Could be many reasons. The year, make, model and engine info would be helpful. If the check engine light is on have it scanned for codes. This would be a good place to start.

How do you do downhill parking?

1. Turn on your right turn signal 2. Get about six inches from the curb 3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right 4. Put the car in neutral and let the wheels roll until the hit the curb 5. Put the car in park 6. Put on the emergency brake 7. When you are ready to leave, take off the emergency brake, put the car in reverse, and gently get off the curb. Then put your left signal on, put the car in drive, and leave. An easy way to remember if you turn the wheels left or right is: Up up and away. If you're uphill parking turn the wheels away from the curb. Down Down in. If you're downhill parking turn the wheels inwards towards the curb.
