Description of the problem	I bought the vehicle new from a dealership on 11/01/14. On 11/28/14 i wanted to drive it but it would not shift out of park into any gear. I called roadside assistance and they towed it back to the dealership. The dealership said they checked the gearshift and it shifted every time for them. They told me to pick up the vehicle, which i did. The same problem happened a second time on 01/02/15. It was again towed back to the dealership. This time the dealership technicians also could not shift the vehicle out of park. They serviced the vehicle for seven days. They called me and said they replaced a so-called interlock cable and the transmission shifter because the cable had a 'kink' and it was causing "binding". They said the vehicle was fixed and for me to pick it up, which i did. The "mileage out" was 231. Since then and up until today, 02/27/15, i have only driven it an additional 57 miles and that includes the 15 miles driven back from the dealership. I only drive it very short distances and park it in an open space that is easily accessible to a tow truck in case the problem happens again. My wife is reluctant to drive it and i don't blame her. I am concerned that the 'kinked' cable was not a random 'fluke' but, rather, that it may have been caused by the towing process with the transmission locked in park and the wheels being dragged along the ground and onto the flatbed tow truck body. I fear that the root cause of the problem remains with the automatic transmission.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
