Phaeton :: Transmission Shift Lever Stuck In Park - Key Will Not Come Out Of Ignition

I searched for a prior post on this without success. I have a serious problem with my '04 V-8 transmission shift lever being stuck in Park in cooler weather. Ny wife is the primary driver, and on some cooler mornings it is almost impossible for her to move the shift lever out of park. She has to let the car warm up a bit, and then move the lever around a bit with all her might before it will finally move out of park. The dealer can't figure out what is wrong. It only appens when the temperature is below about 50 degrees, and with winter approaching, frequent problems lie ahead.

TrailBlazer :: 2002 Envoy SLE - Stuck In Park / Ignition Will Not Go Into Lock Position

I've recently purchased an 02 Envoy from an auction. There are a couple of issues. The main one started last night. While at the store I put the truck in park and turn off the ignition. The ignition will not go into the lock position. I messed with the key and go it to turn off. Then started the truck to leave and couldn't put the truck in gear. I messed with the shifter and was able to put into gear.

At that point the gear shifter would move from park to reverse without me pushing the break pedal. I drove home and could not turn the key all of the way off again. Moved gear selector from 1st to Park a few times and then was able to remove the key. I restarted the truck and could not move the gear selector again; however I was able to remove the key easily.

I am leaning towards replacing the "Neutral Safety Switch" on the tranny but with my symptoms, I've seen brake light switch, ignition, and solenoid at gear shift selection.

Back up lights do not work either. Since I purchased the truck, I've replaced,

-Battery
-Ignition Coil

Touareg :: Key Got Stuck In Ignition And Unable To Start 2004 TDi

My key got stuck in the ignition and I was unable to start it. The owners' manual shows a small hole to the left of the key slot which is poked with a paper clip to release the key. At some point the ignition in my tdi was replaced and no small hole is present. A knowledgeable tow truck operator/mechanic coaxed the key from the ignition and the tdi started when the key was returned to the ignition and turned. What is the proper way to remove a stuck key from an ignition without the little hole. I was reluctant to force it out. The ignition currently in my '04 tdi has a raised bar to the left of the key slot which I was unable to depress.

Touareg :: Ignition Switch Fell In Behind The Dash When Put Key In

When my wife went to put the key in the ignition switch, the ignition switch fell in behind the dash.

So I took off work early today and went to trade in my 95 Trooper and get an '04 Touareg. I guess I'll have to cancel my Planet Isuzu account. A friend of mine works at a dealership and they had two '04s on the lot, one black, one beige. I went with the beige because my black Jetta doesn't hide dirt well at all and the bird poop really stands out. Also, the beige, although it has more miles (47,000), was in much better shape, was more cush, and felt safer on the test drive. Not sure the why of that other than the owner of the black one put some really hard miles on it, or perhaps he had a sportier suspension.

Anyway, I buy the thing, take it home, and park it up by the mailboxes. I then put the key in the mailbox and walked home. I told my wife the Trooper broke down (a very believable story) and asked her to come for a ride with me in the golf cart to get the mail so I could vent.

On the ride there, I tell her a great story about how and where the Trooper broke down and what a pain in the ass it was and how I couldn't reach her on her cell phone, and it's a good thing our friend Marc runs a towing service and she's buying it. And she opens the mailbox. And she gets the key and is thrilled.

So she drives it home and I drive the golf cart home and we go inside and decide to go take a ride to get some dinner. I let her drive. We get in and she goes to put the key in the ignition and says, "That's weird." And as I say, "What's weird?" she goes to put the key in again and the ignition switch disappears and falls in behind the dash. There's a hole in my dash where my key used to go.

Touareg :: 2004 V8 Can't Get Out Of Park / Brake Light On The Dash Is Flashing

I have a major problem with my 04 V8 Touareg! I can't shift out of park. I spoke to the dealer and they told me that the battery could be the problem since I had to get it jumped. I changed the battery, and I still can't get it out of park. The brake light on the dash is flashing and the ABS light is on. The vehicle is parked in garage and the only way to get it out and on to a tow truck is to drag it.

Touareg :: Undersized CD Stuck Into The Dash CD Player And It Won't Eject?

I have the basic radio and my 7 year old stuck an undersize round CD into the player which won't eject it, won't recognize it, and won't mount another regular disc. The dealer says that I need to send the whole player off to be repaired and that they have no tool to fuss with it for this - I know that undersize discs are a problem for the computer industry, sadly, my little guy jumped into the car and did this without my foreknowledge. We were preparing to leave the house.

Camry :: 2004 - Dash Stopped Displaying Information - Fuel Gauge / Speed

Last week, our 2004 Camry's dash stopped displaying information - fuel gauge / speed / etc. two nights ago, I reseated a number of fuses, and it worked for a while, but stopped working again yesterday. All the fuses looked intact, even though some of the contacts were a little gunky. I cleaned them off, but it continues not to work.

Additionally, after reseating a number of fuses, I get 5 quick beeps when turning off the car, which may be coming from our aftermarket radio.

I read on another site last night to disconnect the battery, and that may reset the computer, and relight the dash. I did that, it didn't fix the problem, and afterwards when I started the car the idle was so slow the car wouldn't even stay running. After about 20 minutes, the idle was still very low, but the car would run. When I checked it this morning, it was idling fine, but the dash still wasn't lighting up.

The seatbelt lights and gear light up ok, but nothing else on the dash works. Battery, alternator, dash? What does this sound like?

Lexus LS 2007+ :: 2008 LS460L Periodically Displaying VSC System Error Message In Dash

My 2008 LS460L has been periodically displaying the following message in the dash display: "VSC System Error" ...

This message displays on and off about every other day. Yesterday, I hooked an OBD2 scanner up and discovered the following error code history:

P0171 : System Too Lean Bank 1

P0174 : System Too Lean Bank 2

P0022 : "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Retarded Bank 2

P0335 : Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

P2195 : 02 Sensor Biased/Stuck Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1

Every now and then the engine will run a little rough, but usually at low RPM, and (again) not very often. The car has 166,000 miles of mostly highway driving.
