Consumer Description

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT THE SHIFT CABLE IN MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS! EACH TIME IT FAILED I WAS IN THE PROCESSING OF REVERSING INTO TRAFFIC AND WHEN I WHEN I SHIFTED TO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION CABLE SNAPPED AND THE VEHICLE CARRIED ON ROLLING BACKWARDS! I HAVE PAID FOR TWO REPAIRS MYSELF ONE WAS SHORTLY BEFORE THE RECALL, IT WAS FIXED AGAIN UNDER THE RECALLED AND IT WAS REPAIRED AGAIN LAST WEEK AT MY EXPENSE BY HOLLY CHEVROLET ON 2/12/18. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I'M JUST FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE HIT SOMEBODY OR HAVE SOMEBODY HIT ME! ALL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED BU HOLLY CHEVROLET ON EACH OCCASION, OF COURSE , I ALSO HAD TO PAY THE TOWING COSTS AS WELL. THE 2014 RECALL OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T WORK IF THIS HAS FAILED AGAIN. I SHOULD ADD THAT MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 73000 MILES ON IT AND I DRIVE 20 MILES A DAY ROUND TRIP.
