I bought a 2003 Saturn Vue last year with 78000 miles on it. The motor had to be replaced after 3 months. Then the whole car had to be rewired 3 months later. and now the transmisson is going out, , Are you serious? I am a single mom and I thought this would be a great car boy was I wrong. If you dont like spending lots of money on repairs I would stay far away from this car.

I purchased a 2003 Staurn Vue AWD about 2 years ago. I am extremly angry and frustrated with everything about this vehicle. My car is currently in the shop to replace or fix the transmission, but after reading all the complaints on this weeb site, I am wishing the damn thing would just blow up. I have been told that GM will pay 50% of the repair, or $5000 towards a new GM vehicle. please let me state that the $5000 has to be used towards a BRAND NEW vehicle, not used. So I'm wondering what they are going to do about the $10, 000 that I still owe on it. And here's the kicker, I am now going to list for everyone the things I have replaced NOT fixed but replaced on this vehicle in the last 2 years.
1. Gas pedal
2. ignition
3. Steering wheel spring and gasket
4. passenger door lock
5. Back windsheild wiper motor
6. my whole drive train shaft
Now for the other things that need to be fixed besides the transmission
1. Gas tank ( doesn't read correctly)
2. Front drivers side windshield wiper motor
3. Window back driver side motor
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BUY A SATURN

I have a 2003 Saturn Vue with major transmission problems. I bought the car with 35000 miles on it, at 35990 the car starting making a grinding noise and found out the transmission was having problems, Saturn said they fixed it.

I drove to about 70000 miles and heard the same noise and took it to Saturn, this time the transmission had to be completely replaced. I thought at this time I was safe for the life of the car, because it had a new transmission. I am at 10300 miles and the same noise has appeared again. I called saturn consumer customer call line and was told to take it to a dealership and have it diagnosed. I did this and was told that the end cover needed to be replaced and that it could be flushed but this would only be at temporary fix. I called Saturn back and was told that the transmission needed to be completely replaced again and that it was out of warranty and they would cover half as a good will gesture and I would have to cover the rest. I asked how that could be when they had put a brand new transmission in at 70000 miles and it went out again. I also told them that I was aware that they have had severe problems with this model year car transmissions, the girl on the other line stated that was not true. I am at my wits end, I cannot afford another car, I still owe alot and cannot afford another one at this time. I am beside myself and don't know what to do. I thought I would come here to see if there was help out there that I did not know about that you could point me to.
