NEWS:
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
