NHTSA Complaint #10694010 — 2008 SATURN ASTRA

I WAS PARKED AT A SHOPPING CENTER, MY CAR WAS PARKED AND TRIED TO START THE CAR. IT WOULD NOT START AND A YOUNG MAN GAVE ME A BOOST ONLY TO STILL HAVE CAR NOT START. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK THE DISPLAY IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL SHOWED THE CAR TO BE IN REVERSE. THE NEXT INCIDENT HAPPENED AT MY PARENTS HOUSE WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF BUT STARTED ROLLING BACK. KIDS WERE GETTING OUT THE CAR SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED EMERGENCY BRAKE. ANOTHER INCIDENT HAPPENED AT WORK CAR IN PARKED POSITION AND CAR WAS STILL MOVING. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. I NOTICED ONLINE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THE SATURN AURA WITH ITS SHIFT CABLE. I CONTACTED THE GM MANUFACTURER, THEY ONLY WANT TO PAY HALF OF THE COST TO FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK TO MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. I SENT EMAILS TO AT LEAST FOUR EXECUTIVES AT GM CORPORATE OFFICE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY A GM DEALERSHIP AS THE SHIFT CABLE, THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN AURA. *TR
