Consumer Description

MY CAR BECAME STUCK IN PARK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO HAVE IT TOWED, BUT LUCKILY I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED I HAD TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM BY STICKING A BOLT INTO A PORT ON THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE PERSONALLY WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS FAMILIAR WITH IT. IT IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING TO BE STUCK IN A PARKING LOT UNABLE TO DRIVE YOUR CAR WHEN ITS AN ISSUE THAT COULD EASILY BE PREVENTED. IT WAS A 100+ DEGREE DAY AND LUCKILY I WAS IN TOWN. BUT HAD I BEEN STUCK OUT AT A TRAILHEAD OR OTHERWISE OUT OF CELL SERVICE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
