Vehicle is 2008 Saturn Aura xr with auto 6-speed trans. While driving, the transmission shifted harshly from 1 to 2 then to 3rd gear. It remained in 3 gear and the check engine light came on. Trans remains stuck in 3rd gear when moving forward. Still can use reverse gear. Called onstar and they said the vehicle shows fault code p0700. Took car to dealership. Dealership verified failure, said most likely wave plate failed, and this is a common failure mode for this trans. Component for later model years has been made more robust. Failures are common for 2007-09 model years. Reference gm TSB 09-07-30 012b.
