I placed the car in park on the street in my community, and left it running while dropping something in a mailbox. Tried to shift into drive to leave, and it would not shift. My foot was firmly on the brake but the console shifter would not budge. I was forced to leave my car just a few doors away from home until the next day when my son came and showed me how to remove the console cover to press the silver button and release the shift. I have seen many complaints about a btsi (?) solenoid or loose wires. Why is there no recall? being stuck could be very hazardous to safety.
Chevy Impala. 3. 5 6cyl. Vehicle stuck in park. Electric pigtail ground wire for shifting broke. Vehicle cannot be moved out of park unless solenoid is pressed below center console. Wires loose could be potential fire hazard. Gm refuses to issue recall. Talked to brandy at gm 800-630-2438 on 7/1/2013 complaint number/service request 71-1199237495.
