hey-it sounds to me like you have a problem with the ESM (electronic selector module) which is your gear shifter-theres a plastic lever inside of the housing that brakes-this is something that willneed to be replaced at a dealership because the new ESM has to be programmed and removed from transport mode using the SDS-hope i can be of some assistance
