Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THE SHIFTIER FREELY MOVES BETWEEN ALL POSITIONS EXCEPT WILL NOT GO ALL THE WAY FORWARD TO THE "PARK" POSITION. IT CAN EVENTUALLY BE MOVED FORWARD BY FIDDLING WITH IT OR ONE TIME A PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO FORCE IT. EVEN WHEN THIS IS DONE, THE INDICATOR IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT ALWAYS SHOW A GEAR SELECTED SO IN THOSE CASES, IT IS UNKNOWN WHETHER IT IS TRULY IN PARK.
