2004 Saturn VUE review from North America
"Very affordable, a lot of car for the money, however, serious safety concerns have now been raised."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Problem with Rear axle in reverse. Dealer recall.
Roll over accident (2.5 times). Side curtain airbags did not deploy. Front Driver, and Front Passenger airbags did not deploy.
General comments?
This car performed admirably.
The Maker set self imposed recalls to address safety concerns.
I had plenty of room, and the cabin was very efficient.
I paid extra for Side Impact Curtain airbags and they did not deploy when I felt they should. Which causes me to ask: Just how much force is required to set these airbags off? Is a multi-rollover accident not enough?
Roll over accident (2.5 times). Side curtain airbags did not deploy. Front Driver, and Front Passenger airbags did not deploy.
