Why did Andy have to get off his car and push it? 是不是中式英语句子

我在一套中考练习题上看到这样一个句子： Why did Andy have to get off his car and push it? 另外有道词典也有这样一句：Every time when I get off my father's car, I will hold his hand right away, because I am very afraid of darkness. 类似的句子，在国内英语练习题里很普遍。我觉得get off one's car 用在这里不准确，甚至是中式英语。大家怎么看？

get off one's car 属于典型的容易忽略的错误。《朗文常见错误词典》有相关解释。

该字典get off 词条写道：I got off my car to inspect the damage. (X)

Get off 用于a bus, train, plane, boat, ship, bicycle.

Get out of 用于a car, taxi, boat, train, lift.

英语国家的英语论坛母语网友也认为这是错的。get off one's car, 只有人在车顶上或车厢上下来才有可能这样用。https://forum.thefreedictionary.com/postst156737_Get-out-of-the-car-vs-Get-off-the-car-.aspx

"Get out of the car" is right, as your son is inside the car.
"Get off the car" would imply that someone is on the roof of the car, but a small modification works.
