Re: 2002 VUE Horn and Ignition [slimrizzo]

Written by: tarmns on Jul 13, 2007 06:24 AM

I appreciate the feedback. I just can't believe that Saturn doesn't want to work with us at all on this, and I too, will probably need to drive without a horn (which can be very challenging at times, depending on other drivers around you, until we can come up with something. It's been very helpful hearing all the other Saturn owner's experiences with such a ridiculous ... Read More...

Re: 2003 Saturn Vue [tarmns]

Written by: flyingdragon on Jun 27, 2007 05:20 PM

I had the same problem on my 2002 Vue. The bad news is that the horn switch is integrated into the air bag assembly, so replacing the horn switch requires replacing the entire assembly (I was past warranty). It's a poor design for sure. The good news is that my dealer agreed and supported my assertion that I shouldn't have to pay for the consequences of a poor design. ... Read More...

Re: Hard Shifting Problems With 2003 Saturn L200 [hdgt93]

Try changing the air filter. I went to the dealer for an oil change on my 2002 L200. They checked the air filter. It was old, but I declined, opting to change it myself. After I left, I had all those symptoms - hard shift, cooling fan always on high, strange idle speeds. After I got home, I checked the air filter. The rubber seal around the edge was dryrotten and split, ... Read More...

Trouble Starting

Written by: viegas99 on Dec 12, 2006 07:15 AM

Hello, I have a 2002 Saturn SL2 and am having difficulty starting it. The engine is turning over and the starter is fully cranking, but the engine doesn't fire up. It sounds like it is almost starting, but doesn't. The car has been sitting in a cold garage in MN for about 10 days and hasn't been started, but was starting perfectly fine when it went into the garage. Any ... Read More...

Starting problem with 2002 Saturn LS

Written by: mzkattitude on Dec 05, 2006 05:47 PM

Well I was finally able to take the car in to a Saturn dealer, and the problem was the BCM, which they replaced for $500. I just picked it up today, and it seems to be running fine. Hopefully it's all smooth sailing for now. :shades: Read More...

I feel your pain on this one :mad: I have the same problem sometimes with my 2001 SL2. I bought the car used with not even 30,000 miles on it because people said Saturn built good cars, I was mislead big time. The people at the dealership tell me nothing is wrong and that the car is fine, bull. I thought it was a certain kind of gas I bought, it wasn't that, they say I shouldn't ... Read More...

Starting problem with 2002 Saturn LS

Written by: mzkattitude on Nov 15, 2006 05:16 PM

I have been experiencing starting problems with my 2002 Saturn LS (44000 miles) for the past few weeks. The car will run fine, but after parking and restarting, it will turn over and die. The powerlocks or alarm will not work, and the gearshift will not come out of park. If you let it sit for 4-5hours, it will start like nothing happened :confuse: , and it does not shut ...

Re: 2002 L300 Turn Signal Problems [jimfinnegan]

Written by: eejay on Oct 09, 2006 00:12 PM

Has anyone had any luck changing the relay on 2002 Saturn Vue? I was able to pull the hazard (flasher) button out of the console & see the assembly & light bulb, but there was no way it seemed like it was going to be snapped out. We've been having the same problems with the turn signals as the original poster. Thanks. Read More...
