I WAS DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE WAS ACTING LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO SWITCHES INTO THE NEXT GEAR. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS EMPTY. FILLED IT UP AND THE NEXT DAY IT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN 2009 AND I NOW HAVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH IT. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WILL NOT GO OUT, THE ERROR STATES THE FUEL CAP IS NOT TIGHT AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TIGHTENED IT NEVER GOES AWAY. WHEN FUELING THE CAR FUEL WILL OVERFLOW IF NOT PAYING ATTENTION. ALSO THE THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED SO I AM NOT SURE WHICH POSITION THE CAR IS IN MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO LISTEN AND GAUGE IT BEFORE TRYING TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I NEVER RECEIVED AN COMMUNICATIONS THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL BUT FROM WHAT I AM SEEING FROM THE NHTSA WEBSITE THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT I AM NOW HAVING.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR NOT ILLUMINATED. GM RECALL # 05023. I CALLED GM # 866-982-2339. THEY STATED MY VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY AND HAVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER REPROGRAMED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. I CAN'T TELL WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN AND THIS IS NOT SAFE.

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND BEGAN TO COAST. THE TRANSMISSION ACTIVE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
