Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2003 Saturn VUE

Was driving around 45 mph and suddenly the reduced power light came on. Vehicle slowed to a stop. I turned vehicle off and restarted but transmission would not engage. I had the vehicle towed to my home where it has been sitting. I am researching how to get the tcm to communicate with the engine computer. I wrote to gm for assistance regarding the lawsuit with Saturn vehicles and they arrogantly replied back "that they are longer addressing additional communication on this subject. " how arrogant!.

The problem I encounter with my car is transmission related. Last year, I was stopped at a traffic light, then the light turned green, I accelerated as usual, the engineã‚??s speed increased and the car did not move. Suddenly, with a loud noise the car jerked forward. The car behind me almost crashed into my car, and the driver screamed at me and waiving his hands. The car was taken to the Saturn dealer on July 30, 2004. They kept the car for a week, and repaired or replace the transmission. The problem recurred, and I brought the car to the dealer again on June 30, 2005. They could not duplicate the problem this time. Last July, the 07, I brought my car to the dealer for the same problem, and this time they replaced the transmission fluid, and reprogrammed the tcm. Septembers, 2005, I stopped at a stop sign to leave the complex where I reside, and the same phenomenon recurred: I accelerated, but the car did not move, then suddenly jerked forward, and again I almost crashed in the car coming from my left. I love my car, but I am afraid to drive it now! the first time the transmission was repaired, the car was about 10,000 miles. I had the same problem last June at 21,831 miles, and again last July, at 22,164 miles.
