Does the car get damaged when the door is not closed tightly and it automatically shifts to P gear?

Shifting into P gear before the car comes to a complete stop will not damage the car, just remember to adjust it back when starting. Below is some information about automatic transmissions: Shifting before stopping: For automatic transmission cars, you can shift gears or shift into P gear before the car comes to a complete stop. Generally, the parking mechanism in automatic transmissions is designed to prevent damage to the transmission. Additionally, you can also shift into R gear. In most transmission control units, R gear has an inhibition control feature, meaning that if the vehicle speed is above a certain threshold, the transmission will not engage R gear even if it is selected. These features are in place to prevent accidental operations. Automatic transmission gear positions: Typically, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as follows: P, R, N, D, S, L. P—Parking, the parking and starting gear. When the car is parked and not in use, the gear is in this position, and the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling.
