2002 Saturn VUE review from North America
"This is my FIRST and LAST Saturn"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Throttle body assembly replaced at 18,000 and 38,000 miles ($1200 jobs).
Fuel pump out at 39,000 miles ($950 job).
Coolant leak around oil pump at 38,000 miles ($800 job).
Alarm system malfunctioning at 38,000 miles (not going to be fixed - cause undetermined).
General comments?
I bought it at 1 year old because it had great acceleration, which ended up costing me over $2,000 over 3 years.
Cabin is roomy, but engine noise comes through.
