Dropped the car off at 12:00 noon on 07/23/15 for safety recalls (13036) and (14152) mickey said the car was ready my son and I picked it up, he drove home, loaded up, and made it to waco, TX. My son called me and said he could not put it in park or get the key out. I borrowed my neighbors trailer drove to waco it was dark so I just loaded up the car strapped it down and drove home mickey had called and said that the technician thought at first he started to say misplaced but then changed it to, left a clip out and to bring the car back but not to worry it would be safe to drive when I opened the hood in the morning to my surprise I found the clip tool that the technician left on top of the trans-axle wedged tightly between the shift cam and transaxle assembly I can tolerate ineptness but I can't tolerate being lied to if the clip was a problem that is the part that affects the recall in the first place, unsafe! if mickey was covering up for the technician's mistake of leaving the tool he used under the hood, at my son's expense that won¿t be tolerated I will take the car to capital Chevrolet Tuesday morning to check for any damage. Also the under panel was not secured correctly and a nut left out. I won't be answering the phone please make all correspondence by e-mail. On 07/28/15 at 9:00 I took the car over to capitol Chevrolet 6200 ih 35 austin, TX 78745 to inspect and check for damage after the tool left in the engine compartment was removed from the transaxle assembly the technician terry hamilton said there was no apparent damage but that the cable should of been connected by a clip not a worm gear clamp due to the chance of over tighten that could damage the cable assembly if the clip was truly forgotten did the gear clamp install itself? I sent an e-mail to chance covert (general manager) informing him of my experience.

I have a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, it is a 2. 4l 4-cylinder and 4-spd automatic. For a few months now my shifter has felt kind of loose when I am shifting from park to neutral or reverse, and the other day I pulled into my fathers drive way with the car and went to put it into park and I shut the car off and took my foot off the brake, the car did not engage park gear and rolled forward into my fathers car. The car would not start in park, only neutral, and I had to use the parking brake to keep the car from rolling. I took the car to the dealership and found out that it was the shift cable, and it cost me $365 to get it fixed. But then the next day I found out that gm had issued a safety recall 09041 on several models including the 2009 Malibu that cover the exact same thing that I experienced. I feel the 2008 Malibu should be included in this recall as well.
