A friend of mine is complaining that his 2013 LR4'S gear shift knob heats up too much on occasions. any idea what might be the reason?
He says that it has occurred on rainy days and when he has used the steering shift paddles.
after he has done driving, he turns the engine off, and goes for a cup coffee or what have you; he then returns to his car, turns the engine on and when the shifting gear knob is deployed for use, is way to hot to handle.
For a moment I thought that he was driving with the parking brake on, but he says it is not the case.
Jokingly I said: maybe it is not the car, maybe it is your hand that got too hot of holding the cup of coffee.
Any clues about this problem will be appreciated.
