AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAN RESULT IN VEHICLE ROLLING BACKWARDS FOR 3-5 SECONDS IN DURATION AFTER RELEASING BRAKE WHILE. WHILE ON FLAT GROUND - THIS CAUSES DANGER TO OTHER DRIVER AS THE EXPECT OTHER VEHICLES TO BE MOVING AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. WHILE ON AN INCLINE - THIS CONDITION MAY POSE A DANGER TO PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER MOTORISTS AS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS A GREAT DISTANCE. THE DISTANCE AND SPEED OF TRAVEL BACKWARDS WILL VARY BASED ON ANGLE OF INCLINE OF STREET OR ROAD. WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS - THE DRIVER IS COMPLETELY UNAWARE AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE IN ENOUGH TIME TO PREVENT COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS WHEN: 1 - TRANSMISSION IS HOT (ABOUT 40 MIN DRIVE TIME) 2 - BRAKE IS DEPRESSED FOR LONGER THAN 3 SECONDS WHILE SITTING AT LIGHT. 3 - RELEASING BRAKE MAY OR MAY NOT RESULT IN THIS CONDITION HAPPENING. SERVICE 1 - THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO CODES FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 2 - MULTIPLE GM DEALERS HAVE CONFIRMED SOFTWARE OF VEHICLE IS UP TO DATE. 3 - MULTIPLE DEALERS HAVE MIXED STATEMENTS IF THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR NOT. DEALER 1 SAYS - "IT'S YOUR DRIVING HABITS. WE RESET THE COMPUTER AND IT WILL RE-LEARN HOW YOU DRIVE." DEALER 2 SAYS - "WE WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE YOUR ISSUE AND ARE AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM GM" - WHEN SPEAKING TO GM THEY INDICATED THEY NEVER RECEIVED AN EMAIL FORM THE DEALER. CONDITION WAS FIRST SEEN AT APPROXIMATELY 68K MILES AND HAS CONTINUED ON/OFF UNTIL CURRENT MILEAGE OF 98K. DEALER AND GM CORPORATE HAVE HAD VEHICLE FOR GREATER THAN 30 DAYS AND ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE RESOLUTION. AS A FIREFIGHTER - IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THIS CONDITION MAY PRESENT A RISK TO PUBLIC WELFARE.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine, and manufactured between November 28, 2012, and March 7, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.

14V092000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission
Feb 21, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
