The transmission shift control cable became disconnected. When I stopped the vehicle and shifted to park the transmission remained in drive and I was able to turn the vehicle off and remove the key. Upon inspection the cable was hanging loose and whatever kind of retaining clip should have been there was gone. This is exactly the sa, E issue as recall #11181 for 2011 models.
