What is it with guys? I went to the dealer and, after they couldn’t
get the key out of the ignition, told them, "I went on the Internet
and want you to pull the console and check the shift lever position
switch.

Well, no way were they going to do that.

So I wimped out and they had it for 2 days and couldn’t figure out
what was wrong. After hearing the 2nd day’s list of excuses, I went
in to stand on the service manager’s deak and complain.

On day 4 they call and say, "Our lead mechanic checked under the
console. You must have spilled a lot of Cokes on it, because the
shift lever position switch is your problem."

Well - DUH ! This cost me 6 days and $232
