Default Strange thing happen - 2 mph

Hi everyone, i've done some research but can't find anything similar to my problem.
First, i backed up in my nephew's car. I really did. Only going about 2 mph or less, there's no body damage on either car, even no scratches.

After listening my wife laughing at me... i pull foward and stopped the Vette (C5 - 98 - A4). Trans shifted in park correctly but the key did not came back to off position. So i cannot pull it out.

I dismantle the shifter and found that the small cable controlling the function wasn't returned properly at his place. Shake it a bit and it was then OK. Put everything back in place and start the car. What a mess !!!

I've got the ''service power steering'' message, battery (3 months old) charge at 13.3 V, used to be 14.1 V and althoug running fine in idle, rev ok in Park, it stalls as soon as i touch the go pedal when transmission engaged...

What could it be ?????

I'm confuse.

No such message. Do you mean "service column lock"?

Ouppss !
Bad translation, DIC was in French, it is indeed ''Service colomn lock'' and ''pull the key and wait 10 sec.''

I think i'll do a new search with that in mind...

Anyway, french is fun, espacially when you kiss...

By the way, i have no steering lock. Either the recall has been done before or there's a CLB installed. I don't know.
Tomorrow i'll fully charged the battery, just in case.
