OK Boys, You think you have problems. I have the same problem with a manuel ION. I am alone and IF the car is straight and IF it is on level ground, unhooking is a piece of cake. BUT, one time I fogot to put the car in gear and proceded to remove the pins, not realizing that I was on the slightest hill. WELL, with the pins out, the car decided to roll toward the RV. So, I just sat on the bumper of the RV and put my feet on the car to stop it. Since I unhook the car along the golf course, I had to wait for the next foursome to come along then very humbly begged one of the "boys" to save me. I am sure that "the little woman" was the topic of conversation at the 19th hole. And I am sure that none of "the boys" would have ever been in that situation. Especially if they had their "little woman" to help them out. If only the car had rolled in the opposite direction, I could have caught up with it and avoided the humiliation. PS, I have a special screwdriver to tap the pins out if need be. And I learned that from my husband.
