I also have a 2004 FWD Saturn Vue (70,000) miles - MN car. The ride is not as smooth as it used to be. The garage indicated the rear shocks, front struts (and possibly the strut supports) need to be replaced. They also recommended the transmission fluid be replaced "it is dark and smells bad". Price is close to $1300. Your thoughts?
