The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 112,000. The VIN was not available. Remailed 08/20/14
My 2008 Toyota Prius will not stay in D when shifting or R it pops back into N it does it on hot days. Need to replace the gear shift lever assembly. When its hot outside it binds up and goes back into N while shifting or driving. Has happened 2 times so far in the last week. In order to drive the vehicle you have to hold the lever in R or D to go anywhere.
