| Consumer states transmission can be shifted from park without foot being applied to the brake. contrary to information existing in the owner's manual consumer's 2 year old child changed gear from park causing a collision that resulted in major damage to the vehicle.*ak vehicle was parked for thirty minutes before the child inserted the key and turned it to accessory and was able to shift gears. the vehicle struck several trees and two fences. the air bags didn't deploy. the police were notified but no report was filed. *ph *nm | |||
| POWER TRAIN - MANUAL TRANSMISSION - COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY | |||
| 11/25/2004 | 25000 | 1 | 08/31/2003 |
| When the vehicle's ignition is in the accessory position the transmission can be shifted into reverse, neutral, drive, etc. without the brake pedal being pressed. my 3 year old was sitting in my lap in the drivers seat in a parking lot listening to the radio in accessory mode he pulled the gear selector down into neutral and the car began to roll. thinking that this was not possible, i took the vehicle into the dealership. their reply, oh that's weird, i didn't know it would do that. no fix, just, we will look into it. *jb | |||

| 2003 gmc denali front transfer case failure. while driving on the highway i noticed a loud noise for a few seconds, then it stopped, so i drove on home and the next morning i dropped it off at my personal repair shop. to his findings it was the front transfer case. so he called the local dealership and talked to someone he knew that worked at the dealership in the parts department and they told him that the dealership had repaired several denali's with the same or similar problem just this year. *jb | |||
