2003 Saturn VUE AWD review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Transmission blew at 138,000 - $5800.
- 2nd transmission blew at 158,000 - covered under warranty.
- Transfer case - $2600.
- BTS system - $350.
- Back hatch broken - does not open - $400.
- Other regular maintenance - $2000.
General comments?
I am on my 2nd transmission in 2 years. The car is on its 4th transmission overall. I am appalled at the lack of accountability. VTI transmissions experience "issues" according to the dealership. I cannot even sell this car due to $12,000 in repairs in 2 years... NEVER AGAIN! I will never purchase a GM again!
