Defect
On the CVT select lever, an improperly configured jig used during skin molding has worn down the mating surface that interfaces with the select button. This allows the select button to disengage from the lever during operation, rendering the button inoperable. As a result, the transmission may become unable to shift out of Park, or may become unable to shift into Park or Reverse.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the select lever with a corrected part.
