Transmission complete failure @ 57520 miles. Technician at Chevrolet dealership stated several gm vehicles use this transmission and has seen multiple transmission failures, caused by the same part. The 3-5 reverse clutch plate is the common component causing the failure. The NHTSA should require gm to recall all vehicles with this transmission and require them to repair the problem, free of charge to the consumer. Pulled out from a gas station, transmission shifted to 2nd gear. A loud bang!, Vue (now aka: Chevrolet captiva) stuck into same gear, lucky for us, people slowed down, Vue would not go over 20 mph.

Vehicle: 2006 Saturn Vue manual transmission. Twice in the last 4 months the manual transmission has failed catastrophically while driving on the highway. In both instances the shifter separated from the transmission and the vehicle was stuck in gear. The second occurrence was on an I-95. The Saturn dealership replaced and end clip the first time and the shifter cable the second time. They are telling me that the occurrences are unrelated - different parts and balking at fixing the defect without me paying for it. I have found several internet sites in which people are complaining of this same failure over several model years in the Saturn Vue. I was lucky that I did not get in an accident with this failure - especially the second time on I-95.
