“When it snows my driveway is on a hill and my car is in park it rolls backwards down the hill and ill look outside to find it moved from were I left it. Now for the last few weeks if I park at the store, school,job and get ready to go try to shift the car on drive when I step on the brake to shift it I hear and feel click sound and cant move the gear.”

“2008 Saturn VUE this is the 3rd time im writing a complaint I havent heard anything back no call no letter from anyone at the recall. But my truck in the winter it has trouble going up a low hill while driving it and when its sitting on a hill parked ill look outside and find it sitting at the bottom of the hill. When its parked and I try to shift the gear to drive to go the stick locks up and it wouldnt move. And when driving on a street with not much snow I can feel the back of the car slide. If I dont hear anything back I will be going to the news for help.”

“I had been out to lunch and was pulling into a parking place in my workplace parking lot. I eased into the parking space and nudged the gas to get completely in the space. When I nudged the gas, my car accelerated on its own with such a force the car went over a concrete barrier in the parking space and I then hit a brick and concrete wall that was knocked down. An iron railing was on top of the concrete and that got smashed as well. My car was moving at such a fast and furious speed I had no control over it. As a result, my car was totaled due to the repairs that were necessary. …”
