The first year we had it it was fine. After 100000 miles it has been nothing but trouble. In the shop allll the time. Bad muffler, bad tire rods, bad breaks rotors, calipers, whole transmission went out, engine sounds like its about to blow any minute. I still have 2 years to pay on it and cant wait to get rid of it. Was just told by the mechanic today i need new wheel barrings. UgH!!!!

I have had this vehicle for less than a year. With in that time it has been in the shop more than I can count. I have put over $2,000 in repairs with in the past 6 months. All of the parts that were needed had to be purchased from the dealer as they don't sell after marker parts as it is too new and they "ASSUME" you wouldn't need to replace parts. The main problems are in the front end. I have replaced both sway bars,axle boot, muffler ($610), battery, rear wiper, not just the blade as you MUST buy the entire wiper as well as they don't sell just the blade. It looks like a very sharp vehicle but mechanically it is bad news.

A DRIVE WITH A VUE

I have had my Vue for 14 months and have not experienced any mechanical or electrical problems. The V-6 is a very good engine and has plenty of power. It handled great in the snow last winter. The only complaints I have are the tires seem to be wearing out faster than I would have anticipated even though they are filled with nitrogen gas and maintains the recommended pressure in both hot and cold weather. The rear cargo cover gets in the way of hauling larger items. I like the exterior and interior styling. I'm glad I got the V- 6 AWD. I did my research before I bought and was a little scared that the 4 cylinder would not be powerful enough for the weight of the vehicle
Enjoy the Vue

My Vue handles great, especially in the snow. It has ample power, but I do wish there was some way to have that power and get decent gas mileage at the same time. The interior is quiet and comfortable, although on longer rides the seat hurts the backs of my legs. Cargo space is impressive for a small SUV - has more room than my husband's BMW X3. I do wish I had a sun roof.
Really Disappointed

This is my third and probably last Saturn. My new VUE XE has been in the shop 4 times in 6 months: tachometer went out, CD player quit working, alternator went out, and electrical cluster failure (no turn signals, tachometer/odometer not working,etc.) Loved the updated exterior, overall handling and vehicle feel, but after repeated problems with this vehicle, I am in the process of getting rid of it as I simply will not own an unreliable brand-new SUV, as this has sadly become. I would not currently recommend the VUE to anyone, and I have been a loyal Saturn customer for over 10 years (previously owned the SL2 and L200 with no major troubles).
