Saturn is a very dirty word.
I have a 2004 Saturn VUE, when the CVT transmission failed, I was not covered in the class action settlement, because it had 2,500 miles on it when I bought it from the dealership (it was not purchased new). It is totally unrepairable. No new transmission available, 3rd party only repair, guaranteed for 5,000 miles. Last price I got was $4,500 for the rebuilt transmission installed.
It has been setting idle in my driveway at the farm for 7 years.
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT FROM ANY REMAINING PART OF GOVERNMENT MOTORS.
Get this: about 2 months ago I got a notice from GM about a faulty ignition switch that must be replaced. So I called them and told them mine would not run. They had to talk to their legal department about how to handle mine. Eventually they simply gave up, did nothing. Talk about stupid people.
End of rant.
I would have told them that the ignition is what caused it to stop running and to come and tow it to the shop. lol
We had no trouble getting our transmission fixed.
