About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Normal driving when manual transmission - without warning - shifter linkage became disconnected, leaving me unable to shift out of the current gear, rendering the car undrivable and leaving me stranded in traffic on a busy street. Mechanic reports that this is a known problem on Saturn with manual transmissions but that no safety recalls have ever been issued. Saturn should be required to fix this problem at no cost to owners and to reimburse people that have experienced this problem and had to pay to get it fixed.

There was no warning just took off from my house in 2003 Saturn Vue and when I went to shift the transmission seemed to let go. It won't go out of first gear and gearshift just moves freely.

Repeated manual transmission problems. Shift cable bindings and clips/adjusters broke, leaving the car undrivable. This has happened twice in less than 4.5 years of ownership. The vehicle had about 15K miles when the first incident occurred, and about 43K miles the second time. The vehicle has always been very difficult to get into gear at times, even after repairs have been done to fix the manual transmission. The shift cables and adjusters have been replaced twice in 4.5 years.
