CAnnot shift out of park in morning start

[PChiu]

My wife's co-worker has a 2008 Edge (Canada)

 

There have been 3 incidence of “stuck/frozen” shift gear.

 

When she starts her car in the morning, she can’t shift from P to R or D, she now finds out if she warms up for 10 minutes, it will work again.

She told the dealer and they don’t think it is a general problem.

 

She made sure she pressed down the brake pedal already .

 

Anyone has this problems ?

 

Thanks

Find out if she's parking on an incline and whether or not she's using the parking brake.

I'd say it's probably the brake pedal interlock that's preventing it from being taken out of park. Probably just a simple sensor. Tell them to try pressing really hard on the brake pedal.

 

I think there is also an emergency release documented in the owner's manual, just in case.
