NHTSA Complaint #10446285 — 2007 SATURN AURA

I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND SHUT IT OFF, I WENT TO GET IN THIS MORNING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START AS IF IT WAS IN DRIVE STILL, I SHIFTED IT BACK AND FOURTH AND THEN FINALLY GOT IT TO START, I PUT IT IN REVERSE TO BACK UP BUT IT ACCELERATED FORWARD. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO BUT IT DID NOT OUTLINE THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM, AFTER TALKING TO GM THEY WILL BE TOWING MY VEHICLE 60 MILES AWAY TO THE NEAREST DEALER THAT CAN WORK ON THIS PROBLEM. BUT THE ISSUE IS THAT IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE ENTIRE ISSUE I WOULD HAVE WANTED IT FIXED SOONER AS THIS IS A SCARY THING TO GO THROUGH ESPECIALLY SINCE IT STOPPED ABOUT 4 FEET FROM GOING OVER THE BANK. BUT THE LETTER FROM GM SAID NOT TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU START HAVING PROBLEMS, WELL THE BIG PROBLEM WASN'T THE ISSUE THE BIG PROBLEM WAS WHAT COULD HAPPEN AFTER THE ISSUE, I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE INFORMED US OF SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THEY MADE IT LIKE IT WAS HARD TO SELECT GEARS, NOT LIKE YOU WOULD DRIVE WHEN TRYING TO REVERSE OR BEING IN PARK. *KB
