Pontiac G6 Power Train Safety Report | Sept 12, 2012
Reported on Sept 12, 2012
| I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WHEN I CONTINUED TO PULL UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND TRIED TO PUT MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 INTO PARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT PARK. I COULD CONTINUOUSLY MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT BACK AND FORTH REPEATEDLY AND NONE OF THE MOVEMENT WOULD REGISTER WITH THE CAR. MY CAR WAS STUCK IN DRIVE. WHEN MY CAR SAID IT WAS IN PARK ON MY GEAR SHIFT, IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE WITH THE COMPUTER. IF I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE, SINCE I AM ON A HILL, MY CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. I THEREFORE WAS FORCED TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUT BRICKS BEHIND MY TIRES TO KEEP MY CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THE NEXT MORNING I HAD TRIED AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I DECIDED TO CALL MY CAR DEALERSHIP AND HAD ORGANIZED TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED, I EXPLAINED MY ISSUE AND HE IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG; MY CAR WAS STUCK IN DRIVE AND YOU CANNOT START A VEHICLE WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE. UNDER MY HOOD, WHERE MY CAR IS IN CONTROL OF GOING FROM DRIVE-TO-NEUTRAL-TO-REVERSE ETC. WAS DISCONNECTED AND BROKEN. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD EXPLAINED MY ISSUE ONCE MORE AND THEY TOOK IT IN AND FIXED THE ISSUE OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS. I HAVE DONE MANY HOURS OF RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN VARIOUS YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THE SHIFT CABLE WAS BROKEN FOR NO REASON. *TR | |
