IllustrationMY SATURN VUE, YEAR 2007, IS MAKING A SCREECHING SOUND COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE TRANSMISSION ON STARTUP AND GETS LOUDER ON ACCELERATION. THE RPM IS OVERLY AMPED. ON ACCELERATION IF STUTTERS OR FEELS LIKE IT'S SKIPPING BETWEEN GEARS. THIS TAKES PLACE ON STARTING THE CAR TO DRIVING ON CITY STREETS OR THE HIGHWAY.

PULLED OFF THE ROAD RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE OVER REVVED AND I TURNED THE KEY OFF AGAIN, ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. STOMPED THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS TIME THE RESULTS WERE NORMAL. EITHER THE CRUISE CONTROL OR ACCELERATOR PETAL OR CONTROL MODULE I SUSPECT WERE AT FAULT.....THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD IF WE HAD BEEN IN A HIGH TRAFFIC CONDITION...
