SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK UNLESS YOU PULL CONSOLE APART AND PHYSICALLY PUSH THE SPRING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SHIFTER WITH SCREWDRIVER. THEY HAVE A RECALL ON IF NOT THIS PART A VERY SIMILAR PART BETWEEN THE YEARS 2005-2007 WHICH THIS CLEARLY FALLS INTO BUT IS VIN SPECIFIC AND THEY CLAIM DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE. FUNNY IT IS BYPASSED IDENTICALLY TO THE PEOPLE WHO THE RECALL DOES COVER. CLEARLY A KNOWN FLAW BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. CAR IS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURS.

WHEN BY GAS LEVEL GETS TO 1/4 TANK OR BELOW AND I REFUEL, THE CAR STALLS FOR A WHILE AND SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ANYTIME I FILL UP.

THE CAR IS STUCK IN PARK, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IT'S VERY COMMON. THEY SAID IT IS THE SHIFT INTERLOCK SWITCH, SOMEHOW NOT COVERED ON THE RECALL. $90 TO TOW AND THEY SAY IT WILL BE SEVERAL HUNDRED TO FIX THE TINY PLASTIC PART. VERY UNSAFE.
