Consumer Description

REPLACED DEFECTIVE SHIFTER CONTROL CABLE. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY CAVALIER, 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, MILEAGE: 40,850.I AM THE ORIGNIAL OWNER, PURCHASED IT NEW FROM CHEVROLET. I BECAME AWARE OF THE DEFECT WHEN I CAME OUT OF WORK AND WENT TO MY PARKED CAR, STARTED THE CAR, AND WHEN I SHIFTED MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. NONE OF THE GEARS WERE WORKING. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND WAIT OVER TWO HOURS AND HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALER 10 MILES AWAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. IT COST ME OVER $400.00 TO GET IT REPAIRED BY THE CHEVROLET DEALER. I ASKED CHEVROLET IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER CONTROL CABLE AND HE SAID THERE WAS NONE THAT HE KNEW OF. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SOME INFORMATION ON THE SHIFTER CONTROL CABLE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEM WITH THE SAME TYPE CAR. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GENERAL MOTORS - CHEVROLET DIVISION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE. I COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD OR PARKED ON A HILL WHICH MIGHT HAVE CAUSED HARM TO ME OR ANY OTHER DRIVER OF MY CAR. *TT
