Shifter cable broke. Shifter was occasionaly difficult to shift out of park when car was new, took it to dealer and because the problem didn't demonstrate itself when the dealer had it, they didn't do anything to remedy. 4 years later (when warranty is out), the cable snaps. The mechanic calls in to order the new cable and there are plenty in stock, I'm told it's a very common problem. If so, why isn't it a recall?
