  Saturn Vue Lemon - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Never again - September 14 - 12:06 pm

  I bought my used 2002 Saturn Vue AWD in 2007 from a Saturn dealer in Downers Grove. It had 53,000 miles on it. From the start it had problems--a loud whining noise which was the vacuum. Then the ABS light went on, along with a fluid leak under the engine The service engine soon light went on with loss of power. I took it to a Saturn dealer in Savoy. They put in a new water pump/wheel speed sensors/hub assembly. That took care of some problems. I took it in seven times to get the service engine soon light and hesitation/loss of power problem solved. It never was solved and my engine ended up ruined with metal shavings in it. I need a new engine-big bucks. I will never buy a Saturn again.

  Have Never Been So Disappointed - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Ednava58 - April 20 - 2:00 pm

  I wish I never bought the 2002 Saturn VUE. When I first test drove it, it had no heat and it was in 12/02, before purchasing the car they promised to fix it. Well the dealer had my car more than I did and it became a joke at work and with friends. I would always hear, oh it is in the shop AGAIN. I told them I had transmission problems, of course they say there was nothing wrong. Well in 2008 I was still having problems with the transmission and the service manager checked my VIN and found out that I was ONE number away from getting a new transmission, but no luck. I lost all power one day entering on the highway, oh so many things went wrong with this thing they call a VUE.

  Still crying......................... - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Still Crying........ - June 12 - 6:46 pm

  I now need to replace the transmission for the 3rd time in my 2002 VUE. GM will assist with 30 percent but the transmission will cost more than what I owe on the car. It is hard for me to understand the cost of the transmission because GM is well aware the transmission was not designed well and there have been numerous failures of the transmission. Go figure I wanted to stay with American made. I will now have to park and pay for a car I can not drive but still responsible to pay for. Just shoot me!!

  The O.K. Saturn - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By ghmm - January 6 - 10:00 am

  The car has been in the shop for some just misc. items. The tabs in the handles keep coming out. The strut joint in the driverside front has been replaced and needs to be replaced again (design flaw). Service engine soon light came on @ 16000 mi. and they said it was my gas cap but I think its something else. The antenna also keeps coming loose.

  what a headache!!!! - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By ladymug - November 4 - 10:00 am

  i hate this SUV!!! the a/c leaks into my floorboard(now being fixed for the 2nd time) the intermediate steering shaft has been fixed twice for rubbing/squeaking, it was towed cause the ignition coil went, and most recently the c. converter had to be replaced, this does not include the 10 minor problems i have had with the car. youd think Saturn Corp. would care, but once you leave with the car, customer satisfaction does not matter to them, what a joke it has been thinking you could get somewhere if you talk to the big guys!!! youre lucky if they call you back!!! i cannot wait to go car shopping tomorrow, i am done with Saturn forever!!!

  Dont buy one - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By kevin - March 17 - 7:56 am

  I bought this car brand new, love the dealer hate the quality of the Vue. Here are just a few of the problems Ive had over the years. Struts went bad at 500 miles, car had to be towed at 1000 miles would not start burrs in the fuel rail bad abs the breaks stink, both O2 sensors are bad, crank case sensor went bad, gas guage works when it feels like it same with turn signals. Engine control module went out when driving 70 mph lost all control of everything including power breaks and steering. My wife was locked in the car not once but twice (how is that possible)? Car lost all power while driving in Atlanta on way to Florida, went to dealer was charged $85 for bad connection happened again.

  My experience & Opinion! - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By SoN_GoKu - September 21 - 10:00 am

  Do not purchase a 5speed manual... I was when shifting to 2nd gear from 1st, the clutch gave and made a loud pop sound. I was stuck @ the light, unable to move my VUE, so I had to Push it to a parking lot. The Saturn Mechanics adv. that a pin that holds a cable to allow gear shifting came out. It was put back into place, & I was adv that it would not happen again. I wanted to exchange my manual to an automatic (do not trust manual after incident) unfortunately no 4 cycle automatic VUES are out on the market @ this time. (TOO BAD) I returned my VUE. :-( I suggest people who purchase a VUE, get an automatic.
