So brought the car in today because once I take the car out of reverse, it doesn't always slide down fully and when I go to first, I'm actually going to reverse. Almost slammed into a curb (I always back in) thinking I was going forward and it went into reverse. This was AFTER parking, getting out and going into a store.
Thank god I slammed on the brake fast enough to prevent hitting a 6" cement curb.
Anyways, the tech can't duplicate (of course not, not to any of his fault it happens rarely but does happen). Service Advisor starts with, "we noticed you have an aftermarket shift knob".... I HATE when people say this kind of crap. The shift knob has nothing to do with the lockout not sliding down fully. I know that, they know that. It slides nicely up and down, just sometimes it doesn't go fully down on it's own.
I'm heading down to pick it up shortly but wanted to see if anyone has heard of this before. Pretty sure I've seen this posted before on here.
The service advisor (really nice guy) says he has never heard of it.. most likely need to remove center console to lube it etc. However, not being able to duplicate it, can't really do anything.
I'm now very aware every time I go from reverse to first and insure I pay attention but it's somewhat unnerving as we shouldn't have to worry about this.
Thanks
