Campaign:: 98V183000 on 08/16/1998
Component:: Power train:automatic transmission:park/neutral start switch
Manufactured:: 07/24/1994 - 01/20/1998
Affected:: 685,000
Defect:: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. the adjustment of the cable connecting the console shifter mechanism to the ignition key can cause a trapped key condition which can result in a low force required to depress the shift button. a combination of applying a mis-adjusted release button with a low force attempt to shift out of park with the key in the locked position, can break the connecting pin in the shifter.
Consequence:: If this happens, the "ignition-park" interlock system will be nonfunctional.
Correction:: Dealers will inspect for proper operation of the system. any vehicles that are not functional after the inspection will have the shift mechanism and cable replaced with a "self-adjusting" design.
