My mechanic showed me the button to get it out of park this am with a pen. The car had been running and shifting great. Just the 2 lights came on and I turned the car off to simply restart to make them go away. I had done this once before and it worked. This time it did not. Just left me stranded. The car would not crank, click or anything. Just nothing. I diconnected the battery for a while hoping it would resolve itself to no avail. As far as I know I have not spilled any drinks in the shifter gate. My mechanic explained to me the sluggish throttle response was due to the ESP flashing. The ESP was trying to do its job by killing the power. No news of diagnosis from them yet. Thanks guys!
