GM Issues Recall On Nearly 277,000 New Vehicles

by Heather

General Motors recently announced a recall on 276,729 new cars and light trucks. The company says that a glitch in the transmission could enable the vehicle to roll away when placed in park.

GM said that the shift lever and transmission gear’s position may not match up, causing the vehicle to be put into the wrong gear, even though it says it’s the right gear.

Affected vehicles are all 2009 model year Buick Enclave; Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu and Traverse; Pontiac G5 and G6; Saturn Aura and Outlook and GMC Acadia.

Only 75,000 of the potentially malfunctioning vehicles have been delivered to customers and the rest are on dealers lots. No injuries have been reported in connection with the recall.
