  1. The brake lights had to do with the sensor that was loose which caused the shifter to not come out of park. The rack had to do with the power steering fluid leak. I am now experiencing this same problem. I took my vehicle to "Budget Brakes" here in TN in July for what I thought was a case of me only needing new pads and possibly new rotors. I ended up buying new rotors for the front and new brakes all around. Additionally, the mechanic convinced me that I needed new calibers as they were sticking. 1 week later, I was still hearing the squeaking and squealing from the vehicle that I originally brought it in for. The mechanic stated that (after a week), I'd ruined the rotor due to bad braking habits. Long story short, that didn't work and he gave me one new rotor (driver side). Since then, I've still heard a very quiet and off and on squeak, but decided that I didn't want to go back to Budget. After reading your post, I've decided that I may have to esculate this situation in some way. Currently, I don't have any brake lights coming on that I have observed, but the squeaking is still existing. In my case, I have spilled drinks in my gear stick area over the last year. As of 4 days ago, I've had a lot of trouble getting my car to shift out of park when I start the vehicle. I also noticed a difference in the gear shifting as I was driving. The gear shifting is has now gotten progressively worse as is causing me major concern. I just learned the function of my "shift override switch" which is allowing me to smoothly shift out of "park". I'm about 100 miles overdue for an oil change (of which I'll get this week), but I'm not confident that that has anything to do with my weakening acceleration. I also have the same power steering fluid leak as mentioned in the previous note. Any thoughts on any of this? Does my case sound like I need a rack or am I probably dealing with a braking, rack, transmission and engine issue? PLEASE HELP. I love this car and have only had to replace a starter 2 years ago since I've had it.
