Consumer Description

WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I GOT IN MY SATURN AND STARTED IT AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WENT ON. AS I PUT IT IN REVERSE TO PUT IT IN A PARKING SPACE, THERE WAS NO REVERSE MOVEMENT, ONLY REVING ENGINE. THE DEALER I TOOK IT TO, TOLD ME THIS WAS A "KNOWN" PROBLEM (A NUT GETS LOOSE AND FALLS OFF, INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I ALSO NEEDED A TRANSMISSION SERVICE. I WAS SUSPECIOUS AT FIRST BUT I WAS NOT CLOSE TO HOME SO I PAID THE $440.OO. TODAY I FIND THAT THERE ARE IDENTICAL AND NEARLY IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS AND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN SINCE APR 2000, ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. THIS IS SO OBVIOUS A WARRANTY SITUATION AND I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED WITH CREDIT CARD INTEREST !!!!!*AK
