Consumer Description
THE SHIFTER BUTTON/KNOB ALWAYS GETS STUCK. THIS VEHICLE HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SO IT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE PRIOR RECALL REGARDING THE SHIFTER. THE CAR RADIO TURNS ON BY ITSELF AFTER I HAVE REMOVED BY CAR KEY AND LOCKED THE DOORS. THIS HAS CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND NOW IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CHEVY DEALER SAID THAT REPLACING THE SHIFTER "MAY" CORRECT THE ISSUE WITH THE RADIO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS OF USE. I HAVE HAD MUCH OLDER CARS WITH FAR LESS ISSUES AND NEVER NEEDED TO HAVE A SHIFTER REPLACED. IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED YET. *TR
