2008 Hhr-Chevrolet. Manual transmission. Driving down the road and the top half of the gear shift knob came off and fell into the drivers side floor and under the brake pedal. I was just extremely lucky it was early in the morning and I was in the right hand lane where I could down shift to slow down and pull over to the side of the road to remove the top of the knob. When I called the dealer to bring it in he said there was somebody standing right in front of him with the same problem.
