I wonder if anyone has seen this problem. For one reason or another, my "new" Tahoe wouldn't start. In trying to get it on a tow truck, we discovered that we couldn't get it pulled up on the flatbed because we couldn't shift it into neutral. We couldn't shift it into neutral because apparently unless the engine is running, you can't change gears.

Has anyone ever heard of this? Is there some sort of workaround to get it into N (other than disconnecting the transmission linkage and shifting from under the vehicle by hand).

 

seems crazy and i bet tow truck drivers will hate this procedure. Dodge/jeep thought this through...they pull a shift lock release lever.

 

Having the same problem today. 1/11/25. Tahoe will not start. Cannot get it into neutral to tow. I have the truck backed into a parking spot. @Abu Farley -- did you get this resolved? Any advice? Thank you!
