Prius 4-cyl

  • 70,100 miles
My 2008 Toyota Prius will not stay in D when shifting or R it pops back into N it does it on hot days. Need to replace the gear shift lever assembly. When its hot outside it binds up and goes back into N while shifting or driving. Has happened 2 times so far in the last week. In order to drive the vehicle you have to hold the lever in R or D to go anywhere.
