Second time into the dealership for the same thing in one year. The "shift to park" warning pops up after I stop and put the shifter into park. However, it does not recognize that fact. The vehicle thinks it is another gear. Even after getting out, my radio stays on and and my horn honks as a warning. I tried to lock the door and it unlocks itself immediately. Multiple starting and stopping only works on occasion. Two lost days to the repair shop. If I didn't have an extended warranty on this latest problem, this visit yesterday would have cost me over $500! I fear this will be a repeating issue .
When parking the vehicle, after shifting to park, the dashboard displays a warning shift to park and will not allow the vehicle to be shut off. The vehicle was stationary on a city street, in our driveway, and also in a parking lot. This prevented me from exiting the vehicle for about 10 minutes each time, will I continued to restart the car, shift from park to another gear and then reshift into park.
