Description of the problem | There was recall on this car for transmission cable that caused may have caused the shifter to not properly stay in gear. My car did not have this issue, but the recall was fixed anyways. A year and half after recall was fixed the problem actually happened despite so called being "fixed". I called gm to report this and they stated they could only do something a year after the recall so i am 6 months out of this. Either their fix didn't work or their fixed caused the problem. Either way my car is now completely inoperable and i'm being forced to fix this out of pocket. I'm hoping you can possibly help get gm to actually fix this problem as it has been documented. I can get the copies of recall and it actually being fixed if necessary. How the problem happened: car was parked in park position at a parking lot. Once started, and foot applied to brake pedal, transmission shifter would freely move instead of shifting properly. It would not come out of park. The vehicle had to be towed as it would not be allowed to remain parked. Thank you. The car is 2007 pontiac g6 [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
