button on gear shift knob

[fagaly]

Silver button (2012 Sonic) remains all the way in after putting the car in park, which makes it impossible to remove keys! My son shoved a key in and forced it out. The dealer wants $650 to replace the entire gear shift. Help. What/who could fix this for me? Have you experienced this problem?

There are multiple threads on this already. Pay $14 for new shift button and fix it yourself.
