I have a 2003 Saturn Vue with less than 79, 000 on it. We bought the Saturn new in November 2002. We have never had a re-call on the transmission. Low and behold on New Years Eve around 6PM, we lost power and could only go 10 mph. We did make it home then the following Monday had it towed to our local repair garage. He informed us the transmission was shot and that it would cost $5, 000. We also contacted a transmission shop and they told me there had been a re-call on the transmission for 8 yrs. or 100, 000 miles. Well, 8 years, I guess, is the date that you buy the car, not the 8th year that you own it. Ours expired Nov. 12th 2010. I contacted Saturn, which then contacted GMAC, and after much run around with General Motors, they will honor a 50/50 deal where as they pay for 50% of the transmission installed by one of their dealership. Being that I never received a re-call notice, which I would have taken care of right off, I felt they should pay the full price. It's not going to happen, but I needed to let off my steam. Anyway, we will have to pay $2, 094 out of pocket in order to get the transmission put in. Needless to say, I'm not happy. I intend to file a report with the Atty. General's office, Better Business Bureau and Our local paper. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
