In July I bought a 2002 Saturn Vue. Over christmas holidays I noticed it was leaking transimission fluid from a connection in front of the vehicle. I was amazed to find these lines totally unprotected and vulnerable to road hazard damage. Due to their proximity to the exhaust I'm concerned with a rupture and fire. I have pictures available to show the location of these lines but am unable to attach them to this type of file. This is an accident waiting to happen!.
