Twice now my local car wash has put my Mav in PARK while going through the wash!!!!

First time I'd thought it was nerves and accidently did it myself when Knob is easily "bumped"...but then yesterday- NO ACCIDENT!

WTF is that all about? EMI or moisture

'cuz both times now it happened at the end and at the blower drying phase of wash.
;;;;;; UPDATE ;;;;;;;

The instruction manual on Temporary Neutral Mode worked well during "drag chain" car wash.
Thank you to those that READ THE MANUAL!

NOW ON AND TO THE "DRIVE THRU" car wash TEST TODAY.

That just sets the brake set but doesn't mess with the gear selector.....
Thanks. I didn’t know what it did for sure. There are so many safety features on new cars.

Car Wash Update:

Drag Chain style: 10 washes

Since having learned of CAR WASH mode (aminal and huunvubu) I've experienced zero problems with ECM dumping Trans back into park. This includes "popping open" driver door to first latch position during drying cycle.

Drive Thru style: 10 washes

Again, with CAR WASH mode ( Trans in Neutral, press "L" button or LOW, then "OK" on message center) 3 out of 10 times the ECM dumped Trans into Park while slow rolling thru dryer and door ajar!!!!

ANYBODY ELSE?.......congrats! FESS UP
