Why Won't My Car Shift Out of Park?
What the customer reported
The vehicle was towed in to our Winter Haven shop because it stayed in park and would not shift into gear. Another shop had estimated a gear selector switch.
What we found and did
The OEM gear selector part was a month out and outside the owner's budget, so the technician looked into alternative repair options. After the initial testing at no charge, the team performed a remove and replace of the console shift select chip and chip board, which included programming.
