GM recalling vehicles
to fix shift lever problem
WASHINGTON (AP) — General Motors Corp. is
recalling about 277,000 vehicles because of
a potential defect in the shift lever that
could cause a vehicle to roll away.
GM says
the recall involves 2009 model year versions
of the Buick Enclave; Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR,
Malibu and Traverse; GMC Acadia; Pontiac G5
and G6; and the Saturn Aura and Outlook.
A GM
spokeswoman says about 75,000 vehicles have
been purchased. The rest are at dealerships.
No crashes or injuries have been reported.
In some
cases, the shift lever and the transmission
gear's position may not match, meaning a
driver could move the shifter to the park
position but the transmission gear may not
be in park.
A
vehicle could roll away and crash or have
problems restarting
