As with everything else, Government Motors is no improvement over the private
sector GM, which also produced junk. But at least the unions are happy and will vote for the Democrats. That’s what counts.

They should borrow some money from the UAW to fix this.

“Gear shift”?? What’s that? Sounds like ancient history to me.

You don’t need no stinkin’ warranty.

GM will repair the condition in which the transmission gear position may not match the gear on the shifter. ...................................... LOL, “Look for the union label” la, la, la, .

The real problem is that accountants and marketing run the auto companies. When an engineer in Ford’s driveline engineering told me marketing determined GVWs for trucks, it was a big surprise. It took him about two weeks to find that out.

Didn’t they try to kill Toyota a few years back because they had some recalls? I’d say - destroy Government Motors for this - make an example of them!

Until repairs are made to your car GM is recommending the use of a 4x4 block of wood behind the rear wheel.

Am I the only driver in the world who uses the parking brake?

I figured maybe the gear shifts were just imitating the company and would only go in REVERSE!

It’s Obama Motors cars. They only have a “down low” gear.
