Consumer Description

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT TO PARK AFTER STARTING ENGINE AND ENGAGING THE BRAKE. TRIED RESTARTING AND SHIFTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE SEVERAL TIMES AND IT FINALLY WENT INTO REVERSE AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES OF TRYING. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE. AFTER READING NEWS AND FORUM ARTICLES, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMONLY KNOWN PROBLEM, WITH THE ONLY FIX BEING TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. GM DOES NOT HOWEVER WANT TO ADDRESS THIS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM.
