WHEN THE ZDX IS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND USED THE NEXT DAY, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE DESPITE THE ENGINE STARTING AND SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. ALL INDICATORS CONVEY THE CAR IS SHIFTED, WHEN GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THE ENGINE REVS AND ROARS LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT'S NOT! ONLY AFTER SHIFTING THE CAR BACK AND FORTH INTO PARK ABOUT 2-3TIMES AT ABOUT 5 SEC INTERVALS DOES THE CAR DRIVE LIKE NORMAL. ONCE THE CAR IS GOING FOR THE DAY NO FURTHER ISSUES ARE HAD UNTIL THE NEXT DAY OR DAY AFTER IT'S BEEN RESTING OVERNIGHT. *TR
