General Motors recalls 426,00 sedans for transmission problem

If that happens,”the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. The driver would be able to move the shifter to ‘park’ and remove the ignition key,but the transmission gear may not be in ‘park’,” GM said.

That could lead to the vehicle rolling away and crashing after the driver has exited the car,the automaker said.

The recall affects 2007-2010 Saturn Auras and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibus and Pontiac G6s that come with 4-speed automatic transmission.

GM said it will repair or replace the shift cables for free.
