The suburban parking gear seems to want to engage while the vehicle is moving.

Transmisioon is tight and shifts well between gears but at about 10 miles an hour there is a terrible sound, exactly the same as when a car is shifted into park while the engine is reved too high.

On one occaission it jumped out of park into reverse.

Since its first occurrance the vehicle has not been driven at high speed only at slow speeds to help determine source and cause of sound.
