Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had difficulty moving the automatic transmission gear shift lever when the car was about 1 year old. the problem would occur on and off over the next few years. i finally had to replace the part when the gear shift lever was stuck with my key still in the ignition about 2 or 3 years ago. i can't remember if it was an electrical/ignition or transmission problem. now the same problem is happening again!
