Condition
Some customers may comment about an intermittent squeaking noise coming from inside the automatic transmission control area and/or the lower
console area. Customers may also comment that the shifter is difficult to operate. Inspection may reveal a sticky residue on the external surfaces of the
automatic transmission control.
Cause
Investigation has determined that a beverage may have spilled on the console and worked its way into the shifter control assembly, causing the moving
components to bind and stick. The components within the assembly that are affected include the "rooster comb", detent spring and associated
mechanisms.
Correction
Important
Do not use any solvent-based cleaning products as they may attack and compromise the integrity of the composite materials used in the control
assembly.
1. Clean the external shifter control components including the shifter handle, bezel and the moving closeout panel using the cleaner listed below.
Verify that the condition has been corrected. If the condition is not corrected, use the following steps.
2. Remove the left side console extension panel to access the automatic transmission control. Refer to Front Floor Console Extension Panel
Replacement - Left Side in SI (1).
