NHTSA Complaint #11265800 — 2008 PONTIAC G6

I FILED A REPORT YESTERDAY AFTER MY SONS CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE IN DRIVE AFTER HE HAD BEEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE TURNING LANE ON THE CITY STREET. HE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVVED UP,BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD, ONLY REVERSE AND PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND AFTER THEY PULLED MY TRANNY, TOOK OFF THE FILTER AND PAN, THEY FOUND SOME KIND OF 4 WAY METAL TUBE THAT HAD BROKEN, AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT DRIVE FORWARD. I HAD TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION FILTER AND GASKET, THEY HAD TO DRAIN AND REPLACE THE FLUID, A TRANSMISSION TUBE ASSEMBLY, AND NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH COST ME $602.25. ALSO, MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT'S SCREWED UP. AFTER ALL THE MONEY I SPENT TODAY, I COULDN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON MY SONS CAR. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM A PRIVATE SELLER ON JULY 30, 2019 FOR MY 18 YEAR OLD SON AND WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY RECALLS UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN I HAPPENED TO LOOK UP THIS CAR AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED.
