I WAS AT WORK TODAY AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK WHEN I GOT READY TO LEAVE, I AM A FEMALE AND THIS IS NOT SAFE WITH ME GETTING OFF AT NIGHTS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE FIRST TIME WAS THE DAY BEFORE WHILE STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC DUE TO AN ACCIDENT I COULD NOT GET MY VEH OUT OF PARK, I HAD TO CALL THE DEALER AND I WAS ADV TO TAKE THE CHROME PART OFF WHERE MY GEAR SHIFTER IS AND PULL A PINK BUTTON AND IT SHOULD RELEASE THE GEARS, THAT DIDN'T WORK SO I HAD TO USE A PEN TO PUSH THE OTHER PINK PART UNDERNEATH AND IT RELEASED MY VEH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL . *TR
