My wife has been complaining about the car jerking back and forward when pressing the parking button. It is extremely prevalent when on an incline/decline but even on even ground. When you come to a complete stop and engage parking, it rocks back and forward, as if though the parking gear is loose or doesnt fully engage.

I took it to the dealer and they said it was normal function and advised to use Auto Hold. This doesnt seem normal.

Anyone else experience this?

First car? First auto car?

The rocking on a hill is normal, most auto cars will roll (Gravity) as the parking lock lever is engaging. It is quite uncomfortable in my opinion. I always use the parking brake when I park.

Every auto car I have owned does a tiny bit of movement when I engage park if the brakes aren't engaged. I am used to using the parking brake as I drive a manual regularly.

There is a slight jerk but not that bad. If your head moves when it jerks, than might be an issue.
