Was just clearing out my change tray in my 15 cruze. And lost some coins sliding into where the automatic shifter is. No harm I hope? They put that change tray in the most inconvenient place. I was in park and bumped it losing some coins. Only easy way to get your hand in there and have room is when it's in drive, not ideal lol. I'm not too worried about it but figured I'd ask. I checked and it worked just fine, but seems that spot just lets whatever slide right in. I'd imagine too complicated to pull it apart for a few cents.
Take a look at the Bluetooth Stereo AUX link in my sig to learn how to get to those coins. I'd get them out of there as Eddy is correct - they will jam up something.
In Italy, all the toll booths took credit cards so didn't have be concerned about change. But even the Illinois toll booths don't want change, dollar bills instead. Getting to the point where change is worthless, so why do you even have it?
