NHTSA Complaint #10808093 — 2013 CHEVROLET SONIC

THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON GETS STUCK IN DEPRESSED POSITION, PREVENTING REMOVAL OF THE KEY FROM IGNITION WHEN IN PARK POSITION AND ALLOWS THE SHIFTER TO SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS AND PARK POSITIONS WITH LITTLE-TO-NO INTERVENTION. INABILITY DISENGAGE BUTTON AND TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION ALSO CREATES INABILITY TO SECURELY PARK THE VEHICLE AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ARE THERE ARE PLENTY OF FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THE TOPIC. HERE IS A VIDEO OF SOMEONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TMUXP0BXTVI THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I DON'T UNDERTAND HOW GM HASN'T RECALLED IT. THE CAR BECOMES LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I GOT HOME ONE NIGHT AND I ALMOST TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION OVERNIGHT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T COME OUT, WHICH WOULD HAD PROBALY KILLED THE BATTERY. THANKFULLY AFTER MINUTES OF TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF AND SHIFTTING GEARS IT FINALLY CAME OUT.
