wow, never heard of this kind of issue, maybe isolated case.
it's better you take video showing the gear level and dashboard, together with you revving car cannot move before you go SC. Show them so they have a clearer picture of what's wrong.

I'll try if it happens again. So lucky man haha. Mayb some sensors or electronic problem. That's what I feel since I can shift the gear just it doesn't appear

I'll try go sc where I bought the car at tomorrow morning and see how.

itu 2 lejen sifu in persona thread

sound system too good isit?

yea take back to SC to rectify the problem

u put to "P" after parking your car then only you pull the handbrake right ( engage to P when you stopped car > release foot brake > pull hand brake > turn engine off)?

P > pull handbrake > release foot brake > off engine.
How come you release foot brake then only pull handbrake? Isn't that stressing the P gear lockpin?

my persona clutch sometimes hard sometimes soft? whats the prob?

When was the last time you change the brake fluid?

brake fluid???

never.

my mileage almost 100k.

my style D > N > pull handbrake > release footbrake > P > off engine

weird.

i used to continental audi style edi (ex-family car), without foot brake it will not allow you to shift out from N, not possible to shift from N > P at all.
This is safety feature for audi since they also have the "unintended acceleration" case at 1980s which manufacturer blame it's driver fault of not applying foot brake when shifting gear. so 1980s-2000s audi car will have "always apply foot brake when shifting to driving range" wording either beside gear shifter console, or display on meter cluster like C5 A6.

i somehow feel it's not as easy as "resetting" per your problem description. it's some sensor wasn't able to detect at the time when you shifting gear.
resetting is more likely for auto gear shifting algorithm at your driving on D range or error code only.

This one stresses out the parking pin as well unless your car doesn't move at all once you release the foot brake.

I do this all the time. Initially always applied p and hand brake together before releasing the foot brake, but I noticed that it causes the gear shift to be harder than usual + the car will move a little as you do this even with the hand brake on, showing that the car actually was held by the parking pin rather than the hand brake completely.

I don't apply P anymore however, since the Persona doesn't have any safety mechanism related to the gears.

mine is P>releas a bit footbrake> handbrake>fully release footbrake>off engine

Of all my cars....only Persona don't have brake lock on the gearknob. Even Saga also has it.

Why weird? This is to ensure the car is resting on the handbrake, not your gearbox's parking brake.

Yea error code only. Told me to monitor if its ever occur come back again to get the sensors replaced I think. Been driving it 4-5 times only occur 1 time after that no issues. Will continue monitor it. Will update from time to time here.
The sensor stuff is what is said by them.

then for other car how u gonna do this?
"D > N > pull handbrake > release footbrake > P > off engine"
You release then reapply foot brake again before shifting to P?

oh yeah just found 1 of my friend will never pull handbrake unless it's on slope area and car will moves... he seems "forget" there's handbrake for use.

just weird to me because different method than mine.
maybe i should try your method later.

follow dares suggestion...and try again c isit easy to shift out from P or not...
"D > N > pull handbrake > release footbrake > press footbrake > P > off engine"
