Consumer Description

THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE HAVE COMPLETELY SNAPPED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN 4 CYL MODELS AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 6 CYL MODELS. MY CAR WILL NOT GO IN TO PARK. IT WILL NOT START. YOU CAN ACTUALLY OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND SEE THAT THE LINKAGE HAS PLAY. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I'M THANKFUL WE LIVE IN A FLAT AREA. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE WILL END UP HURT OR DEAD BECAUSE OF IT.
