Gear shift stick/knob issue

[photon]

HI,
Could the heat and humidity affect the gear shift stick/knob? When shifting from Park to Reverse the gear shift would make a clicking noise and slightly moved up from where I released it. I have had this car since November and have driven 3,150 miles. This just started Tuesday night while parking the car after coming home from work. It only happened once. Then on Wednesday it happened again when leaving work but it didn't happen when parking the car at home. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I am not sure if this is related but in the last few days the electronic steering has become a little noisey(electronic whinning sounds). I am also getting a similar whinning sound when I have my foot on the gas pedal at slow speed. This has all happened in the last few days. Hoping it is just heat and humidity related. I will be getting an oil change next week so I will mention this to my dealer. Thanks.

I can't say I have the same issues, and I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. All I can do is wish you the best of luck at the dealer.

Your concern is certainly understandable regarding your Sonic. As you are taking into the dealership, please keep me informed how it goes if you have any further concerns. Thank you for your time and I hope your weekend goes well.

When I shift into 2nd, 4th and 6th, there is a "cllick" sound. If I do it gently, there is no sound, but with an average to quick throw, the click is very evident. Other than a slight annoyance with the sound, which I'm sure I'll get used to, I haven't noticed any other issues.
