Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE FAILED WHILE IN A PUBLIC STREET, AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO MOVE IN REVERSE (IT COULD NOT BE PLACED IN PARK). DURING AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHANGE ON THE SATURN AURA THE SHIFT CABLE BROKE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STUCK IN THE EXISTING GEAR (REVERSE), UNABLE TO BE PLACED IN PARK OR CHANGED FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD. THIS HAS THE IDENTICAL RESULTS AS RECALL "NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V224000" AND "NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V460000". THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAD THE RECALL WORK FOR 12V460000 COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, AND AFTER CONTACTING GM WAS STATED TO NOT BE AFFECTED BY 14V224000. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT ALL SATURN AURA'S SHIFT CABLES ARE FAULTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
