Leaving a restaurant-backed out of parking space, had turned wrong way to leave; re-enter parking space, went to back out again when gearshift broke, was loose & couldn't put in gear to go forward or backwards. Was pushed back into parking space. Called for help. Several people looked at it & found a way to turn transmission/gearshift into gear manually. Took Pt Cruiser to shop to be fixed. The gearshift selector cable had broken. Had to remove & replace shift selector cable - automatic trans. The gearshift was slightly tight to shift when we first got the car, but the day before the cable broke, it was getting really hard to shift. Now that it is fixed it shifts really easy. Wondering if the cable was already tightening up from the beginning.
Trunk lock will not open. There is no trunk keyed lock for insertion of a physical key and there is no emergency manual release on the trunk door itself. Lock only has functionality from key remote or lock release on driver door which is not working.
