Consumer complaint concerning the 1999 Saturn Sc2 shifter assembly design defect. The consumer was pulling out of a parking lot when he lost the ability to shift gears.

The part was made of plastic or vinyl and it split apart around the entire circumference, thus allowing the cables to come off the shifter.
