?OP, come back and answer the questions that your questions have raised and post a pic of the problem.
Can you provide pics of what yours look like?Same thing in my wifes car. I did a search for anyone else on the interwebs mentioning this and came up empty. The P and D are are almost off with 24,000 miles. It was purchased new in May 2018.
Oh yea it's really not that bad. I had to remove the center console to install the Acuity shift boot collar when I upgraded my shift knob. Just be sure to use a proper plastic body panel tool. I scratched some of mine with a screwdriver because I couldn't find my pry tool. Fortunately, it was the underside and you can't really see it. Ended up just going out and buying another set of tools and got everything off in like 10 mins.With some more searching found a video on YouTube showing how to remove center console (not as difficult as I thought)...

For the free?Just an update I took my car to a different dealer and they replaced the shifter buttons without an issue.
