Consumer Description

SHORTLY AFTER EXCEEDING THE 30,000 MILE WARRANTY THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. FORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS BECAUSE I FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO GET IT OUT OF PARK BY REMOVING THE GEAR SHIFT COVER AND USING A SCREWDRIVER TO LIFT THE PIECE THAT IS USUALLY LIFTED BY THE BRAKE CABLE TO THE GEAR SHIFT. THE DEALER ORDERED THE PART REPLACEMENT BUT THE LABOR COSTS WERE EXORBITANT SO I TOOK IT TO A FRIEND WHO USED TO BE A DODGE DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT FOR LESS THAN $100. *TR
