It is very puzzling why they would agree to pay half the cost's? I cannot find any recalls or TSB's which specifically relate to the transmission not shifting out of park or to the brake pedal/control system.
It is possib;e they are doing other work under warrenty/recall whilst fixing the problemask the dealer why they have agree to pay half the cost's
I did find these and one is a recall. And may or may not be related to your original problem? Please let me know the outcome

PROGRAMMING SBC HYDRAULIC UNIT
SERVICE INFORMATION
This Recall Campaign has been initiated because DCAG has determined that on the affected vehicles (see VIN range below), in certain instances, the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) pump motor may run out of permissible tolerances, thereby triggering the hydraulic back up function mode. In the hydraulic back up mode, the driver has braking power sufficient to stop the vehicle, although greater brake pedal pressure is required and the brake pedal travel will be noticeably longer which could lead to a vehicle crash. The recall will be conducted in order to re-program the SBC Hydraulic unit.
Please review the Effective Serial Number Chart located below.
Attached is a sample copy of a letter which owners of the affected vehicles will receive.
Prior to performing this Recall Campaign:
Please check VMI to insure the vehicle is involved and to determine if the vehicle has been previously repaired.
Please review the entire Recall Campaign bulletin.
Approximately 140,387 vehicles are affected.
