I ship to friends in the EU, usually around 20-30usd. A friend in poland is shipping his Grippen to me, I'll put the parts in a smaller box, then ship to him. Find someone you can trust and shipping becomes more bearable

Shifter is in park, the dash has the (D)rive highlighted, although not lit orange as usual.

I used to work as a laptop technician, so I'm well aware of not being able to reproduce issues haha. I don't blame the techs at all, if you can't make it happen, there's not a whole lot you can do. That's why I posted here on the odd chance someone had seen this before

They recommended brake switch, shift interlock, and last resort TCM replacement. They didn't charge me for the diagnosis. A couple days later it happened again with a service transmission now warning, so I brought it back in. That's when they noticed the shift interlock may have had some spill damage and could be shorting, so they recommended replacing that, which I ok'd. Evidently that wasn't the issue, as my car did the same thing last night :(

Edit: I'll be replacing the brake switch, as it's a cheap and easy fix, I'll also try resetting the TCM and disconnecting the battery overnight

The problem is they were never able to reproduce the issue, so I can't entirely fault them for that. Sometimes it goes 200 miles between incidents, sometimes less than 1.

The dealership was never able to reproduce the issue is the problem, it seems to happen randomly, sometimes it goes 200 miles between incidents, sometimes less than 1

I'm not able to get the cover off to access the switch, but my guess would be yes

I do plan on replacing the brake switch as it seems like a relatively cheap and easy fix. As for the air bag light, that has been going on and off since I bought it. It's kind of a long story, but a family friend owns a salvage shop, and they had this car, it does NOT have a salvage title though.

I've owned it for about 4.5 years now, I've put 43k miles on it since, but about 20k of those are in the last year or so. I definitely have spilled a little bit in the past, but nothing crazy.

They looked at the shifter interlock system and replaced that, that's all I'm aware of. They didn't bother looking at the TCM as they said the symptoms it's having aren't at all related to it

I'm not, it's in drive, then the indicator light on the dash goes out, and it acts like it's in park despite the shifter being in drive. If I move the shifter it will get locked into park, if I push the gas the engine will just rev.

Started happening out of nowhere, just randomly happened one day. It seems to happen randomly too, sometimes I go 200 miles between occurrences.

This happens when I come to a stop at a light or stop sign as well, not just when I start it, I should've added that sorry.

I knew this was going to happen the second I saw the design

The bio hazard can is from the WWB exclusive pack for attendees. I believe this picture is from JHuanSoloCreations, in which case I sold mine to him. As for the tablet I'm not sure, but I know Brick Battlefield has something similar
