Consumer Description

THERE IS A TERRIBLE WHOLE VEHICLE SHUDDER A LOW SPEEDS AND LOW RPM. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO "LOCK - UP TORQUE CONVERTER" MODE AT TOO LOW RPMS(ABOUT 1000 TO 1200).THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND IS VERY DISTRESSING AND DISTRACTING. YOU HAVE TO STEP DOWN HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR TO KICK THE TRANSMISSION INTO A LOWER GEAR WHICH TENDS TO MAKE THE CAR SPEED UP. THIS IS VERY DISTRESSING AND DISTRACTING AND MUST CAUSE UNDO WEAR AND TEAR ON THE DRIVETRAIN. THERE ARE MANY SATURN VUE (2004) OWNERS NATION WIDE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS AND THE WHEEL BEARING AND BRAKE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE NATION WIDE RECALLS. NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE BUYING IMPORTS AT AN INCREDIBLE RATE. *TR
