| My car's transmission did not come out of park at a large gas station. the car could not be moved buy any means. after several phone calls to various repair shops i was told that the brake interlock pin would not release. i was told that gm did not build an override into the shifter. after 1 plus hours of trying the pin finally released. by not putting the car in park i got the car to the dealership. they said that the part was superseded twice. the part failed three times before it was repaired. the car could have locked up in a more dangerous situation than mine. *tr | |||
