“Purchased 2010 Buick Lucerne in dec. 2009. Have the gear shift on steering column. When gear shift is in drive the total on star navigation system and 1/3 of radio cannot be seen. This is an accident waiting to happen. You have to take your eyes off the road and turn your body towards center of car to see the directions for navigation and also to see dials on radio. Wrote a letter to ceo of GM in jan. 2010. At first, they said it was my stature that I could not see navigation nor radio. (am 4' 9 ) and that if I wanted to rectify this situation, I would have to pay $800 for a different radio. …”
