2002 Saturn VUE 2003 V6 AWD from North America - Comments

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.

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.

I bought a used 2004 Saturn Vue after owning Toyotas. I decided to try american cars; what a mistake. I will never buy an american car in my life.

I purchased a 2003 Saturn Vue new. It has been the worst car I have ever owned and I have had many, new, used, demos. Never would buy a GM again. All wheel bearings replaced, tires before 5000 miles, brakes rotors 8000 miles.

Transmission slips, will not fix, cannot duplicate.

Rear sway bars broke twice, front sway bars broke 3 times replaced.

Wheel bearing sensor replaced, heater sensor replaced, oil pan leaks.

Can you believe this, my brake pedal had to be greased at $80.00.

Oil plug replaced, oil filter housing replaced, rear cigar lighter quit working.

Car refused to start a month after purchase. Had to have a tow truck come out to repair.

Paid last payment of 320.00 and had to through 2000.00 behind that to keep it on the road.

This car is driven in town mostly, no off road, no teenagers, wife takes kid to school.

GM, it's not the first 30-60 days, it is the long haul for what a customer wants in a vehicle.
