NHTSA Complaint #10626035 — 2007 SATURN OUTLOOK

HELLO I HAVE THE 2007 OUTLOOK THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THE NOTORIOUS TRANSMISSION FAILURE. MY CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON AFTER I PURCHASED IT WITH 40,000 MILES AND TOLD THEM THE CAR WOULD ROLL BACK WHILE ON A HILL IN GEAR. THEY SAID IT WAS INHERENT WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. AS DANGEROUS AS THIS WAS TO SEND A CUSTOMER AWAY WITH A CAR THAT ROLLS BACKWARDS. TODAY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT NOTICE. I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN THE LOWES PARKING LOT AND THE CAR SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY. I MADE IT TO THE CORNER ABOUT A HALF MILE AWAY BEFORE THE CAR SIMPLY WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO LUNGHAMER GMC AT 5825 HIGHLAND ROAD IN WATERFORD MICHIGAN. I PULLED THE ENGINE CODE MYSELF AND HAD P2723, P0700 I AM FINDING EVERYWHERE ON THE WEB THROUGH HUNDREDS OF FORUMS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS A REAL ISSUE DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE CHINA MADE WAVE PLATE. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT IMPLODES INTERNALLY THEN TAKES OUT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE $4000.00 REPAIR , REPLACEMENT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FAILURE EARLY ON. *TR
