POOR DESIGN AND LACK OF CLAMPING OF THE SHIFT CABLE ASSEMBLY HAS CAUSED THE SHIFT CABLE TO RUB AGAINST THE SUCTION LINE, ALSO CREATING A HOLE WHICH HAS RELEASED THE R12 TO LEAK INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. THERE ARE ALSO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED THE A/C SYSTEM TO BECOME INOPERATIVE AND HAS ALSO MADE THE SHIFT CABLE TO WEAKEN. ALTHOUGH THIS AUTOMOBILE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE (GM) BUICK'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AT THE COMPANY'S / MANUFACTURER'S COST.
