Hi all, just bought my new car 3 montsh ago. Anyone else having problems moving the shifter ? Intermittently, I cannot move it out of D. I either have to trun the car off and it goes into P, or I have to step on the brake with both feet to finally get it to engage.

Had trouble a couple of times getting it out of N into D- both times was at a car wash and nerve wracking as there was a car right on my bumper.

HAve had it back to dealership twice, they cannot find anything with diagnostics or when they drove it ??????

It would appear that you are pressing down on the shifter.

My guess is a maladjusted or faulty stop light switch. A possible workaround until solved is to engage the P brake (switch), hold your foot on the brake pedal when it descends, then try the shifter.
