Details
What's wrong: These vehicles may have (1) a broken shift cable fitting or (2) loose shift linkage. Consequently, moving the shift lever to a 'park' position may not shift the transmission to 'park'.
Why it matters: The vehicle could roll increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect, and replace if necessary, the automatic transaxle range selector cable.
