2002 Saturn VUE AWD review from North America
"Car would be rated 10 instead of 7 if not for the electrical problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Odometer jumps (increases) miles randomly.
Trip meter also randomly increases.
Actual distance traveled (using GPS) = 68, trip meter reads 878.
Also odometer has increased the same amount (878 miles).
Car only sees 2,9xx miles a year (over 6 year period). Kept in a garage protected from severe weather.
Failure began when parked outside on 90 degree day (inside at least 160 degrees).
Early morning when car is cool, no problem with either gage.
General comments?
2002 Saturn Vue has been a good car, even though it has little wear and tear, parts do seem to be sensitive to heat.
