The transmission shifter lever was stuck in park and would not move. The dealer says I need a new shifter. This problem seems identical to recall k39 transmission shifter interlock lever but for some reason my car is not included in the recal. I suspect this is an oversight. I will updload the documentation from the dealer when I get it but at the moment the part is on back order.
