Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2008 Saturn VUE

We had problems before March 30, they were still under warranty. Sadly, the dealer never told us we would be stiffed with time in certified gm pre-owned warranty nor any of the issues we have had. Got car may 2011 and has been in and out of shops since approximately September of 2011. We have replaced sway bar links 3 times in less than 1 1/2 years. Tires, battery, windshield wiper motor linkage,electrical issues, replaced driver side air bag. The kicker was the transmission on March 30 2013 while husband was deployed. Had both of my children in the car when it just stopped- on the road. Had it towed to davidson in watertown NY. Diagnostic done 4/1/13 revealed 4 codes from tranny, had to remove it to test further. We have never received any recall info at any pint since 2011; most of them seem to be listed under 2008; we have no idea haow we would have known about them, or if the issues have ever been fixed. The tranny went right after power train warranty conveniently expired- it was the 3-5 wave plate , which I just read on internet was a recall. Gm case manager , daniel,was supposedly trying to assist me. He also was in contact with chris, service manager @ davidson. As soon as they knew I had a loan secured for 4000. 00 , no one could help all of the sudden! I was told by gm that I would get help with cost; either certificate with smaller amount for trade in, or 30% of repair cost. I said repair cost to lower my loan. Then neither would help me and both became unprofessional. I have sent letters to gm with no response. Also, I had to pay for rental car. It is noted that clutch spring and piston also damaged. I feel that we were given this car under false pretenses as far as safety and being gm certified pre-owned. Multiple issues. The dealership had to know these issues, prior to scamming us, to make this car certified gm advertised!!.
