I've been having repeated stuck pin problems also. Seems like there are 2 causes: 1) Legit system-related locking (resolved with the charge button/keyfob unlock solution) and 2) Sticky solenoid locking pin (resolved with the angled wire/pin push back solution). I decided on a PERMANENT...

The 90° pick solution worked great - thanks! I had all of the same symptoms listed here for my 2015: 1) You need a stiff wire, 6" long with a 90° bend and a 1" long tip - 7" of wire total. The Home Depot pics could work or you could make one out of coat hanger wire. 2) The silver metal...
