Consumer Description

SINCE I HAVE HAD MY 2005 SATURN VUE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. MY SHIFTING LINKAGE HAS GONE OUR SEVERAL TIMES. LEAVING ME IN WHATEVER GEAR I'M IN. THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MPH THREE (3) TIMES! COMING DOWN A HILL AT 50MPH MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 5TH TO 2ND! THAT BLEW MY CLUTCH! ($2000) MY LINKAGE WAS FIXED (THEORETICALLY) BY THREE DEALERSHIPS WHICH DID NOT LAST. ONE ONLY SIX (6) MONTHS! MY 5TH GEAR AND REVERSE DISAPPEARED IN MARCH OF 2014 ($1600) THEN AGAIN MY LINKAGE CABLES WOULDN'T WORK ($448) AND I HAD THEM REPLACED.FINALLY MY SHIFTING FORK FOR THREE (3) GEARS HAD TO BE REPLACED, THAT WAS ANOTHER $336! ON TOP OF ALL THIS MY IGNITION, AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THIS CAR, I BOUGHT IT NEW, MY KEY WOULD FALL OUT IF MY KNEE HIT IT. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING! IF I TURNED THE KEY TO THE LOCKED POSITION IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL JIGGLES TO GET IT TO TURN TO THE RIGHT! WHEN I TOOK IT THE LAST TWO (2) FOR TRANSMISSION FIXES THE SHOP COULD NOT START THE CAR! I HAD TO BICYCLE 3 MILES TO THE SHOP TO GET IT STARTED! THE SHIFTING LINKAGE, TRANSMISSION AND KEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM! I AM THINKING OF SUING GM! *TR
