Consumer Description

VALVE BODY FAILED - TROUBLE WITH GEARS ENGAGING THEN DURING TOTAL FAILURE, TANSMISSION WENT INTO 2ND GEAR WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN INCLINE, OR POWER APPLICATION AND SURGED IN AND OUT OF SECOND GEAR (AT HIGHWAY SPEED). VALVE BODY REPLACED - DEALER READILY ADMITS A COMMON PROBELM WITH SATURNS BUILT IN EARLY 90'S. IF GEARS FAIL TO ENGAGE I SEE A SAFETY CONCERN - ESPECIALLY SINCE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE DIFFERENT FROM ORIGINAL STOCK - THE A SOLUTION TO THIS HAS BEEN ENGINEERED BUT WHY NO RECALL?
