problem #1

Mar 122018

Aura XR 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,000 miles

Of course, I would fall victim to the same common problem - the six speed transmission grenades itself under 100,000 miles but its a Saturn so GM basically says, "you're screwed!" and laughs until they pee themselves.

Stranded on a rural road at night. Complete transmission failure. It was towed to repair shop, and I was told the transmission is useless. Needed a full rebuild. Looked at the parts - yep. Clutch plates were crunched.

$2,000 later... I'm not buying a GM vehicle again. Far too many people with this issue and no help from GM.
