2003 Saturn VUE AWD review from North America
"UTTER NO! NO!... especially used"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Vue VTI transmission needs to be replaced... a day after I take it home and for at least the second time in its lifetime!
General comments?
We owned a Saturn SL1 for two years, it went 40K miles with only minor hitches. It was bought used and had been in a major accident. It goes without saying that we were happy with Saturn until now... We did not even have the Vue (56500) a day before it started making strange noises at low speeds. Granted it is a used car, but really this is just crazy. Based on other peoples' comments, I feel like I have just walked into my financial grave, I have a Saturn Vue Lemon. Wish I had read this before getting the car.
