| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2006 saturn ion 2 with a manual transmission. i had trouble with the car not going into first gear from neutral and not going into other gears while traveling at higher speeds. i would have to shut the car off before i could get it to go in gear. i would then have to let it sit for a few minutes before i could get it to start back up because it would lurch forward and shake really bad then shut off if you tried to start it right back up. i was trying to go out of town july 31, 2006. i was at a red light and the car would not go into first gear from neutral. i finally had to shut the car off to get it to go into first gear. when i tried to start the car, it lurched forward, shook really bad, and shut back off. it repeatedly did this. i had to let the car sit in the middle of the road at the red light for several minutes before i could start the car. i was finally able to get it out of the road heading to a gas station. it shut off again, and we had to push the car through the parking lot where we waited on a tow truck. the saturn dealership in savannah, ga has not helped me at all. the service manager told me they would not work on my car at all until the problem happened to one of their techs. it did not matter that i was paying for a brand new car with an extended warranty and had experienced the problem. the corporate office in springhill, tn sided with the dealership. i am still proceeding with the lemon law process almost a year later. on july 25, 2007, i will be attending my second arbitration hearing. i am still paying for a car i cannot use as well as full coverage insurance. they also refuse to pay for all of my rental bill even though my extended warranty covered rentals and i needed a way to work. *tr |
