Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2003 SATURN VUE IN 2008 WITH 120,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAD A 3 MONTH POWER TAM WARRANTY. 1 MONTH AFTER THAT EXPIRED THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. FURIOUS, I CALLED THE SATURN DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE AMAZING. THEY UNDERSTOOD AND PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN, PAID FOR THE TOWING AND EVEN REIMBURSED ME FOR THE RENTAL CAR EXPENSE. THE NEW TRANSMISSION WENT OUT 3 YEARS LATER, AND I PUT LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE FROM GM BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR. MILEAGE? I BOUGHT IT USED! NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS WORTH NOTHING BUT THE SPARE PARTS?! THERE IS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS MODEL BLOWING OUT TRANSMISSION AND GM DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT!? THIS IS NOT AN OWNER'S PROBLEM, ITS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND THEY OFFER 0 BACK FOR A TRADE IN REBATE?! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE AND ONLY FURTHER PROVES THAT THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY CUTS CORNERS AS WELL AS SCAMS ITS CUSTOMERS. THIS IS A SHAMEFUL COMPANY, AND I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT IS HEARD. I'M SURE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. *TR
