30,000 miles of torture - 2002 Saturn VUE
By Not Happy - October 8 - 4:36 amWhere do I start. On my way to the airport the clutch went. Before and since it was fixed it is almost impossible at times to put into 1st gear, other times big problems shifting down to 2nd gear. Was informed that this was the way the car was designed, go figure. Air conditioning broke. Cap flew off windshield wiper fluid dispenser. Driver side door handle broke. Lid on console will never stay closed. There was a recall for something. Now it is in the shop once again to have the gear shift fixed also found out that not only does it need new brake pads but the rotors are rusted out and need replacing at a cost of $550. I dont want the car any more and am shopping around for a new one

Never Again! - 2002 Saturn VUE
By CronkM - May 24 - 10:00 amMy problems started about two months after my purchase with a minor problem. From there, I had a problem about every one or two months. I have had it in the shop nine times in the past year and a half for warranty work. I have had the same problem four different times in two different instances--the SES light and the front suspension system. Just this past weekend, both went bad again. I have notified Saturn customer service and the only thing I received for the bad quality of my car was a free monthly payment.

Worst Vehicle Ever Owned - 2002 Saturn VUE
By TL in Wichita - February 15 - 4:16 amThe only good thing about this car is the looks. Performance is good when it works. From the beginning, this vehicle has been in the shop for numerous maintenance issues from suspension, to leaking antifreeze, and many other problems. This car is so poorly built that as soon as it was paid off, I took it the following day and dumped it. Maintenance costs are very high. Was quoted $400.00 to replace a faulty thermostat because much of the engine would have be be broken down to get to it. Same with changing the spark plugs. I will never purchase another Saturn again. To think I traded a low mileage Camry for this piece of junk! I guess we all make foolish mistakes. I now own a Toyota again!!!

Buyer Beware - 2002 Saturn VUE
By Heather - January 2 - 1:23 amWhat a pile of junk. We traded in our Ford Escape for this and I wish we hadnt. This car has been into the service department 5 times for the stupid check engine light. We have paid them over $1000 dollars and the check engine light still stays on. The car will not accelerate and I was almost run down by a semi truck on I-25 due to this stupid problem. I will never buy a Saturn again!

Never again - 2002 Saturn VUE
By Lu - June 16 - 6:36 pmThis car has been a nightmare from the beginning. Seems like ever 3 months something strange and new goes wrong with this car. If I could afford it I would dump it today and buy anything else. Today my husband is coming back from a trip and just called me to say the check engine light came on, and it wont accelerate going up hills. Its okay on flat ground. What a mess, we have to go find another dealer.

Horrible! - 2002 Saturn VUE
By mres08 - April 4 - 3:21 pmWorst car ever. After owning for 1 1/2 years, I have to get rid of it. Have is the key word. It died on the highway. Nobody can tell me specifically whats wrong with it because theres about 8 different things wrong with it. The engine is about to go. There are brake problems, engine problems, thermostat problems, etc. I regret getting this car-- its had problems since day one. No wonder Saturns out of business. The reliability of their cars are seemingly terrible.

Glad thats over... - 2002 Saturn VUE
By Gregory - November 2 - 11:00 amI hate to bash this car, it got me around for bout 7 years and over 100k, but: This cars been my rival the entire time- Pros: This thing is pretty safe. I have been in 3 notable accidents (most recently fatally colliding with a deer) which have left me completely safe and confused that my vehicle had collided with something! Cons- This whole car (Including critical engine components) is made of cheap plastic, prone to dissentegrate and collapse in dire, drastic and expensive ways. Its all hunky dory til your engine almost seizes or your shifter breaks, leaving you in 1st gear and 30miles from the nearest soul. Thanks, Saturn.

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