Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After regular preventative maintenance, 2003 saturn vue has continuously experienced transmission problems from 70,000k point on. vehicle drops gear (often in busy traffic, at intersections, occasionally while just traveling down a road at 30-40 mph), does not shift into higher gear (causing sudden loss of speed during highway travel), makes loud grinding noises while turning and accelerating and otherwise fails to operate properly. recently had vehicle serviced ($1,000 in charges) and was told that modular was cracked and transmission fluid needed replacement. problems continue after servicing. have read extensive reports and complaints involving saturn vue vt1 transmission. saturn needs to have a recall - it's consumers can't afford all of these repairs for what is clearly a faulty transmission that has been discontinued!*jb
