NHTSA Complaint #11089281 — 2012 CHEVROLET SONIC

IN MY 2012 CHEVY SONIC, THE SHIFT BUTTON STICKS WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE THE CAR FROM PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, AND DRIVE. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE SHIFTER IS FREE TO EASILY SWITCH INTO ANY POSITION. THE CAR IS NEVER FULLY ENGAGED IN PARK, AND SOMETIMES I CANNOT TAKE THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT CHEVY WILL NOT COVER REPAIRS, WHICH THEY TYPICALLY REPORT TO BE AROUND $400. THE CAR COULD SHIFT OUT OF PARK ON ITS OWN AND INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND STRIKE A PEDIATRIAN OR PROPERTY. NOTE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, NOT JUST A ONE TIME OCCURANCE.
