    I can't switch gear out of park intermittantly. Sometimes it takes
    several minutes and multiple attempts to get into drive. I push break
    pedal but gear handle remains locked.

    What should I check first? The car is still under 100,000 powertrain
    warranty. Is this problem covered?

    Thank you in advance,
    Lenja

    This problem won't be covered. There are a number of components that could
    be causing your issue, but none of them are part of the powertrain.

    First, when the problem happens, check your brake lights. If they're not
    on, you probably need a new brake pedal switch.

    Should be able to hear or feel the solenoid in the shifter assembly click
    when you hit the brakes as well?
