2006 Saturn VUE AWD review from North America
"Definition of piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Reoccurring shorts in heated seats.
Leaking sunroof.
Rusting hatch.
Easily cracked windshield.
Cheap cheap leather.
Seriously uncomfortable.
Dealer service is dreadful.
General comments?
I hate this piece of crap! I've always been wary of purchasing domestic... but after having gone to work for GMAC I figured the discount was enough that I would give one a try... So I purchased this Vue AWD completely loaded. Worst decision I've ever made. I could rant but what's the point.
Dealership will not honor any of the work they've done on the leaking sunroof, heated seats or spot rust (yes that's right the only piece of sheet metal on this vehicle is rusting). I will be calling into GM corporate offices for good will, but here's the kicker, all the Saturn Dealerships locally are owned by the same ownership group... as if I'm going to take my vehicle back there for more work that won't be done properly... these guys are completely ignorant and inept at their trade.
* WARNING do not purchase a Saturn * (although the new model is so ugly there won't be many sales of the vehicle anyway)
