2003 Saturn VUE review from North America
"Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the 2003 in September of 2003, have replaced a hub bearing, ball joint & now being told the timing chain has fallen off & the engine is destroyed & needs a new one.
This car only has 90,000 miles, timing chain isn't even supposed to be replaced until 100,000 miles.
Had nothing but problems w/this car in the year that I have owned it.
General comments?
I will never buy another Saturn... I definitely ended up with a lemon, and will have to fix the car with buying a new engine or try to do some kind of trade with Saturn and still be out the money, & have a car payment again which I do not want; either way, Saturn makes money on the deal...
