POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
UPON DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD,WITH NO AAPARENT PRELIMINARY WARNINGS, A SCREW FELL FROM UNDER MY DASH ONTO MY FEET. I DISMISSED IT AS A DASH COVER SCREW AND KEPT DRIVING. UPON REACHING MY HOME AND TRYING TO PUT MY GEARSHIFT INTO "PARK", I REALIZE THIS SCREW HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GEAR SHIFT AND LINKAGE. THE SHIFTER IS NOW LOOSE AND WILL NOT GO INTO "PARK". IF I HOLD IT TOWARDS THE "P" I AM ABLE TO GET MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. I NOW HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND I HAVE TO START THE CAR IN "NEUTRAL". NOT A SERIOUS ISSUE UNLESS IT PROGRESSES AND THE GEARSHIFT FALLS OFF. I WILL HAVE IT FIXED BY THE DEALER TOMORROW - JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. *NM
