NHTSA Complaint #10475746 — 2006 CADILLAC CTS

THIS 2006 CADILLAC CTS IS A 6 PSPD MANUAL TRANSMISSION, ALL OTHER GEARS WORK EXCEPT REVERSE. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 20,100 MILES WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF USING A VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD BY THE AUTO DEPT AT GM ON MAUI THEY WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE PROBLEM WAS THE WEAR AND TEAR IN THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE CHANGED. A MONTH LATER I ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS FIXED BY THE SAME AUTO DEPARTMENT AND WAS INFORMED THEY DON'T HAVE A COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THE PARTS (PART NO 1526075) AND THEY CANNOT FIND THIS PART ANYWHERE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE SHIFT ASSEMBLY PART AND FEEL GM SHOULD HAVE THIS SHIFT ASSEMBLY PART RECALLED. CHECKS MADE ON THE WEB REVEALED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON "CADILLAC.COM" AND ?AUTOPARTSFAIR.COM?. *TR
