Hello, My 2005 XC70 gets locked in Park or Drive... I currently have the solenoid disconnected (out of the car). I also had a local mechanic remove the solenoid away from the mechanism but still plugged in lying away from the gear shift but still operating electronically. This year/model does not have a manual gear shift unlock button (why would a manufacturer even install such button). I am now driving with the console removed and gear shift exposed to see what happens the next occurrence as it is intermittent and only occurs once every several weeks/months at of course the worst times. Car is unsafe and cannot be driven by wife of kids with this going on.

(I looked at current forums and didn't find much resembling this issue and if it was there it looked stale, Thank You for any insight here, as i am new to your forum)
