Hello All,
My wife's 2007 Foresters shifter is not working. It is automatic. I started the car and shifted into 3rd, moved the car forward and tried to put in park and it stayed in 3rd (I didn't really warm up the car much because we had to take my son to the doctor as his temp hit 105). The display on the dash said "3" and I could put the shifter in any position. I then took my foot off the brake and the tranny was still engaged. I shut the car off and put it in park. I could not start the car anymore and the display now reads "1". I don't know if the shifter linkage broke or came loose, I don't even know how to begin trying to fix this. I can hear the solenoid click if I put it in park and take it out of park, I can move the shifter without having to step on the brake pedal. Sorry for the long post but I am trying to give as much info as I can. I appreciate any help anyone could offer. Thanks.
