Default My TT is shooting at me !

Today I had a scary experience. Parked my TT 225QC in the drive way and pulled the hand brakes. Apparently, it landed at the edge of one of the `tooth'. About 10 second later, it slipped down below that tooth, shooting the button at the end of the handle very forcefully toward the windshield.

Is this is `normal' ? Should not the button be attached better to the handle ?

I've had the same problem, once in 25.000 miles.

Valet did it once. I thought he broke something and was about to kick his ***. But it snapped back.

Dont' grip the shifter so tightly, and shift less often to eliminate premature shooting
