Died today.
Well, not fully, yet. Transmission is going, almost gone to tell you the truth. Sooo, I take it to a local place, guy says he can't fix it, it's got that odd, VTI tranny. OK, so, he says he'll see what can be done, probably will have to be replaced. So, I get home, I decide to call Saturn. I've heard about problems with that transmissions.
Low and behold, the woman on the phone tell me it's 100% COVERED!!! They extended the warranty to 100,000 miles. As long as you are the only owner, you're good. They also cover tow costs and rental car fees. I almost shit my pants. I thought for sure I would be out $5,000. Shitty part is, seeing they closed so many dealerships, I gotta go to Worcester, about an hour away.
So, if anyone here owns a Saturn with that transmission, keep an eye out. My check engine light went on yesterday, that's how I knew something was gonna happen, sure enough, same day, started running funny.

You're telling me.
I really put it on here so if anyone else had that model they would know about it. I guess it's not common knowledge, you gotta search for it. I called them directly on a whim.

Trust me, I was shitting myself wondering what is was gonna cost. I would have to park the car as I don't have that kinda cash laying around. I have a Saturn Vue to fall back on, but my boyfriend is driving it now and his van needs brakes before it can drive, so I was realllllly shittin myself.
Good luck

My buddy had a late 90's toyota tacoma and there was a problem with the frame rusting... Toyota extended the warranty on them because of the problems. He had the thing for over 10 years, had like 180,000 miles on it, and toyota gave him 150% of the highest blue book value for it... he ended up getting back like $3,000 less than he originally paid for it 10+ years ago.
