The Saturn Vue V6 is a rocket off the line but don’t expect to carve canyons with one if you find yourself on the PCH.

How can I tell if my Saturn Vue is having transmission problems?
It only happens when stopped and the you push the gas to go it just revs up and doesn’t move, if i shift into N and then back it drives but the CE light comes on and it runs rough. After you turn it off then start it up the light is off and runs fine, even if its only off for a sec. It does this about 2 times on a 20 mile in town trip.
