  Cheap and Unreliable - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Clo - February 13 - 11:46 am

  Fuel gauge problems, replaced brake rotors twice, electrical failure, deffective coolant cap burst on the road, now we have transmission problems. Wish we could replace the car now but we owe almost as much as the trade in value. The day this car comes off warranty is the day we trade it in. We try to buy American, but this car has shaken our confidence in American cars.

  An excellent vehicle for the money. Saturn made the buying experience very pleasant, and has given me excellent service.

  Reliable SUV - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Good Buy - November 10 - 3:46 pm

  I purchased my VUE new in 6/2002 for my wife. It became mine later and it has been very reliable/ no major problems. I average 22-23 MPG (50/50 CITY/HWY). The only problem we had was the belt tensioner froze at 30K/ replaced at no charge w/ a new belt. Very good in the snow and handles like a sports car.

  By CEpley - October 6 - 10:00 am

  This is my 3rd Saturn but my 1st SUV. Great handling, good design, solid feel on the road, great visibility, good gas mileage. Solid construction and no cheesy parts. Were very happy. Ive put 1000 miles on it in 3 weeks :)

  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.

  Dead Soldier - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By boyinblue - July 15 - 10:43 am

  Bought a Saturn 2002 VUE (V6) with about 100K on it for under $10K from a local dealership. The original owner put every bell and whistle on it. No issues for the first 2 years and then the parade of issues started. I understand the SUV had 100K on it but what started happening should not necessarily be expected The engine is horrible. It is my understanding that Saturn opted for a SAAB motor. I believe they has those engines until 2005. Nothing but issues. Leaking oil, burning oil, had gaskets replaced. Recently the 6th cylinder quit. We have sunk about $3500 to keep this car on the road. We should have dumped it within the first 3 years after purchase.

  Worth the Wait - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By MNuffda - July 11 - 3:00 am

  I ordered my VUE last April. I wanted to upgrade my 94 SW1 and was not willing to leave the Saturn service so I waited. After driving the VUE for a month, I have absolutely no complaints. With manual transmission, I have plenty of power. So far I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small SUV.

  Dont get one - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Vermont mom - July 3 - 10:00 am

  My 23 month old Vue already has over $2500 in repairs. A front wheel bearing went, and recently, I had to have the engine rebuilt and the sway bar replaced. The oil vent got condensate, froze and forced all the oil out my dipstick, oil light never came on, and it ruined my engine. Sway bar? never heard of THAT breaking.

  First time Saturn owner - 2002 Saturn VUE
  By Mary - June 11 - 8:06 pm

  I bought my Vue new and was hit twice within my first year, both times extensive damage was done. On both occasions, I had no sore neck or any other physical problems afterward. It was though I hadnt been in an accident. Id been T-boned and rear ended. Im extremely pleased with its crash protection qualities. I love my Vue, and hadnt experienced any real mechanical failures until around 100,000 miles. Then it was an O2 sensor, engine leak, and engine light staying on. It turned out to be the part that allows the diagnostics to work (forget name ). Five- hundred dollars later, it seems that only the light was bad. I now have 108,000 and wonder if I should sell it soon. No regrets!
