The transmission cable of my car quit working. I was trying to put my car in park when picking my kids up from daycare, and the car would not shift into gear. The car would not shift into park, drive, etc. When I thought I had put the car into par, the car proceeded to roll down the hill. I had to put the emergency break on, and all a tow truck. The dealership found that the transmission cable had to be replaced. Although this is issue is part of a Chevrolet recall, my 2006 Malibu maxx is not part of the recall, and I do not understand why.
