Consumer Description

THERE IS THIS PLASTIC SLEEVE ON THE BOTTOM OF MY SHIFTER THAT SLIPS DOWN. WHEN THAT PIECE IS DOWN I CANNOT RETRIEVE MY KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER I TURN THE CAR OFF. THE LOCK ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING WITH THE KEYFOB. IT WORKED MANUALLY UNTIL TODAY, NOW I HAVE TO ENTER AND LEAVE MY CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE PANEL IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE OFF WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. SO REPLACING THE PROBLEMATIC DEVICE IS IMPOSSIBLE. I CALLED FOR A LOCKSMITH. AFTER 2 HOURS OF TRYING TO OPEN THIS DOOR, HE GAVE UP. *TR
