The contact owns a 2011 Kia Sportage. The contact stated that the shift lock malfunctioned. The contact stated that the failure was once corrected but recurred recently. The failure prevented the vehicle from being placed in park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was told that the shift lock pressure switch needed to be replaced. The contact was concerned because he stated that the dealer advised him that the part would most likely fail again. The failure mileage was unknown.
