I am recently having problems getting my 2005 Saturn Vue into 1st gear. Called a transmission company who looked it up and said there were a lot of complaints about this very issue, yet there is no recall for it. I only have 60,000 miles on my vehicle. The problem is that Saturn put in a rubber type shifting linkage.
My transmission in my 2005 Saturn Vue has failed. I was in traffic and the car just stopped as I pressed the gas pedal the engine just revved and the car took a few secs to engage. I have 65,001 miles on the vehicle and I have not had any luck in finding the transmission to fit this vehicle.
Many incidences of Saturn Vue rolling backwards non-stop in drive (gear). Told upon each of 5 reports that all automatic transmissions roll backwards in drive. Vehicle has also rolled (not slid)4 times forwards in park down the driveway into the road with all wheels rolling. It has rolled backwards once with all wheels rolling. Vehicle needed to be entered an emergency brake pulled. Nothing has been done to date.
