vehicle is hard to shift out of park.took car to the dealer, was told that shift lock cable needed to be replaced. Cable was replaced;car still has a hard time in the morning or when cold, when shifting out of park. Have taken car back to dealer, they can’t seem to find anything wrong. I have also replaced the battery. Any advice? thank you
