How to Fix a Stuck P Gear?
1 Answers
P gear getting stuck occurs because when parking, the P gear is engaged first, and then the brake pedal is released. If the road has a slope, the vehicle may slightly slide backward due to its own weight. During this process, the gap in the P gear lock teeth is automatically eliminated, making it impossible to move the gear lever out of the P position when starting again. In such cases, do not forcefully pull or yank the gear lever. Here are the correct unlocking methods: 1. Release the brake pedal, press it again, and then try to shift gears. 2. Slightly turn the steering wheel and then try to shift gears. 3. Restart the ignition, press the brake once more, and then try to shift gears. 4. Open the hood, disconnect the battery, and then reconnect it. Restart the ignition, press the brake once more, and then try to shift gears.
