NHTSA Complaint #10272555 — 2001 SATURN LS

I OWN AN 2001 SATURN L-33, WITH 38,280 MILES. ON TWO OCCASIONS THE SERVICE LIGHT (NOT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT HARSHLY. ON 04-30- 2009, I HAD STARTED THE CAR, WHICH HAD NO BEEN USED THAT DAY, I WAS SITTING SOMEWHAT SIDEWAYS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT TALKING TO MY FATHER, WHEN THE AUTO WHEN THE AUTO WENT INTO REVERSE BY ITSELF, AND DRAGGED ME ACROSS THE STREET, HITTING A BLOCK WALL. I GOT UP AND INTO THE AUTO, AND NOTICED THE SHIFT LEVER WAS STILL IN "PARK". I FOUND A WEBSIGHT "THE SATURN FORUM" WHEREIN OTHER SATURN L-300 OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE LIGHT COMING ON ETC. AS FAR AS I KNOW, SATURN HAS NOT SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN, OR RE-CALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE DUE TO "PINCHED" WIRING GOING TO THE "TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. I AM HESITANT IN TAKING THE AUTO TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AS I WAS INJURED, AND I MIGHT RE-TAIN LEGAL COUNCIL IN THIS MATTER. I THINK SATURN SHOULD BE NOTIFYING PEOPLE OF THE POSSIBLE HAZARD INVOLVED IN THIS AUTO. *TR
