Problem Abstract: Inability to shift or remove keys
Reported By: Ed Frost (EFrost@compuserve.com)
Year: 1997
Model: SE
Mileage: 23000
Applicable Options:
Solution: The dealer has replaced the shift assembly (with solenoid) and has made adjustments to the brake switch assembly. Both have worked for a brief period, but the problem continues to persist intermittently.
Cost: warranty
Other: Problem still persists on an intermittent basis. Have been able to duplicate the failure 1 time at the dealership, although it has happened 8+ times over the last 5 weeks. When this condition occurs, the shift postition light in the dash will not light up, and the key cannot be removed from the ignition w/out using the manual override.
