Did they put a light bulb in the '09? I can't even read mine. I just feel through the gears.

Nope. No light. I have to feel throught mine to. They should have at least put a light in there or put the readout in the gauge area.

Yes, if you purchased new or your state allows them access to vehicle records, or you can give me the last 8 of your VIN and I can tell you if yours is involved.

My 08 has a lighted PRNDML dial face and the shifter just blacks out the gear indicator I am in.

I can see what gear I am in with out a lighted needle?

2009 HHR Recall

Important GM Recall Alert: 277K Vehicles To Be Checked For Transmission Park Problem



Source: Automotive News Email Alert

Harry Stoffer - Automotive News - March 13, 2009 - 10:32 am ET

WASHINGTON -- General Motors is recalling 277,000 vehicles built for the 2009 model year to fix a defect that can cause a parked car or truck to roll away.

A loose clip on the transmission shift cable can cause a driver to move the shift lever to park without putting the transmission into park, according to a notice posted today on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Dealers are to inspect the transmission shift cable, and if the clip is not engaged, the dealers are to replace the cable, a GM report to NHTSA said.

Affected models are the Buick Enclave; Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Malibu and Traverse; GMC Acadia; Pontiac G5 and G6; and Saturn Aura and Outlook.

From the AP report:

"GM spokeswoman Carolyn Markey said about 75,000 of the recalled vehicles had been purchased and the remainder were still at dealerships. Markey said dealers were inspecting the vehicles to see if they had any problems."
