Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Saturn Vue. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle a knocking noise was present coming from the engine and smoke was visible coming from the under the hood.

My car steering goes in and out loud whining noise like I'm gonna lose control got ran and pinion replaced and power steering pump so what can still be the problem also just replace control module for transmission and now light just came back on 3 months after getting fixed same code p0700.
When parking, whether on an incline or level ground my vehicle continues to roll forward. So a majority of the time I have to utilize my manual brake when placing my vehicle in park just to be on the safe side and to void any mishaps. Also, when in drive my vehicle makes a very strong noise that intensifies the longer I am driving. When I make turns or reverse it sounds like the transmission is struggling to perform. The best analogy I can give is when a person with asthma first begins to struggle with breathing and if they don't have their rescue inhaler that struggle immediately begins to kick up a notch. I reviewed the open recalls and found that there is one regarding the issues that I am experiencing with my vehicle (correct make/model) whoever, I am being told that recalls are VIN specific and that my VIN doesn't qualify. It was like I was being handled and the OH well tone regarding my concern that it can't be that issue because your VIN is not associated with the recall approach was quite unnerving.

This car was purchased on 4/4/2009 with 13,936 miles on it. As of the date of the incident, there are 71,694 miles on the car or 57,758 miles driven (average 11,550 per year). This car was well kept and had the appropriate maintenance done. The first thing that failed on the car was the keyless start. It failed less than seven months after purchase. Last winter, we noticed the electronic stability failed and no longer worked. On 6/24/2008; the transmission failed. We get the transmission fluids checked every oil change and everything seemed to be working fine. Two weeks ago, the car started making rubbing noises until now the transmission actually failed. Car transmissions should last at least 100k miles. With the history of Saturn Vues having transmission issues, this one has now failed us.
