Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I learned through a friend today that there may be a condition in my 2004 chevrolet suburban that i should be very careful with when leaving small children in the vehicle for brief periods of time. i was told that when the key is turned to the first/accessories position, that the shifter lock disengages so that the shifter can be moved out of park and into neutral, etc. because this could easily be an issue when i leave my child in the vehicle and leave the key turned to the accessory position while i'm loading the car, walking around to reach him to fasten seat-belt, fill gas, etc., i tested it, and it's true. the shifter can be easily moved into neutral when the key is in the accessory position. i know this is true not only on some or all of the suburbans, but on yukons, too. this should be recalled and corrected.
