Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Gear shift indicator does not illuminate when first starting the car and in a dark surrounding such as a car port or garage, it's impossible to see what gear has been selected. i fear that even though caution is used, there is high potential for an accident because the wrong gear was selected. after a couple of minutes the light does come on and all is normal. is this a design problem or is there a defect in the car's electrical system? *jb
