MARCH 2009 --
General Motors is recalling
276,729 MY 2009 Buick
Enclave, Chevrolet Cobalt,
HHR, Malibu, Traverse, GMC
Acadia, Pontiac G5, G6 and
Saturn Aura and Outlook
passenger vehicles. These
vehicles fail to comply with
Federal Motor Vehicles
Safety Standard 102,
"Transmission Shift Position
Sequence, Starter Interlock,
And Transmission Braking
Effect", and FMVSS 114,
"Theft Protection and
RollawayPrevention". On some
of these vehicles, the
transmission shift cable
adjustment clip may not be
fullyengaged. If the clip is
not fully engaged, the shift
lever and the actual
position of the transmission
gear may not match. With
this condition, the drive
could move the shifter to
"park" and remove the
ignition key, but the
transmission gear may not be
in "park". The driver may
not be able to restart the
vehicle and the vehicle
could roll away after the
driver has exited the
vehicle, resulting in a
possible crash without prior
warning. Dealers will
inspect and ensure that the
shift cable adjustment clip
is fully engaged. In
theevent that the clip does
not engage, the shift cable will be replaced
free of charge. The recall is expected to
begin on or before March 24, 2009.

NEWS:
GM recalling vehicles
to fix shift lever problem
WASHINGTON (AP) — General Motors Corp. is
recalling about 277,000 vehicles because of
a potential defect in the shift lever that
could cause a vehicle to roll away.
GM says
the recall involves 2009 model year versions
of the Buick Enclave; Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR,
Malibu and Traverse; GMC Acadia; Pontiac G5
and G6; and the Saturn Aura and Outlook.
A GM
spokeswoman says about 75,000 vehicles have
been purchased. The rest are at dealerships.
No crashes or injuries have been reported.
In some
cases, the shift lever and the transmission

driver could move the shifter to the park
position but the transmission gear may not
be in park.
A
vehicle could roll away and crash or have
problems restarting
