Consumer Description

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY 2011 KIA SORENTO IN MY GARAGE WHEN THE DOWNHILL ASSIST AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT BEYOND NEUTRAL. I HAD TO SHUT OFF CAR WHILE IN 'DRIVE' AND TURN BACK ON, WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO SHIFT TO PARK. HUGE PROBLEM AND HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES THE PAST TWO DAYS! I'LL BE CALLING DEALERSHIP FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING. *TR
