Had a similar situation with the shifter cable on my GMC 4x4. There's a small, cheesy bracket that holds the transmission end of the shifter cable in place. That small bracket had become rusted. Only a light push (by hand from underneath) was needed to put the cable into park. A quick harness made of polyethylene cable ties now hods the cable more securely than that flimsy bracket ever did.

- i was the shifter linkage ( i am not sure if that is the technical term. It is the cable from the shifter to the tranny. I had it replaced when I posted this question and no problems since.)

- I was the linkage, from my shifter to the tranny. Luckily it was not a major issue. But it still cost almost 300 after parts and labor so I am not thrilled about it. Plus the dealer f'ed up my ligher output so now I can not charge my cell phone. Bottom line is they resolved my issue, but i will not take it back there again.
