I believe the shift selector was part of a recall, more for not fully selecting park than anything to do with reverse. Probably worth checking your VIN on the GM site to see if the recall is outstanding.
G6 Won't Go Into Reverse?
I have a 2010 Pontiac G6 with the 2.4L. Today I went to leave for work and I turned the car on and shifted into reverse, let off the brake and nothing happened, the car would not move even hitting the gas a bit it was like it was still in park. I turned off the car and back on, and then it finally went into reverse but with a strong clunk and hard shift. I could freely move the shifter through the gears.
My driveway has a very slight incline, I noticed since moving here I need to put on my e-brake when I park to help with the rough shift into reverse. Outside of making sure I put my e-brake on when I park is there anything else I can do to make prevent this from happening again?
Could this be a shifter cable issue or something else?

I checked my VIN and not showing any open recalls for mine on the shift selector. Any ideas what I should check? This happened again.
If you have access to a scan tool that supports the transmission control module, it should indicate the electrical selection. i.e. Is the transmission selector registering / commanding reverse? if the selection is wrong, you have a good idea that the selector itself is the issue. If the TCM is correctly seeing that reverse has been selected, but you get no reverse motion, then I guess you are looking at more of an electromechanical issue with the solenoids. This is a service article showing possible problem areas.
Hope you can get it going again.
