| Purchased vehicle in apr 05 from friends. without the key in the ignition, the button can be pressed and the shift lever moved. while running, the button can be pressed and the shift lever moved without having to put foot on the brake pedal. vehicle brought in to dealer and recall c45 alleged to be completed 10-25-05. due to my children now use the car, a return was made to a dealer 12-01-09 for recall. invoice states reinspect recall #c45. while waiting, service advisor appeared to discuss recall and state that i needed to replace the interlock cable. invoice stated did recall c45 replace shifter rod, need to replace interlock cable, $227.00. so it appears after doing another shifter rod, maybe the recall should be for the interlock cable as in another complaint # 10126915. though i said this was a recall and a safety issue, he repeated i'd have to pay for the interlock cable. about to leave, a long spring was found on drivers floor area. service advisor was shown same and said a new one was put in, hopefully with a new shifter rod, though maybe that's the wrong fix for this safety defect. *tr | |||
