THE LINKAGE THAT CONTROLS THE GEAR SHIFT ALLOWED THE CAR TO ROLL WHILE THE CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN PARK. MOREOVER. THE CAR WAS IN PARK BUT WOULDN'T START. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK PUT THE CAR ON THE FLAT BED, THE CAR TRIED TO ROLL OFF EVEN THOUGH THE CAR SHIFT LEVEL WAS IN PARK. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND THE ENGINE WAS OFF. AND THE KEY WASN'T IN THE IGNITION.. THE CAR WAS REPAID TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $800.00. IT HAD TO DO WITH SOME LINKAGE THAT RUNS UNDERNEATH THE BATTERY BOX. ALSO THE CAR WOULDN'T START.

THE GEAR SHIFT IS NOT PROPERLY SHIFTING. IT GOES FROM PARK TO REVERSE ON ITS OWN. SOMETIME IT WONT REVERSE AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE. IT CLICK BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN GEARS. IVE REPLACE THE SWITCH TO SEE IF THAT WOULD WORK BUT IT DOESNT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN DO ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT IT IS THE SAME RECALL 15V606000 FOR OTHER VEHICALS OF THE SAME TYPE
