Description of the problem	Gear shift cable dislodged from the gear shift arm as i was putting the car into park. Car was left in drive and rolled forward to the curb & the car simultaneously shut off and was not able to be restarted. The gear shifter in the inside console was limp and able to move from gear to gear without pressing the release button. When i opened the hood this morning, i could see the plastic eyelet that is supposed to be attached to the inside orifice of the gear shift cable broke off . I keep my parking brake on and shifted the car to drive (with the engine off) and re-attached the gear shift cable to the shift arm. I was then able to shift the car into park and re start the car. In order to make it to the dealer, the gear shift cable is duct taped to the arm so it won't bounce off and stall the car while driving. It seems the 2007, 2009, 2010 models have recalls for this same problem. When will the 2008 be recalled before it is too late? Thankfully this happened in my parking lot but if i was on the highway, the car would have lost all power, resulting in danger to myself and other motorists.
