2002 Saturn VUE 2003 V6 AWD review from North America
"It's a LEMON and should not be sold"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since buying the 2003 V6 AWD Vue just over a year ago, I've had to make over 13 trips to the dealership for the following problems:
Series of loud metal popping sounds coming from underneath the truck when idle that remains a mystery to resolve by svc dept.
Replacement of wheel bearings (2 times)
Shaking caused by binding/grinding rear differential... replaced drive module.
Heated seats internally shorting and heating element replaced (replaced 2 times and 6 visits for this problem alone as each time they claimed seat was fixed, it was not... common problem was svc dept not competent to diagnose problem properly as well)
Right and left washer spray nozzle broken & replaced separately within a span of 1 week apart during dead of winter.
Replaced squeaky gas pedal 2x.
Faulty fuel gaug caused by corroded parts replaced 2x.
General comments?
I am so regretting my Saturn purchase and will never again buy a GM car. I can't believe the type of lemons Saturn produces as it sounds like the problems I'm experiencing are experienced by others as well.
