2015 Chevrolet Sonic

WE OWN A CHEVY SONIC AT ROUNG 28000 MILES THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD GET STUCK AND NOT POP OUT; ONE LEAVING THE CAR IN GEAR, TWO NOT ALLOWING YOU TO REMOVE THE KEY AFTER YOU HAVE "PARKED" AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. BECAUSE THE BUTTON DOES NOT POP OUT THE CAR STAYS IN GEAR AND THUS EVEN AFTER PARKING AND TURNING THE ENGINE OFF THE CAR CAN SHIFT AND ROLL OUT OF GEAR. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON ALL YEAR SONICS. THE BUTTON STUCK, WHILE WE DROVE, AND PARKED. WE THEN HAD THE PARK REPLACED. THE SECOND BUTTON SNAPPED AT THE BASE TWO MONTHS LATER!!!! NOW AFRIAD TO USE THE CAR. I BELIEVE ONLY REPLACING THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT WILL MAKE THIS PROBLEM GO AWAY. THE BUTTONS JUST DONT WORK.

OUR VEHICLE WAS HIT WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DIDN'T YIELD AT A STOP INTERSECTION. SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ENTIRE DRIVER SIDE OF OUR THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. MY HEAD BOUNCED OFF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW CAUSING INJURY THAT I DIDN'T SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR. CHILD IN BACKSEAT DRIVER SIDE HIT HEAD AS WELL, AND DID SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. OUR VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE, AND HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SCENE.

I HAD JUST PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AT THE GROCERY STORE, I PRESSED THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT STICK AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT INTO PARK, HOWEVER THE STICK GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SHIFT UP PAST THE "R" OR REVERSE POSITION, I COULD NOT PLACE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE TO COME HELP ME GET THE CAR INTO THE PARK POSITION. THIS SHIFT STICK BUTTON WAS GETTING STUCK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THIS BUT IT HAS NEVER GOTTEN STUCK LIKE THAT. I HAVE TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL BE OF ANY HELP.
