AFTER DRIVING THE CAR TO SCHOOL MY DAUGHTER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE CAR AND WAS ALSO UNABLE TO SHIFT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR LOCAL GARAGE AND RECEIVED A CALL THIS MORNING THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKE. THE TOTAL PRICE FOR REPAIR IS 360.00 I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A SIMILAR GM VEHICLE FOR THE SHIFT CABLE BREAKING AND A RECALL ISSUED IN THE CADILLAC VEHICLE. THE RECALL CLAIMED THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT IN OR OUT OF GEAR. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WE EXPERIENCED WITH OUR LUCERNE. I'M THINKING THE LUCERNE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THANK YOU FOR CHECKING. *TR

MY DAUGHTER DROVE THE CAR TO SCHOOL AND WHEN SCHOOL WAS OUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. MY HUSBAND CAME AND TRIED TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR BUT ALSO HAD NO LUCK.

TOTAL COST FOR DEALER PARTS AND TOWING, INSTALLATION AND LABOR IS $ 360.00. *TR

DRIVING WESTBOUND ON ILLINOIS RT-7 TOWARDS LOCKPORT, ILLINOIS WHEN VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND INTO ONCOMING LANE NEARLY CAUSING A HEAD-ON COLLISION. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT STRUTS RUSTED THROUGH AT THE MOUNTING FLANGES WHEREBY THE FRONT SUSPENSION COLLAPSED FALLING DOWN ON THE LEFT FRONT TIRE DESTROYING THE NEW MICHELIN TIRE THROWING THE CAR OUT OF CONTROL AND INTO THE ONCOMING LANE. THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT WITH LITTLE TO NO RUST ANYWHERE BUT ON THE STRUTS. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIRS AS THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY! I HAVE OWNED OTHER CARS FOR THIRTY YEARS WITH A LOT MORE MILES AND NEVER HAD SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF A SUSPENSION SYSTEM. EVEN OLD PICK-UP TRUCKS LAST A LOT LONGER. THIS DEFECT IS SURE TO CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. PICTURES ARE AVAILABLE SHOWING THE DEFECTIVE STRUTS. *TR
