Consumer Description

OUR CAR IS A GARAGE QUEEN AND USED VERY INFREQUENTLY, ITS ON A BATTERY CHARGER AND FLUID CHANGES DONE ANNUALLY. WE NOTICED THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK AND INTO ANY GEAR. (IE. STUCK IN PARK). IT FINALLY RELEASED AND MOVES FREELY INTO ANY GEAR HOWEVER WHEN PLACED BACK INTO PARK THERE IS NO LOCKING TO AVOID CONSOLE MOUNTED GEAR SHIFTER FROM BEING BUMPED INTO GEAR. BY LAW THERE IS SUPPOSE TO BE A BRAKE/GEAR/LOCK IN ALL CARS TO AVOID THIS. UNFORTUNATELY THE BRAKE PEDAL NEITHERS STOPS OR HELPS THE GEAR SELECTOR FROM MOVING FREELY. MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS SUGGEST ENTIRE SHIFTER NEEDS REPLACEMENT DUE TO SOLENOID ISSUE. REPAIR IS OVER 1000.00 FOR SMALL PART AND EFFECTS ENTIRE MODEL YEAR WITH NO RECALL ISSUED TO DATE. *TR
