97 Grand Prix, 3.8L high output engine,4T65E 4 speed automatic transmission, SE model 4 door. Transmission was at first hesitant to go into reverse at 100,000 miles. Around 125,000 miles the transmission has no reverse or neutral movement while pushing the car in reverse. In other words you cannot move the car in reverse at all, even with the engine off and in neutral. Shop told me I had a broken reverse shift fork. Transmission service center advised that the car's used value does not warrant the repair cost or purchase of new equipment.

I pulled into a car wash stall and shut my car off to wash it. After washing it I got back in my car and tried to put it in gear, but the shifter would not move. Thank god I had my cell phone, I had to call my husband out of work to come check out the car. He concluded that I have to stick a ink pen in the shift release hole to put it in gear. I had our three month old with me and it was cold that day, it would not have been nice if I would have had to walk with the baby. Anyway I have put it in the shop to get it checked and they do not know the problem. I was told it may cost me a lot of money to get it fixed by the time they find the problem. This is a severe safety problem to me. What if this happens to someone else with small children and they do have to walk. I also know from calling around to part stores that this has happened to at least 6 others just in the muskegon area, that should call for a recall in itself.

Transmission exploded for the second time and GM says they can't help me. I have done some research on this and it seems to be a common problem in these vehicles.

After the engine was turned off, the consumer was unable to remove the key from the ignition. The consumer was unable to remove the key without pushing the button in the steering column, and could not shift from park without pushing the shift release button. The dealer did not find what was exactly wrong but said it was an electrical problem. (poor connection at splicer in the middle of the dash)

This car has a significant # of safety problems that the dealer/manufacturer have refused to address w/out significant cost to consumer. Until I sustain a significant injury &/or injure someone due to these product defects, I can not afford a legal challenge to have GM address problems, nor can I bear cost. My car is available as a sample of their junk! (signed;claims adjuster). No safety defect listed in summary.
