Re: Stuck in Park or Key stuck in ignition

this has epl electronic park lock.2 solenoids.1 in the floor shifter compartment and one where the key lock cylinder is and is energized when in park and pin is retracted to remove key.the solenoid in the shifter compartment sometimes sticks and if you wiggle shifter and depress button it will free the key.if power is lost or voltage is not received at the solenoid at key cylinder or that solenoid or wiring is bad then key will not be able to be removed.a series of voltage checks would have to be done to isolate problem.i have a 2008 that sticks sometimes....i would like to diasable this permently.you should not be able to shift out of park without depressing brake pedal...that is the design.
