2003 Saturn VUE review from North America
"Horrible!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went out, the front strut mounts are crap, rear wiper motor went out.
General comments?
This vehicle is a nightmare, worst vehicle I have ever owned... hands down, please if you are reading this do not buy a 2003 saturn vue 2.2 awd w/vti transmission... you will have nothing, but problems... saturn knows that the VTI is a faulty trans and still charges $4,600.00 for a new one that will probaley last about 50,000 miles, and there is yet to be a recall on it, sounds like a automobile company that really cares about it's loyal customers to me. you can't really blame GM though, cause believe me, saturn tries to distance itself from gm the best it can, even though gm is the best thing saturn has going for it. saturn are disposable vehicles... DO NOT BUY ONE. buy a older vehicle that you can actually service!
