SATURN Complaints

THE DAY BEFORE WHEN MY WIFE WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE, WE HEARD A POPPING SOUND. WE JUST KIND OF GAVE EACH OTHER A LOOK, NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS. SHE NOTICED SOME HESITATION IN ACCELERATION THAT DAY. 2 DAYS LATER, WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL, THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A REVVING SOUND, LIKE WHAT KIDS WOULD MAKE WHILE PRETENDING TO DRIVE. THEN WHEN SHE TURNED AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE RPM'S WOULD GO UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. SHE TURNED IT OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND LIMPED HOME. TRIED TO REVERSE INTO GARAGE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE. NOW IT'S SITTING ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. *TR
