I have a 2001 Volkswagen (vw) Jetta . The VIN is 3vw1g29m91m052622. Vehicle has 54,953 miles on it and yesterday I had to have the shift lock solenoid replaced. Sometimes after driving if you would take the vehicle out of drive and put it in park or another gear it would get stuck in that gear. I just wanted to let you know since I feel this could possibly be a major concern.
