Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY CAR SEEMED TO SHIFT ODDLY BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. ROUGH, JERKY AND REVVING WHEN IT DIDN'T NEED TO. WHEN I WAS BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPACE IN THE GARAGE, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER. IT HESITATED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO AND THEN IT FINALLY MOVED. I HAD TO DO THIS TWO OR THREE TIMES TO GET INTO MY PARKING SPOT AND EACH TIME IT WAS WORSE. I CALLED THE SHOP AND HAD IT TOWED BECAUSE I SUSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING ISSUES, AND EVEN SAW ONLINE THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME RECALLS ON THE SATURN AURA FOR THAT YEAR ON THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE DEALER SAID THERE ARE NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION NOW ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. *TR
