I purchased a 2008 Saturn Vue October 31, 2011 and by July 5, 2013 my transmission went out. I went to get in my car going to work and the truck would not reverse. No warranty would cover the cost.

While attempting to merge from 38th street Tacoma to I5 North accelerated from the off ramp vehicle tachometer climbed, loss of acceleration-power, transmission failure. Shifted to neutral then back to drive with no result. Almost got rear ended by I5 drivers doing 60-65 with my vehicle slowing, shifted into neutral again then back to drive for second time with no result, almost got hit a 4th time, vehicle finally responded to 4th gear in manual mode. Vehicle operated poorly for next few miles until I was able to get off the interstate. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership. There are numerous incidents of the Saturn/GM products that have a defective 35 wave plate associated with the transmission. This vehicle has been serviced regularly last service was 7 days prior to this near accident no error codes or engine lights had come on prior to this happening. Glad to see the federal govt. Can bail out a company that endangers the general public and gambles with the ideal of may it will maybe it won't break, as long as we get money. Society of automotive engineers they should have a new association society of cost benefit analysis. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Hi I have a 2008 Saturn Vue I purchased it brand new in 2008. In 2010 with about 32,000 miles the tranny was blown, they fixed it free of charge because it was still under warranty. Now that winter it here I went to put my car in manual transmission to go down a snow covered hill and the car would not down shift, it stayed in 4th. (I have not tried to downshift since the new tranny was put in, this was the first time) brought it to the shop thinking it was the tranny and they say it is the floor shifter assembly wiring and is not under warranty. Has anyone else had this issue? the car is not even 3 yrs old!
