| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Gear shift mechanisms broke apart and seperated from the steering column leaving the vehicle in park position. towed to dealer. part not available for 1 month. previously had vehicle to dealer stating there was a noise emanating form the steering column. could not find anything. am told the part is $700 + and $200+ to install. my contention is this was a faulty part. if this happened while driving, it could have deployed the air bag causing a serious accident. even the dealer has never heard of the mechanisms breaking apart as this one did. *tr |
