I just purchased this car in February 2011. Car has operated fine and operated fine earlier today. This evening, as I was attempting to make a quick run to the store, I started my car, pressed on the brake pedal and proceeded to move the gear shift lever from park to reverse. I could not get the gear shift lever to move out of park. It was stuck. There was no prior indication to this issue. Now I'm stranded at home with no vehicle.
