Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GO INTO PARK. WHEN PLACED IN PARK IT ROLLS FOWARD OR BACKWARD AND I MUST USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND REMOVE THE KEY. IT ONLY ALLOWS ME TO START MY CAR IN NEUTRAL. IT HAS SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL AS I AM DRIVING. THERE HAS BEEN OVER 421, 000 OF THESE RECALLED BUT I AM BEING TOLD MINE IS NOT ON THE LIST AND I MUST PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF POCKET FROM FALICIA, THE DISTRICT SPECIALIST FOR SATURN. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHO WOULD THE BLAME BE ON IF MY CAR WERE TO ROLL INTO ANOTHER CAR OR BUILDING? I WANT AND NEED TO GET THIS FIXES ASAP BUT DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY FOR OT AND DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WHEN ALL THE OTHERS WERE FIXED FOR FREE DUE TO IT BEING A DEFECT. *TR
