Dammit, Saturday I slid in the snow and hit a telephone pole. Wrinkled the DS fender, just barely missing the headlights. Tuesday, an old lady tried to test the laws of physics and have two objects with mass occupy the same space at the same time (changed lanes and bumped the PS front fender just...

Hi!! New poster here -- sorry if this is already talked to death.. For the past 6 months or so my automatic tranny has been giving me problems. It shifts HARD into gear, it sometimes also delays and delays and delays shifting then BAM!! Both forward and reverse. The reverse is a lot less...

I have a 2002 VUE. The front windshield washer control appears to be temperature sensitive. When below freezing and I pull the lever to clean the windshield, either: - nothing happens 80% of the time or - wipers move as designed 15% of the time or - miniscule amount of windshield cleaner makes it...

We're having a heck of a blizard today in Metro New York. Had to make a few erands before the snow got too high and was driving in aobut 4" of powder snow. The 'low traction' light was on for a good portion of the trip and it was certainly no speed demon as the system cut the throttle to...

My 1999 SL1 has a very loud vibration coming from the engine compartment when it is running and in gear and standing still. If I shift it into Park the vibration stops. When you begin moving it stops. It is only when you are running and in gear and stopped that the vibration is felt and heard (at a...

It got up to about 3000rpm, then gradually settled back down to around 2000rpm. Now, when I come to a stop and put in the...

I have a 1996 Saturn SL2 manual transmission. It is a high milage car (170,000). This week while stopping in traffic (with the clutch in)the RPMs started fluctuating from about 300rpms up to about 3,000rpms.

This car had it's clutch replaced last summer, and in December started having "shifting problems". That was how my neice described the problem. When I tried to drive it, the problem seems to be that the clutch is now failing to release completely. I can start in neutral and get it in gear, but...

I had a water leak in 2003 VUE sunroof. It was so bad that the drains in the roof clogged up and the water leaked into the car and wiring harness, the car would start but the throttle was rendered out of service, broken down due to a water lesk. 2 times to dealer, and they cleared drains but did...
