NHTSA Complaint #10789473 — 2009 SATURN VUE

AUGUST 2015 I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AROUND 6:25PM ON I-75 THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING AND RPM WERE HIGH AND TRUCH FELT LIKE I WAS PUSHING GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL AT SAME TIME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. CALLED ONSTAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD THE CODE IS P0340, CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND IF MORE ISSUES TAKE IN TO DEALER. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SPEED WENT FROM 65 TO 30 AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS FLOORING GAS PEDAL IT WOULD GO NO MORE THAN 20-30 MPH. I FRANTICALLY, SOMEHOW WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER 5-6 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD TO BE TOWED. IT WAS ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT I WAS NOT HIT NOR CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON I-75 IN BUSY ATLANTA. I WAS 50 MILES AWAY FROM HOME AND HAD TO GET A RIDE HOME. AFTER DAYS OF RESEARCH AND THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSING THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE CODES, I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HUB 2.
