The contact owns a 2001 Saturn lw300 series. The trans axle shift cable cable slipped out of its bracket and the trans axle lever would not function properly. When the vehicle was in park the trans axle caused it to remain in neutral mode which made it impossible to drive the vehicle. The contact attempted to place her feet on the brake pedal and turn the vehicle off; however, it continued to indicate that it was in neutral instead of park. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer informed the contact that her VIN was not a part of recall #00v344000, power train: automatic transmission: gear position indication (prndl) and that the repair cost was $560. A complaint was also filed with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 54,101.

: the contact stated recall letter #05v245000 concerning the brake lights was received in December 2005. However, the vehicle was not experiencing any problems and was not taken to the dealer for immediate repair. Recently, the contact was alerted by another driver that the brake lights were not working. The vehicle was driven to the dealer for inspection, and the dealer installed two tail lights, reinforced socket adapters and sockets under the recall. Also, the dealer determined the brake light switch needed to be replaced, but this work has not been completed. When the vehicle was taken from the dealer, the cruise control no longer worked, the gear shift became difficult to shift into drive, and the parking lights and brake lights no longer worked. The dealer informed the contact these items failed as a result of the need to replace the brake light switch. Updated 05/30/06.
