2003 Saturn VUE AWD review from North America
"Very unreliable; lots of expensive issues at low kilometres"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas tank need and ancillary components required replacing in the first week and then again.
Wheel bearing after few kilometers.
ABS brake sensors.
Several recalls on the vehicle.
Mounts (not covered under any warranty - $700.00)
Head gasket - all oil ran out of vehicle.
Electric mirrors cracked in cold weather as did the front brush bar.
General comments?
This is the poorest quality vehicle I have ever owned.
This vehicle has spent more time in the repair shop. Very disappointed in the extended warranty... many items not covered.
After one year the vehicle became loud and road noise is very loud.
I have had several GM products in the past and this has been the poorest.
