I picked up an 07 GP base model last fall for my son. Done a few things to it but the best upgrade was ditching the factory 16's for some aftermarket 18's. Here's my latest concern. I figured out that you don't have to have your foot on the brake to shift the car into gear. I also found out that when the car is in gear it can be turned off and the key can be removed from the ignition (I figured this one out when the car wasn't running). I thought there was a safety feature that doesn't allow the key to be removed if the car is turned off while in gear? Limited online research has lead me to the interlock solenoid. Does that sound right? I was thinking about replacing the shifter assembly with a used unit off ebay to see if that helped. Here are some of my questions:
1. Is the interlock solenoid located on the shifter assembly?
2. How difficult is it to replace the entire shifter assembly?
3. Is there more than one interlock solenoid (I've seen reference to one under the steering column)?
4. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did the fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
