Consumer Description

MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION DID NOT COME OUT OF PARK AT A LARGE GAS STATION. THE CAR COULD NOT BE MOVED BUY ANY MEANS. AFTER SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO VARIOUS REPAIR SHOPS I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE INTERLOCK PIN WOULD NOT RELEASE. I WAS TOLD THAT GM DID NOT BUILD AN OVERRIDE INTO THE SHIFTER. AFTER 1 PLUS HOURS OF TRYING THE PIN FINALLY RELEASED. BY NOT PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THE PART WAS SUPERSEDED TWICE. THE PART FAILED THREE TIMES BEFORE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE CAR COULD HAVE LOCKED UP IN A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION THAN MINE. *TR
