2006 Saturn VUE review from North America
"Great vehicle with one 'lemon' feature"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the ignition cylinder replaced three times. The key still feels "grabby" in the cylinder and I will tell the dealership about it during the next visit. It's still under warranty, but I'm concerned this is going to be an ongoing issue and expense. It took them 3 hours during the last repair because the mechanic has to reassemble the entire steering column before he knows if the new cylinder will work.. and it did not. He had to take everything apart and start over. I imagine this will be a fortune in labor once the warranty lapses.
General comments?
The vehicle is roomy and comfortable for our family. I'm a fan of manual transmission, and this seems to be something rare in a vehicle this size. I enjoy all the features.
