I just bought an 08 Saturn Vue v6 xr with the 6 speed automatic 94k miles and I’ve been reading a lot of complaints about the 3-5 wave plates I where the transmission won’t shift out of first gear when the car is warm. I experienced the first signs of it the day I bought it and took it to the shop and they said it was just the sensor but after I got it back I had the same problem and the shop said the whole transmission needs to be replaced which is a 3-4k job. Gm does not take responsibility for it although many many many people have had the same problem and it leaves people like me stuck with no solution as I had just spent all my money buying the car.

While driving car dropped down to low gear and the rpms reved up car will not shift out of low gear car only has 49,000 miles on it can we be reimbursed from gm.

The transmission has episodes where it will not shift out of second gear. I have to pull over, turn off the car and re- start it. Most of the time it will shift into gear after doing this, but this past week it has not taken care of the problem. I bought the car in oct. 2015. And it started doing this 3 days after I bought it. I am aware that gm has several model vehicles, including some Saturns, which have on- star that have faulty wave plates and have been recalled for this problem. After reading some of the complaints from some of the owners of these vehicles, it sounds exactly like what my car is doing. I don't know who to contact about this. But fyi. . . Saturn has already had a class action suit against them for the 2004-2005 model transmission problem- or so I'm told.

Pulled out from a stop sign, at normal speed. And the car wouldn't shift out of second gear. Pulled over right away to avoid an accident. The car was in very good running condition with reg maintenance on car. I had a small child in the car with me at this time. I had to make it home going 5-10 mph. This should have not happened at this low of miles and reg maintenance on car. Why is there no recall?.

Without warning the transmission would not shift out of first gear. The car would not go any faster than 35 mile per hour and struggle to go up an incline into the driveway, revving at 2000 rpm. After an examination by a mechanic, it was determined that the transmission wave plate was cracked, failing to produce enough pressure for a gear change.
