The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the power train automatic transmission. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect", and FMVSS No. 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention." The vehicles may have been built with a fractured park lock cable or a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly.

WHY IT MATTERS

As a result, the vehicle may shift from Park with the ignition key removed or the ignition key in the OFF position. The vehicle may also shift out of Park without application of the brake pedal while the key is off.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and replace the steering column as necessary, free of charge.
