Consumer Description

MY CAR GEAR SHIFT LOCKS UP. I CANNOT CHANGE GEARS FROM PARK TO GO IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. I HAVE TO UTILIZE THE MANUAL GEAR SHIFT OVERRIDE EVERY TIME I NEED TO CHANGE GEARS. THE CAR WILL BE STATIONARY AND I MUST KEEP MY FEET ON THE BRAKES AT ALL TIMES AS I FEAR IT MAY SHIFT ON ITS OWN. IT IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM THAT BEGAN 3 WEEKS AGO.
