Stopped vehicle, turned off vehicle and removed key. Later got into car and started it up found it. Attempted again not in park and it was able to replicate it. Took vehicle to dealer, they were able to replicate it, wanted almost $850 to repair and was told it was not considered a safety issue so there was no recall. They recommend the mechanical portion of the ignition switch be repaired. Unable to afford the repair so still occurring. Current mileage is 118,000+ miles.
