I had a Saturn Vue with the 2.2L Ecotech. After my son ran it through
the mud (and I mean deep through the mud), we lost a coil pack, but
otherwise the engine was trouble free. I wish I could have said the
same about the transmission. When the car had around 40K miles I
traded it in because I didn't want to worry about needing another new
transmission.
