Replacement part (cable kit # 23238001) under recall 14152 has subsequently failed and as a result has not remedied the original safety concern which states, "if the transmission shift cable fractures while the vehicle is being driven, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash. Furthermore, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, despite selecting the 'park' position, the transmission may not be in 'park.' 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." the issue is related to a failure of a retaining ring at the engine end of the cable linkage that is to securely attach to a post on the transmission. Vehicle fortunately was on level ground and stationary at the time of discovery. Vehicle would start normally but could not be put in gear due to the issue. Requested dealership to replace under the recall but dealership will not replace since it was already replaced once.
