Hi all -
A newbie Leaf owner here. We recently purchased a 2019 SL plus with 23k miles on it. Earlier this week, the Leaf got stuck in parking gear with the dashboard/console giving the warning "When Parked Apply Parking Brake". Initial google search indicated it is sometimes caused by a low 12V battery. The rest of the dashboard, battery, all would turn on as expected but we could not get the car get into Reverse, Neutral or Drive. After towing to the dealer and having it checked, we were told the "Shifter Control Module" needs to be replaced. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Additional search hasn't given a lot of hits on what would cause the shifter control module failure in a fairly new car.
We are trying to determine if this is a bad part or a sign of larger issues in the car. Is this an issue specific to EVs and Leaf? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks, APK
