Mine is a 2016 Freewheeler - - think I saw somehing some time ago, that one model year was set this way.
Anywone know which year?
Also found another issue - - I had let it roll back on a slight hill. Left it in gear, and turned it off -- when tried to get it into neutral would not go -- shift lever moved between gears, but not into neutral. Was told that if this happens, should rock forward while in gear, which will then allow neutral to engage.
Even tho the hill was very gradual, was difficult to rock forwared.
