On November 19, 2013 as I was in my way to work the car started to make a weird noise and as I kept driving I felt a jerk on the car and heard a loud noise coming from the engine, had to turn back home. I was not going to drive the car and get stranded somewhere on the road. I call carl black Chevrolet and had the car towed to have it service. On Friday I picked up the car and was told the fixed the problem which was the control solenoid valve and transmission control module assembly replacement. They found fluid pressure switches damaged, replaced tcm and sol assembly. On Friday November 23, 2013 I picked up my car and was told the problem was fixed, but on November 25, 2013 as I was driving to the store the problem started again, going about 35 miles the car jerked back so bad that I almost hit my head on the steering wheel. I thank god there was nobody behind me because this could have cause an accident. I was able to get the car home but not before the car did the same thing again and there was noise coming from the engine. I had the car towed again to carl black Chevrolet and is at their service center today, I want a new transmission on my car not just replace some parts and sending me on my way with a car that I can have a serious accident with and possible get hurt or hurt others. All this problems have caused me to missed work and spend money I don't have, I do not want to continue having problems that can be avoided. This is a very stressful situation for me, please tell me what I have to do to have this problem fix.
Purchased my Saturn oct 2011 transmission went out 3 months later January 2012. Saturn replaced it because it was still under factory warranty. August 7th 2013 im getting onto the expressway and my engine light comes on and the car loses power and would hardly excelerate. My transmission control module went out and my warranty company refuses to fix it saying that it is not an internal part. I am beyond pissed.
