Consumer Description

2003 SATURN VUE. AT 80,000 MILES TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND HAD TO GET IT REPLACED. AT 98000 MILES 8 MONTHS LATER NOTICED SPUTTERING AND TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD AT FIRST IT WAS THE IGNITION COIL AND THE SPARK PLUGS AND MODULES NEEDED REPLACED FOR 682 DOLLARS. 4 HOURS LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY FIXED IT AND IT IS NOT FIXED I NOW HAVE A BAD #1 CYLINDER AND HAVE TO GET THE WHOLE ENGINE REPLACED FOR 5400 DOLLARS. AWAITING CALL BACK FROM SATURN CORPORATE TO SEE IF THEY ARE GOING TO HELP. IT IS PRETTY SAD THAT A 5 YEAR OLD CAN NEEDS BOTH THE TRANNY BUILT AND A NEW ENGINE BEFORE 100,000 MILES. SHOULD OF KEPT MY HONDA CIVIC WITH 230,000 MILES. IT RUNS BETTER. *TR
