NHTSA Complaint #10588429 — 2007 SATURN AURA

MY SATURN STOPPED PULLING WHEN STOPPED, THANKFULLY AT OUR DRIVEWAY. IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. IT WOULD PULL IN REVERSE BUT NOT IN DRIVE. ATTEMPTED THE MANUAL MODE BUT STILL DID NOT PULL AND DID NOT SHOW GEAR INDICATION ON DASH. UPON SEVERAL TIMES TURNING ON AND OFF IT STARTED PULLING. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT RECREATE. PROGRAM UPDATE TO TCM AND $300 LATER WE LEFT. ONE MONTH LATER THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING SO BAD IT ALMOST STALLED IN INTERSECTIONS CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SCENARIO. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE THEM SAY WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNAWARE OF A RECALL ON THE NEWS REGARDING A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM FOR THE AURAS BUT NOT FOR THIS PROBLEM OR MODEL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE CONSIDER A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR
