As I was getting ready to shift the gear lever to drive the lever sheared off and I was unable to have control of shifting the transmision to any other position such as (p/n/r). I stop the car as a safety concern and looked at the broken gear shift lever and it appear to be sheared off the weakest area of the lever or where the shifting load takes place. Car still under warranty but dealer refused to fix it under warranty with the excuse excessive force applied to shift which cause the lever to brake. I am sure the is a material defects and fatique. I have the bad part on hand and wich if I can send it for lab test to find the cause of the damage and may be this will alert for a recall.
