Consumer Description

CAR DROVE FINE, PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, WENT BACK OUT TEN MINUTES LATER AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. AND THE OVERRIDE THE OWNERS MANUAL SUGGESTS WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. IT WAS SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE. WHEN I CALLED THE TOW COMPANY, THEY STARTED LAUGHING. I WAS ABOUT THE 25TH DODGE THEY WERE GOING TO TOW SO FAR FOR THE WEEK! I GUESS THIS IS A PLASTIC PIECE DOWN NEAR THE SHIFTER THAT BREAKS IN HIGH HEAT. *TR
