MARCH 2009 -- General Motors is recalling
276,729 MY 2009 Buick
Enclave, Chevrolet Cobalt,
HHR, Malibu, Traverse, GMC
Acadia, Pontiac G5, G6 and
Saturn Aura and Outlook
passenger vehicles. These
vehicles fail to comply with
Federal Motor Vehicles
Safety Standard 102,
"Transmission Shift Position
Sequence, Starter Interlock,
And Transmission Braking
Effect", and FMVSS 114,
"Theft Protection and
RollawayPrevention". On some
of these vehicles, the
transmission shift cable
adjustment clip may not be
fullyengaged. If the clip is
not fully engaged, the shift
lever and the actual
position of the transmission
gear may not match. With
this condition, the drive
could move the shifter to
"park" and remove the
ignition key, but the
transmission gear may not be
in "park". The driver may
not be able to restart the
vehicle and the vehicle
could roll away after the
driver has exited the
vehicle, resulting in a
possible crash without prior
warning. Dealers will
inspect and ensure that the
shift cable adjustment clip
is fully engaged. In
theevent that the clip does
not engage, the shift cable will
be replaced free of charge. The
recall is expected to begin on
or before March 24, 2009.

FEBRUARY 2009 --
GM is recalling 8,012 MY
2005-2006 Pontiac G6 vehicles.
The brake lamps may not operate
properly because of corrosion in
a wiring connector. Corrosion in
the connector could cause the
brake lamps to illuminate when
the brake pedal has not been
depressed, or the lamps may not
illuminate when the brake pedal
is depressed. In addition, the
cruise control may not engage,
and greater brake pedal force
may berequired to shift the
vehicle out of PARK. Brake lamps
that are not operating properly
may not warn a driver in a
following vehicle of the braking
status and could lead to a crash
without prior warning. Dealers
will apply a dielectric
lubricant to the connector to
prevent corrosion. This service
will be performed for you free
of charge. The recall began on
February 17, 2009. Owners may
contact Pontiac at 1-
800-620-7668 or owner center at
www.gmownercenter.com. This
recall was the subject of a
Preliminary Evaluation,
PE08-054, conducted by the
Office of Defects Investigation.

NEWS:
GM
recalling vehicles to fix shift
lever problem
WASHINGTON (AP) —
General Motors Corp. is
recalling about 277,000 vehicles
because of a potential defect in
the shift lever that could cause
a vehicle to roll away.
GM says the
recall involves 2009 model year
versions of the Buick Enclave;
Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu
and Traverse; GMC Acadia;
Pontiac G5 and G6; and the
Saturn Aura and Outlook.
A GM spokeswoman
says about 75,000 vehicles have
been purchased. The rest are at
dealerships. No crashes or
injuries have been reported.
In some cases,
the shift lever and the
transmission gear's position may
not match, meaning a driver
could move the shifter to the
park position but the
transmission gear may not be in
park.
A vehicle could
roll away and crash or have
problems restarting
