Description of the problem	I was parked in a parking spot, put the car in reverse to back out, when i tried to put it in drive it wouldn't shift past neutral. It has done this six times in the last year since the first incident but has become more frequent. This last time, the same thing occurred every time i parked (four times in one day). Also the esc and dbc lights come on when this happens. I finally decided to call the dealership and schedule an appointment because on this same day, as i was driving on the highway the esc and dbc lights came on and stayed on until i pulled over and turned the car off.
