2015 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

THE NEW 2015 TAHOES HAVE A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION. I PUSHED OFF THE IGNITION WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE (FORGOT TO PUT IN PARK), EXITED THE VEHICLE AND REALIZED THE CAR WAS ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. I QUICKLY JUMPED IN AND APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS SURPRISED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN DRIVE WHEN THE CAR'S IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES AND THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL! THIS IS A BIG HAZARD. THERE SHOULD EITHER BE A FAIL SAFE AND NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO TURN OFF IN DRIVE OR AUTOMATICALLY PLACE THE CAR IN PARK WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS PRESSED. (THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS ON A RECENT MODEL MERCEDES.) *TR
