I have a 2009 Ford Escape. The parking/gear shift handle is stuck in park. Because it happened late at night while getting gas the wrecker showed by where to stick a pen in this opening next to the handle so I could move the gear to drive or reverse. My question is I have a deductible on my warranty. Is this something that will cost a lot to fix?
Thank you,
Yvette

If the brake lights are working-Have the shift interlock control solenoid checked
