Sticky shift knob?

[boatman]

For the past few months maybe 6-7 times when trying to switch to drive, reverse, or park the knob would stick in place for a moment. Then after turning back and forth a few times it would work. Anyone else experienced this? Did it get worse? Thinking about taking it in

What have you been doing with your knob?

Probably a symptom of poor design and harsh weather.

I've seen a couple posts like this. It's not exactly the best material, but some chemicals will definitely make it sticky.

Do you mean sticky or do you mean stuck?

No issues with mine, I don't even recall any post about it but very well could have not seen any

I Always wondered what happens if that knob is bumped- ( it's in a bad place to me) while driving wife set the pocket book on the knob it moved while driving... It goes to Neutral....(no matter which direction its bumped to. which is a good thing). I also accidentally bumped it while going in reverse long ago I think it did the same thing.... goes to Neutral.. If you Open the door while in drive like going up ramps to make sure you're not missing the ramps it automatically goes back to Park... So some things to be aware of.. I wish they'd put it on the dash under the radio or somewhere. On these cold mornings I have noticed it take a few seconds before you transition through the gears but its all fine just be patient I tell myself.

May just be defective. You know how today's unform quality is or should I say isn't?

Yes, won't turn

Do you have your foot on the brake when you do this?

Ok I think I’ve experienced that before but I was able to to see the reason. I just can’t remember because I have CRS. I’m pretty sure it was me and not the shift knob. It’s electric controlled shifting so it was stuck for a reason and not a defect. I believe

Great question.
