Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a 2.9 or 3.7 liter engine and a four-speed automatic transmission for failing to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no 102, "transmission shift lever Sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect," and Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 114, "theft protection." These vehicles may have been built with an automatic transmission…

Why it matters: The driver may not be able to restart the vehicle, and the vehicle could roll away as the driver or other occupants exit the vehicle or have exited, resulting in the possibility of the vehicle striking them or someone around the vehicle, or could result in a crash without prior warning.

The fix: Gm dealers will install a new automatic transmission adjustment clip free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about July 19, 2011.
