Default Shift **** sticking safety issue

I am having serious problems with my 2013 1.4L Auto Chevy Sonic. The shift **** button is sticking. I cannot remove the key from the vehicle. More importantly the car is never fully in park. This is a major safety issue. I took it to GM like i was told to by customer care.

My car is at 36k miles, apparently out of warranty?

I dropped it off today, suppose to get it back in a week. I asked the technician if this was a safety issue. The technician said, " Agrees its a safety issue, but cannot act upon it because its not a recalled vehicle."

Why hasn't this been recalled?

I have a video to show proof that in fact the car can be in park but VERY easily "bumped" or moved into reverse or drive.

This is very dangerous.

Thanks. Just wanted to let everyone know about this. Seeing how this occured more than 1 time.

Update 7-9-14. Was charged by Chevrolet 150$ to look at the vehicle. The tehcnian stated it would cost 650$ to fix. I was given back the dangerous car and now having my local mechanic take a look at it.. A car this new shouldn't have this problem. I didn't expect Chevy to handle it in this way.
