Hi everyone,
I have an 02 LSE, If I park it on even a small incline and forget to put on the Emergency brake, it is difficult to get it out of park. I am affraid of breaking ither something in the linkage of something in the transmission. The Dealer said this is normal on the LS.

I dont trust the dealers, They also told me my passenger seat does not have a seat belt sensor and I know when someone use to sit there without putting on the belt it would set off the signal.
Anyone else have these problems?
 
Yes, that's normal. That's why they make emergency brakes! :) The reason it's hard to get out of park is because you have this fairly small parking pawl that's crammed against the flywheel with 3600 lbs of pressure. Just use the e-brake and you'll be fine.
