  • Its been since 96 since i bout my 02 Vu - 2002 Saturn VUE
    By -

    I have never had a major problems with my Vue since i bout it in 006. I just now noticed i need to replace my sway bar witch cost 300 at dealership to replace. But that is it. I am sure like all cars the older it gets the more worn it becomes but that is pretty good. No emergencys. I like my truck alot but i would love to get my hands on that Outlook.. I LOVE the one.

  • Good car but not satisfy - 2002 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Love everything of the car and purchasing experence. Except for these: 1. carpet comes loose 2. Gas gauge shows wrong amount 3. Side of the panel makes a clicking sound when push 4. left fog light not secure. 5. The COMP on the mirror auto turns back on (this might be how it is supposed to work, but the problem is I asked the technicians, sales persons and 800 support number and nobody knows if its that way or something wrong.) I sold my old SL1 which had almost 100k. I know they are great cars just not sure if they rush out the VUE that cause the problems.

    Had it now for 8 years and the only problems I had was the Body Control Module and the Stabilizer links. The dealership wanted $750.00 Canadian total to replace the module. However I ordered the part in the US and saved $350.00!

  • Wish it was all positive - 2002 Saturn VUE

    My VUE is fun to drive and is thoughtfully designed for different uses. If it were not for the many repair issues in a new car, I would be Saturns strongest supporter. In my first 2 yrs of ownership, my VUE has repeatedly been in the shop (fuel pump & sensors, radiator, windshield, side panel rattle, etc). Saturn seems to rarely fix an item on the first repair trip (1 fix took 4 times). A number of times, they broke one thing while fixing another. Corporate customer care was a waste of time.

  • Thank God for the warranty!!! - 2002 Saturn VUE

    By the time I take my Vue in for the oil change every 3000 miles,I find something wrong with it. The last time the sensor had to be replace. Before that, I had to get something replaced that had to do with the emission or oxygen which made my Vue shut off in the middle of driving. The tranmission has been giving me trouble. And now, theres a screeching sound when I turn it on every morning. I took it to the dealer and of course, when they turn it on the noise disappears. Also, some part has been recalled or something and the dealer never has the part that has to replace it in. Its very frustrating. I should have bought a Toyota! Thank God for the warranty!!

  • Awesome ride - 2002 Saturn VUE

    Overall this vehicle "rocks". I love the way it looks and handles. The V6 is plenty petty and the 16" alloy rims are to die for. The interior is nicely equipped, love storage spaces. This SUV had everything I was looking for.

  • Pretty good, but... - 2002 Saturn VUE
    By -

    Overall, I like this vehicle. Dont like the tinny noise on the tailgate door. Sounds really cheap! Front end components feel flimsy but the steering is good. I have engine noise that sounds like a diesel but not as loud. Dont like the fact that you have to remove the intake system to do a tune up. Cost about double what most other cars would. Really dislike the transmission. Jerky, shifts to much, and passing gear puts the rpm through the roof, even when you just ease the throttle when passing. The AWD makes a loud terrible noise when it engages, but I understand thbat this is common. I think most of my complaints are minor compared to the overall performance of this vehicle.
