Car began to make a loud whine. Took it to my auto-tech and was placed on diagnostics. Was determined that the bearing in the transmission was failing. This is at the 66,000 mile mark. Let saturn know this and because I did not get my car serviced there at the dealership, there was not much they could do for me! What a rip! Even following the scheduled maintenance on my own, there is not much they could do for me! I think there is something wrong with a car company when transmissions fail at this low of mileage. Someone should check into their business practices!!!! *Jb
