Car will kick out of gear while driving down the road or won't go past first gear when starting it. I've replaced about everything except the transmission and the engine.
While driving at any speed transmission would not go past first gear. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who rebuilt the engine. Currently, transmission was doing the exact same thing again.
The transaxle often slips and fails to shift into drive. Eventually, the transmission had to be replaced.
While driving 60-65 MPH transmission downshifted harshly to 15 MPH, dealer determined that the powertrain sensor failed and replaced it but the problem continued, the dealer then determined tthe transmission experienced an internal problem, the transmission was disassembled, the dealer replaced a broken (od)hub, broken breather housing, front planetary carrier, all seal, gaskets. Filter and fluid.*ak

I also had to have the water pump replaced.along with the sensor on the exhust pipe,seems like just when the warrenty goes off , and I had the extended warrenty,everything happens.
The engine check light has come on intermittently since I bought this car. Most of the time the dealships have told me it was a false code. In dec. Of 99 I took it to a transmission place and they said their computer told them that the car had burned a shift clutch in the transmission and it would cost 1200 because they had to tear into the transmission. The tachometer also stays at zero most of the time, but every once in a while it will work.
No summary listed for abov evehicle.
While driving at higway speeds of 55 to 60 MPH vehicle will automatically downshift on its own, reducing the speed very quickly. This has nearly resulted in a driver's whiplash. Dealer has been contacted.

Transmission failed at 50682 miles. Speed sensor failed at @ 52000 miles. Still having problems with downshifting with new transmission and vehicle sticking in first gear. Dealer unable to locate problem. They "think" it is the trans. Computer module. Chrysler unwilling to assist with repair cost of module.
We brought the car back to dealer several times with no satisfaction. When we finally realized what the problem was the warrantee was over. I will never ever buy a car from saturn again, new or used.
The odometer shows "door" like a door is open while vehicle is in gear even though no door is open. Have no ideal what odometer reads unless you look before you put vehicle in gear.
When shifting gears there is a noise like some metal scraping metal and the entire engine moves in an unusual manner.
Vehicle recall for replacement of master cylinder piston and replacement of brake pads, however continues to require replacement of (brake pads, wheel cylinder, rotors, etc.)
