| I own an 2001 saturn l-33, with 38,280 miles. on two occasions the service light (not the service engine light came on, and when this occurred, the transmission would shift harshly. on 04-30- 2009, i had started the car, which had no been used that day, i was sitting somewhat sideways in the drivers seat talking to my father, when the auto when the auto went into reverse by itself, and dragged me across the street, hitting a block wall. i got up and into the auto, and noticed the shift lever was still in park. i found a websight the saturn forum wherein other saturn l-300 owners had the same problem with the service light coming on etc. as far as i know, saturn has not sent out a service bulletin, or re-call on this problem. i also found out the problem might be due to pinched wiring going to the transmission control module. i am hesitant in taking the auto to the dealer for repair as i was injured, and i might re-tain legal council in this matter. i think saturn should be notifying people of the possible hazard involved in this auto. *tr | |||
