When you put the car in reverse the lights light up on the gear shift, and will not engage. I then put the car in park and back in reverse. 2nd time I had an issue that car would not start even though it was in park, I someone try to jump it, thinking it was the battery, because I have gone through 5 batteries because of a short in the doors and also the relay for power locks. . When I put the car in nutral then the car could start and then I can drive it and 3 rd incident I parked the car, my daughter got out of the car and it went forward and she almost got hurt. I took it to my mechanic after the 2nd incident and was told it was the cable. I did research and say that gm recalled thousands of cars because of the cable defect. Saturn aura was recalled also for this issue. I contacted gm to see if they will pay for it, they said there is no recall. That I had to have gm dealer look at it, because they don't believe me. Once gm says it's the cable then they will decide if they will do a repair. Saturn Astra needs to be recalled the cable replaced.
