Component: Power Train > Automatic Transmission > Park/neutral Start Switch
Manufacturer: General Motors Corp.
Description:
Vehicle description: certain passenger vehicles, equipped with automatic transaxles, fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 114, "theft protection." these vehicles were built with an improperly adjusted automatic transaxle park lock cable assembly. if improperly adjusted, it is possible to shift from the "park" position with the ignition key removed.
Consequencs:
This condition increases the risk of a crash resulting from the unintended movement of parked vehicles.
