NHTSA Complaint #10575054 — 2007 SATURN AURA

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON MONDAY (3/24/2014), SO I DROVE IT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE AFTER WORK THAT DAY. MY FATHER DROVE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP ON WEDNESDAY (3/26/14). ON THE WAY TO THE REPAIR JOB, THE CAR STOPPED CHANGING GEARS, AND SLOWED TO A STOP. HE LET IT REST FOR 10 MINUTES, THEN STARTED IT UP AND BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN. AFTER A FEW MILES, THE CAR ONCE AGAIN SUDDENLY SLOWED TO A STOP. HE LET IT REST FOR 10 MINUTES AGAIN, AND WAS THEN ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP INFORMED US THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY SHOT. THERE WERE CHEWED UP METAL SHAVINGS, PRESUMABLY FROM THE WAVE PLATE. THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM ACCORDING TO EDMUNDS.COM, HOWEVER, GM HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL OR REFUNDS FOR REPAIRS. *TR
