2004 Saturn VUE review from North America
"We do not appreciate the run around and are very wary of the quality of craftsmanship"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear differential extremely noisy!
The fan for the vent/air conditioner will not turn off.
General comments?
We bought our 2004 Saturn V-6 AWD VUE and have had the entire rear differential replaced and that stopped the noise for about a month or two. Now it is back louder than ever.
Also, today I started the car after church and turned on the AC on full blast. It would not turn off, so I thought maybe it was a broken knob until I turned off my car, pulled the key out of the ignition and the blower was still on. I had to remove the fuse to get it to stop.
We are getting frustrated and after reading this message board I see there are many with this unfix-able noise issue in the rear differential. What is going on? Are they waiting until our warranties expire?
