2009 SATURN AURA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE RECALL NOTICE AND SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON DECEMBER 3, 2012, HE ATTEMPTED TO PARK THE VEHICLE. WHEN HE SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. HE QUICKLY APPLIED THE BRAKE. HE TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, BUT IT WOULDN'T START, EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFT LEVER WAS SET TO PARK. HE LET HIS FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AGAIN, AND IT STILL ROLLED BACKWARDS, SO, HE QUICKLY APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AT A COST OF $ 554.90. THE CONSUMER THEN DISCOVERED GM ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR HIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. WHEN THE CONSUMER CONTACTED GM, HE WAS INFORMED HIS VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL # 12V46000 AND HE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AS HIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE DATES LISTED. *JB

SEATS
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 SATURN AURA WITH POWER DRIVER SEATS. THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS JUST ABOUT HALF WAY ELEVATED AND WHILE DROPPING A FRIEND OFF GOING UP-HILL ON A WINDY ROAD - I BEGAN TO FEEL THE DRIVERS SEAT MOVING IN THE MOTION OF THE TURN. AFTER A COUPLE OTHER OCCASIONS IT BECAME AN ISSUE AS THE DRIVERS SEAT FELT CROOKED WHILE DRIVING AND MORE PRONOUNCED THAT IT AFFECTED DRIVING AS THE SEAT MOVED EVEN MORE AS THE DAYS PROGRESSED AND DANGEROUS AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO TURN INTO SOMETHING MORE-SO OR ACCELERATE WITHOUT CAUSE; DUE TO THE IMBALANCE IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. ONE REMEDY TO THIS SITUATION IS THE FULLY LOWER THE SEAT SO THAT THE BRACKETS ARE AT IT'S LOWEST POSITION. ALTHOUGH I DON'T PREFER TO BE THAT CLOSE AS THE DRIVERS SEAT IS NORMALLY A LITTLE HIGHER IT DOES CAUSE INCONVENIENCE. NOT ONLY TO ME, BUT OTHER DRIVERS THAT USE THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER REASON WHY IT'S AT IT'S LOWEST POSITION IS TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE SEAT AND IT'S COMPONENTS. THE INTEGRITY OF THE SEAT IS ALREADY COMPROMISED AND WOULD HATE TO RAISE THE SEAT IN FEAR OF A COLLISION DUE TO THE FRAME OR FULL FAILURE OF THE SEAT ITSELF. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INVESTIGATION TO THIS MATTER AS I FEEL IT'S NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND WOULD HOPE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD ASSIST IN GETTING NOT ONLY MY SEAT REPAIRED, BUT OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
