I had to take the vehicle in 3 times for a "shifter error", which was still happening off and on until I traded the vehicle. The shifter error did seem to be just that, a problem with the shifter electronics or shifter connections as it never affected trans operation. It was a real pain though as an error pops up in the DIC and you have to pull over and turn the vehicle on and off to clear or just keep driving with a useless information cluster until that is done. |
