| Description of the problem | Shift locks in park leaving me in a non-operating situation at a gas station. Luckily i had a screw driver in my glove box was able to locate and push down on the "shift release" button allowing me to move into drive. Since the incident, the shift consistently locks in park position and @38k, have surpassed the warranty with nissan. Unfortunately nissan doesn't sell the solenoid separately and had to purchase the full assembly @$451. 90 + $250 labor. Since 1990, i've consistently held onto my car for 8 - 10 years averaging 150k mi. Per vehicle. I really hope this flags the attention and fits the protocol of a recall. |
