2003 Saturn VUE review from North America
"Will never own another Saturn"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car was 3 months old I begin to have trouble. It would hesitate while in traffic. It now dies when driving in stop and go traffic. It will not shift into gear and the check engine and battery light come on. It has been in 6 times for the problem. They fixed something with the transmission the first two times. Now they have fixed the gas pump and a wiring that was not grounded. I think they are pulling at straws now. One week later it occurred again. This has been going on for a year and a half. Once the vehicle cools down for about 30 min. it will start again. Is anyone else having this problem?
General comments?
Saturn needs to stand by its products. What happened to its wonderful customer service reputation.
When I contacted the corporation they told me:1) how do we know it really happens. 2) if you don't like the service take it elsewhere. Not much help from them.
How can they justify letting someone drive off in a vehicle that is so unreliable and unsafe?
