Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 SATURN AURA. CAR FAILS TO ENGAGE IN PARK 75% OF THE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS HOT. DOES NOT ALLOW CAR TO AUTO-UNLOCK, NOT BE ABLE TO BE RESTARTED UNLESS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, CAUSES CAR TO ROLL UNLESS EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ENGAGED........DEALER CLAIMS SHIFTER CABLE IS CRACKED AND IS CHARGING $360 TO REPLACE.......I NOTICED A RECALL FOR ALMOST THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2009 AURA....SHOULD THIS MODEL YEAR BE INCLUDED ALSO? *TR
