Description of the problem	Unable to shift the gear shift lever out of the park position. At first i thought i might not have pressed on the brake. After a few attempts it unlocked and i was able to put it in gear. I took it to the local nissan dealership on friday march 27, 2015, and was told the 'brake safety switch' failed. This was replaced at a cost of $154. Left the dealership and car was shifting fine. The next morning i drove a local day went to local store and pulled into a parking spot, when i came out and when to leave, i was not able to shift the gear shift out of the park position. Called the nissan dealership and was told to have it towed in. The tow truck driver removed the "shift lock cover button" and used a screwdriver to override the gearshift lever and then put the car into gear, and on the truck. The service representative stated that the entire gear shift mechanism had to be replaced. They have not told me why it failed. When the car had 59,000 miles i took the car into this same dealership. At t at that time, they replaced the transmission, stating that there was a "code failure". Since the car is no longer under the manufacturer's warranty, the cost for repair is over $650. They have not indicated what caused the failure, only that it has to be replaced . Seems funny that this would fail right after the transmission was replaced.
