Sounds like the spring (under the button) is broken !

has happened to me once actually... but it got stuck in D when i was cruisin around

went home, hit it with a hammer on the bottom and the handle came off

fixed the spring inside where it came loose, put it back on and has never messed up again

It's the spring, or another component inside. If something is broken, you can contact Late Model Resto for parts.
