2009 Saturn Outlook Speed Control & Cruise Problems

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE LINKAGE SYSTEM, WHERE THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLS WHILE IN PARK. I AM HAVING THIS ISSUE AND A GRINDING SORT OF SOUND. THE VIN IS SAYING 0 UNREPAIRED RECALLS ON THE WEBSITE AND I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL IN '09. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING THERE WAS THE SOUND THAT SOMETHING WAS DRAGGING, THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK BUT WHILE IN PARK THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL ROLL. THE CAR HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SET IN PLACE AT THIS MOMENT.
