Is it parked or while driving. If driving go get the brakes looked at. If parked then my guess is it's a manual trany and the engine compression is not so good. First if parking down a hill put the car or truck in reverse and point the wheels towards the curb so when it rolls 10 inches it will stop when it hits the curb. And use the brake also. Again if it's not working get it repaired.
This is not uncommon. Pretty much any vehicle that does not have what is called "Hill Assist" is going to want to roll backwards when on a hill and the brake pedal is released. Millions of vehicles are not designed to remained stopped in place, on a hill, with no brakes applied.
Have you got any other information about this problem. Have you inspected the brakes? Sometimes, if an axle seal is leaking, the drum will get saturated with axle grease and can cause the shoes to stick and bind until rolling breaks them free. Do you see any signs of leaking on the brake plates?
Adjustment will usually help, but try parking with front pointing down hill next time.(back in, apply E brake .) Emergency brakes usually hold better/well when vehicle front heading down hill. If it doesn't hold with front pointing down, then rear brakes need attention.
Its the parking pal in the transmission that's bad but let me ask something was the car in drive when this happen? if so then it's normal but if it was in park then it's not normal. The parking pal in the transmission is bad. Have a nice day
No, it is not normal. Most people use only one foot when driving, no matter the conditions. However, in this situation I think you may be able to recover this issue by keeping your left foot on the brake, put the car in gear, LIGHTLY apply the gas then slowly remove your foot from the brake. However, I would strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to a shop that can service your transmission and see what they say. It could be just a simple adjustment.
