  • 4 Speed AT shift cable recall on 05-08?

    I just got word on this...

    Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1.1 million model-year 2004-08 Chevrolet Malibu and model-year 2005-08 Pontiac G6 vehicles equipped with four-speed automatic transmissions. This is an expansion of an earlier recall of the 2007-08 Saturn Aura.

    The Problem: In these cars, a shift cable could wear out over time, resulting in a mismatch of the gear position indicated by the shift lever, according to GM. If the cable fractures, the driver may not be able to shift gears, remove the key from the ignition or shift the transmission into Park. The automaker is aware of 18 crashes and one injury among four-speed G6 and Malibu cars.

    The Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shift cable and attachment bracket at no charge.

      I thought these transmissions are shifted electronically without cables. Guess I was wrong.
      GM must be recall-happy these days.

        Had mine fixed just two weeks ago. My car would not shift into park without me slamming it forward. They did it as a reacall since the same part had been recalled in the Saturn. GM has known about this problem for a long time.

            GM customer service said that it's going to be on certain MY 2005-2008 and that's it.
