NHTSA Complaint #10307193 — 2004 SATURN VUE

WHILE DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2004 SATURN VUE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. ALL THE CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME QUICKLY AS NOT TO HIT US. A COP AND ANOTHER CAR STOPPED TO PHYSICALLY PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE POLICE OFFICER THEN HAD TO PUSH MY CAR TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP OFF THE HIGHWAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. AFTER THE AUTO REPAIR CHARGED ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPAIRED AND THAT GM HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THESE ENGINES.. I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW TOYOTA CAN ISSUE A RECALL, BUT GM CAN'T. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE "IMPORTANT" TO GET KILLED IN ONE OF GM'S CARS BEFORE OUR GOVERNMENT DOES ANYTHING FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE? *TW
