Power train: automatic transmission: gear position indication (PRNDL)
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles. Some of these vehicles were assembled with the transaxle shift cable clip missing or improperly seated.

The driver may put the shift lever in park, but the transaxle may be in reverse or neutral.
- Risk
- Unexpected movement of the vehicle could cause a crash without prior warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the transaxle shift cable retainer clip to verify proper installation and, if necessary, replace the clip and adjust the cable to specifications.
