Consumer Description

I LOST THE ABILITY TO GO FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO IN REVERSE. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WITH MY MOTHER AND WENT INTO REVERSE AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO FORWARD THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY REV. AFTER MANY TRIES TO GET IT TO WORK I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION I HAD REPLACED JUST 32000 MILES EARLIER HAD FAILED. THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 130000 MILES. NOT REALLY SURE SINCE IT HAS BEEN SETTING IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE THIS HAPPENED AND I CAN'T GET IT TO TURN OVER TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE MILEAGE. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP IT DID IT AGAIN. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT IN GEAR SO I COULD GET IT HOME. THERE ARE MANY CONSUMERS HAVING WORSE SAFETY ISSUES. TAKE A LOOK AT EDMUNDS.COM AND LOOK AT THE SATURN BLOG. SOME HAVE HAD THEIRS GO OUT WHILE IN TRAFFIC, WHILE AWAY ON TRIPS, ON HIGHWAYS. ETC..... *TR
