Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 SATURN VUE 4 CYLINDER AWD WITH A VTI TRANSMISSION. I DON'T HAVE THE VIN ON ME, IT IS WITH THE CAR AT THE LOT RIGHT NOW. I HAVE NOW HAD THREE TRANSMISSIONS JUST UP AND DIE ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT DIED, I LOST REVERSE AND GOT IT TO THE DEALER BEFORE DRIVE WENT OUT. THE SECOND ONE WENT OUT ON ME AT 3 AM AND I MANAGED TO MILK IT TO SAFETY. THIS LAST ONE I WENT TO GO FROM A STOP SIGN, GOT GOING JUST ENOUGH TO GET ME INTO TRAFFIC AND IT DIED. I AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT, HOWEVER I HAVE READ A LOT OF THESE STORIES ONLINE. THIS LAST TRANSMISSION ONLY HAS ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST WAS SERVICED AT 50,000 AND DIED AT 60,000 AND THE SECOND WAS SERVICED AT 50,000 AND DIED A WEEK OR 2 LATER. *TR
