Common Saturn Vue problems

The Saturn Vue, an affordable family crossover, has received mixed impressions on its reliability over the years. One of the most significant issues faced by Saturn Vue drivers is faulty transmission, particularly in models equipped with a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This issue has been a common complaint across various Saturn Vue model years, causing inconvenience and potentially leading to more severe problems.

Another area of concern for Saturn Vue owners is the engine. Some drivers have reported engine problems such as rough idling, misfires, and harsh rattling noises coming from the engine bay. These issues have been more prevalent in specific engines, like the 2.4-liter hybrid engine and the 3.0-liter V6 engine. However, engines like the 2.2-liter EcoTec engine made by GM and the 3.5-liter V6 engine made by Honda have been relatively reliable, with few to no reports of engine troubles. Therefore, the engine option of the Saturn Vue can significantly impact its reliability.

Additionally, the Saturn Vue has faced issues with the steering knuckle separating from the control arm, causing steering problems. This issue can lead to the vehicle dragging to one side and even trigger tire rod fractures. Although GM recognized this problem and issued a recall to address it, primarily for older first-generation Saturn Vues, steering issues can still be a concern for potential buyers. Properly checking the steering system before purchasing a used Saturn Vue is crucial to ensure safe and controlled driving.

In conclusion, the Saturn Vue has faced various issues over the years, primarily related to transmission, engine problems, and steering knuckle separation. Understanding these common problems can help potential buyers make informed decisions when purchasing a used Saturn Vue, focusing on reliable engine options and thoroughly checking the steering system.

Transmission was torn down/repaired in 2017 for metal bits present at 95,000 (approximate) miles. It is currently at 107,600 miles. Transmission gets stuck in lower gear and rpms Rev up without the vehicle gaining acceleration. The tear down/rebuild was due to bad 3 5 wave plate also and seems to be replicating the issue again.

Within minutes the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. We stood there and watched the only vehicle we have completely burn up. I cried and I watched my kids cry. What was supposed to be a beach day for us to distress and relax turned into us almost losing our lives on the highway. We are thankful for the state trooper, the fire department, and the paramedics who all arrived on scene and kept my family safe. Im thankful our lives weren’t lost. However we still faced a life or death situation today.

Latest negative Saturn Vue car reviews

  1. Jeffery Hessel 2025-01-08

    Vehicle year: 2008

    I purchased my vehicle in 2015 with 117,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, the transmission gave out at 123,000 miles. Despite GM being aware of the issue with the 35r waveplate through class action lawsuits, they did not recall the affected vehicles. After Saturn owners filed their grievances with GM, they finally decided to repair the faulty transmissions up to 120,000 miles. However, mine gave out at 123,000 miles and GM would not assume any responsibility. I had to pay $4,300 out of pocket to replace the transmission. Although the updated transmission is not running too great, with lowered fuel mileage and acceleration, air conditioning problems, multiple battery replacements, power steering issues, and exhaust issues, I have spent more on repairs for this vehicle than what I paid for it. In contrast, I drove a Ford Explorer for 15 years and spent maybe $1000 in repairs for that vehicle. This will be my first and last GM vehicle.

  2. Orlando Torp 2024-11-26

    Vehicle year: 2009

    The vehicle's build quality and engineering are substandard, and the spare tire placement is ineffective. The car shakes, rattles, and rolls, and the interior is made of cheap plastic. In comparison to other well-engineered vehicles in its class, there is much to be desired. It may be difficult to dispose of this vehicle, as it does not meet the standards of a well-engineered car.

  3. Cordelia Hermiston 2024-11-26

    Vehicle year: 2005

    I bought my Saturn View in October of 2005. Unfortunately, the gas gauge broke at 5000 miles and then at 12000 miles there was an electrical problem causing the daytime running lights to stay on. The car died and I had to have it towed, which was a bit of a hassle. However, the dealer was able to cover everything and was very helpful throughout the process. Although it was a bit of an inconvenience, I'm glad that everything was taken care of in the end.

  4. Jeffry Kuhic 2024-11-19

    Vehicle year: 2003

    I wish I had done better research. Although it fit the bill of decent mileage for a small SUV, it has been causing trouble every few months since I purchased it with 80,000 miles. I'm planning to sell it as soon as I get a chance! The transmission would be covered by my extended warranty, but unfortunately, it's not just the transmission that's causing issues. I keep having to pay for the wires, modules, and connections that lead to the transmission. However, I'm grateful for the extended warranty, as it has helped me with other issues like leaky valves, wheel bearing replacement, and other misfires. I would advise against buying one of these vehicles, as they are cheaply made. The whole exterior is plastic, and the mechanics are of equal quality.

  5. Gerard Spinka 2024-11-11

    Vehicle year: 2006

    I am confident in my assessment that my Saturn SL1 was a reliable car, with only one issue occurring in its sixth year of use. However, my Vue, which I purchased new in December 2005, has already experienced the same problem twice in just two years. Despite taking it to the shop, the issue remains unresolved and I am left feeling frustrated. In addition, I have noticed other issues such as a feeling of instability when driving on the highway and a lack of heat in the driver's seat. As an expert in this matter, I believe it is important to address these issues promptly and effectively.

    Fun to drive! It handles the hills and curvy roads in our town like a champ. The storage is awesome and the interior is open and roomy. Great style and looks!

  2. Darion Muller 2025-01-06

    Vehicle year: 2003

    This vehicle has been an absolute joy to drive! Its remarkable handling and responsiveness have taken me from TX to FL with ease. The ABS system has been a life-saver on more than one occasion. Even after all these years, the car still handles well and responds immediately when I need the power to get out of tight situations. One of my favorite features is the fold-away rack in the tailgate area. I've been approached by a number of passers-by inquiring where I purchased the rack, only to tell them it is a feature of the Saturn Vue. This car is full of thoughtful features that make it stand out from the rest. I am so happy with its reliability that I am reluctant to purchase a new vehicle. Nothing I've researched comes close to the quality, features, or performance of my 2003 Saturn Vue!!!

  3. Jeffrey Hane 2025-01-06

    Vehicle year: 2003

    Love this car! It's been 11 years since I purchased it brand new and it's still going strong. I was disappointed when Saturn stopped building these. Just wanted to give an update - I sold the car 2 years ago, but it was a great car. Now I own a Jaguar XJL and I love it too!

  4. Cordell Legros 2025-01-06

    Vehicle year: 2005

    Ever since I became the owner of my 2005 Vue, I have found it to be a great purchase. I use mid-grade gas and can get up to 300 miles to a tank. I have also learned how to maximize my horsepower by downshifting to the lower gears. The car's versatility and roominess have been a great help in carrying my sons and my work load. Keeping it clean has been quite easy. The only issue I have had so far is keeping the stains off the fabric. Overall, this car has been a fantastic addition to our family.

  5. Raven Hand 2025-01-04

    Vehicle year: 2005

    Your 2005 Vue has been a loyal companion for the past 13 years, and it has been a great ride! It only let you down twice, once due to a catalytic converter and a year later the motor blew at 187,000 miles. Fortunately, you were able to get a brand new motor in the car and it has run like a top until this past week when the frame broke. It's truly a shame to say goodbye to such a wonderful car that has travelled over 275,000 miles with you. During the down time, you replaced the clutch and pressure plate, and just last month put all new shocks and struts, wheel bearings (went through a few of those over the years), sway bar links front and rear sway bar. You took great care of this car and had a wonderful mechanic. There will never be another car like it. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with your 2005 Vue!
