shift lever malfunction
I was parked in another state and when I started my car, the message Shift Lever Malfunction, Service immediately came on. I could start the car, but could not shift out of park. I had to be towed to the dealer in the state in which I live on a Friday night. Hyundai Roadside Assistance would not tow as it would be more than 25 miles. Dealer kept the car until Thursday morning, replacing a module. Friday afternoon the same malfunction occurred, this time with the gear being stuck in Drive. Since I could not put it in park, the car had to keep running all night. The car stopped running as I was driving in the driveway to my house. I had to have the car towed again, but the tow truck from hyundai roadside assistance could not pull the car out from where it was stranded in a wooded area. I had to get a private tow company that my dealer provided. The car is reportedly now ready for me to pick up after waiting for a part - a new shifter - to arrive by the following Friday. I am scheduled to pick up the car tomorrow. The dealer did provide me with a loaner. I am hoping that the car is indeed fixed, but I am very nervous that the same issue will occur.
