| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: First i could not shift out of park. stepping on the breake should allow the lever on the shift lever to depress allowing me to shift into drive. this was an intermittent problem at first. next, came the key problem within a week or two. i could not turn the key back to it's home position in order to take it out. after much research i learned that i could stick a pen or other pointed object up under the steering column to realease the key. i also need to depress the shift lock release next to the shift lever in order to get the car out of park. within 3-4 weeks this problem went from intermittent to the point where it happens every time now. i have found numerous reports online of other grand prix owners who report the same problem. i will not buy another grand prix now for fear of the newer models having the same problem. |
