2007 Saturn Vue transmission problems

Filed Aug 7, 2023 · Electrical, Engine · IN · fire

I was driving on the highway, on the way to the beach with my family and our pup! We heard a pop and thought maybe it was the tire but the engine began smoking. I pulled the vehicle over as safely as possible. I popped the hood and there was a fire. Everyone evacuated the vehicle as quickly and safely as possible. I was the last to get out of the vehicle. Within minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. We stood there and watched the only vehicle we have completely burn up. I cried and I watched my kids cry. What was supposed to be a beach day for us to distress and relax turned into us almost losing our lives on the highway. We are thankful for the state trooper, the fire department, and the paramedics who all arrived on scene and kept my family safe. Im thankful our lives weren’t lost. However we still faced a life or death situation today.

My car is a 2007 saturn vue. We only had it for a couple years. I first purchased the car and it only had 80000 miles on it its now at 105000 and the transmission went out on it driving down the highway. I havent had the car that long. It was practically still new. If these cars easily break down caused by transmission then they should be up for recall .the car was moving we were going down highway when there was a clucking sound.
