THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE LINKAGE SYSTEM, WHERE THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLS WHILE IN PARK. I AM HAVING THIS ISSUE AND A GRINDING SORT OF SOUND. THE VIN IS SAYING 0 UNREPAIRED RECALLS ON THE WEBSITE AND I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL IN '09. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING THERE WAS THE SOUND THAT SOMETHING WAS DRAGGING, THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK BUT WHILE IN PARK THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL ROLL. THE CAR HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SET IN PLACE AT THIS MOMENT.

SEPTEMBER 16,2014 AROUND 8:30 PM WE WERE DRIVING ON I10 WESTBOUND AND ACCELERATED TO GET IN THE MAIN LANES. THE CAR MADE THE ACCELERATED NOISE BUT WAS STUCK IN GEAR AT 4400 RPMS AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. WE PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT TO TEST THE ACCELERATION AND IT WAS HARD TO TELL DRIVING IN A SHORT DISTANCE, BUT AS SOON AS WE PULLED OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. THE NEXT TIME THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AS IF IT WOULD STOP SO WE PULLED INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND CUT THE CAR OFF. WHEN WE TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. *TR
