1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2010

When moving the cvt transmission, dash mounted gear shift lever from reverse to drive the gear shift lever assembly fell apart. The handle fell to the floor, as did the button and the internal spring. This occurred today 8/12/2010 for the first and only time (so far). I managed to re-assemble the spring, button and lever upholstered grip onto the lever itself but I have no idea what is supposed to keep it in place. I found no screw on the floor of the vehicle. It will require servicing to repair at a dealership. In the meanwhile I guess I will have to just use the lever itself but I have concerns about that because I now have a pointed piece of metal sticking out of my dash. I have not driven the vehicle since the incident.
