ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
THE ONLY "EVENT" WHICH LED TO THE FAILURE WAS ACCELERATING TO THEN MERGE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED/BROKE DURING ACCELERATION WHILE MERGING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. POWER WAS THEN LOST,THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE GOING DOWNHILL. THIS CAUSED LOSS OF FULL BRAKES AND STEERING WHILE THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP. THE CHAIN THEN DAMAGED MULTIPLE VALVES LEADING TO A POTENTIAL MINIMUM $2000 REPAIR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
SATURN 2003 VUE WITH VTI TRANSMISSION WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 10/02. AT 76,000 MILES WHEN ACCELERATING TO GET ON HIGHWAY, THE RPM'S WERE ROARING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS DROPPING. PULLED ON SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR AT 30 MPH A FEW MILES TO THE SATURN CREVE COEUR DEALER, WHO MET US GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, AND TOLD US HE COULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT OUR CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! DROVE SIDES STREETS 30 MPH TO SOUTH COUNTY SATURN DEALER WHERE PURCHASED. AFTER TEST DRIVING THEY STATED THEY THOUGHT THE RANGE SWITCH WAS BAD. NO LONGER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY IT WOULD COST $452 TO REPLACE. AFTER READ ABOUT OTHERS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, AND HAVING NEVER HEARD OF A RANGE SWITCH I AM LEARY OF SPENDING THE $452 ONLY TO HAVE THEM TELL ME THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. RECENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH IGNITION STICKING WHEN TURNING THE KEY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOME SWITCH THEN TOO AND THE NEXT DAY IT DID THE SAME THING. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW IGNITION AFTER THEY HELD THE KEY AND GROUND IT DOWN! I DO NOT TRUST THEM. CAR HAS NOT HAD A PROBLEMS THE PAST FEW DAYS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SATURN! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NOVEMBER SATURDAY 10TH, 2007, MY 2003 SATURN VUE MADE A GRINDING NOISE, I HEARD A POP THEN IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND COASTED DOWN THE HILL TO PARK IT. I CALLED SATURN AND DESCRIBED THE SITUATION. THEY SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD IT TOWED TO SATURN OF RENTON. NOVEMBER 13TH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED AND SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION BELT. I SAID OK, SO PUT A NEW BELT ON. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID, WELL THE "TRANSMISSION IS SHATTERED". I SAID "HOW ON EARTH DID THAT HAPPEN?!" HE TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION BELTS IN THE 2003 SATURN VUE'S ARE METAL, SO WHEN THEY BREAK, THEY SHATTER THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I SAID, SO THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION THEN. HE SAID, "YES, I SEE A LOT OF THESE". HE TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $5,500.00 PLUS TAX TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE SATURN COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. I OPENED A FORMAL CASE AND WAS ASSIGNED TO AN "ADVOCATE". THAT PERSON CALLED ME ON NOVEMBER 15TH AND SAID THAT BECAUSE IT IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION, THEY WOULD HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH ONLY TAKES $1,000.00 OFF OF THE REPAIRS. I SAID THAT WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH, SATURN NEEDED TO PAY THE FULL COST TO GET IT FIXED. MY "ADVOCATE" SAID THAT WAS ALL SATURN WOULD DO, AND I HAD 30 DAYS TO DECIDE IF I WOULD ACCEPT. SATURN WILL DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE. THEY EVEN INSULTED YESTERDAY (DEC. 11TH) WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE ME ONLY $500.00 ON MY SATURN VUE AS THE TRADE-IN VALUE! THEY SAID BECAUSE OF THE $5,000.00 TRANSMISSION JOB THAT HAD TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO RESELL IT. I SAID "THAT TRANSMISSION JOB WAS CAUSED BY SOMETHING YOUR COMPANY DID, NOT ME...SO NOW SATURN IS SAYING, IN ESSENCE, 'WE SCREWED YOU OVER ONCE, AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO SCREW YOU OVER AGAIN'. IT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN SATURN...I'D RATHER TAKE IT TO A JUNK YARD THAT GIVE IT BACK TO YOU PEOPLE!!!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WITHOUT WARNING, THE VUE SUDDENLY CAME TO A DEAD CRAWL WHILE ACCELERATING AND WAS ALMOST T-BONED. VUE PRACTICALLY DIED BUT THE ENGINE REVVED REAL HIGH. ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER LIGHT WERE ON. GOT THE VUE TO CRAWL HOME ANOTHER MILE. LATER, I STARTED THE CAR AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS. TEST DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK WITH NO PROBLEM DROVE VUE TO O'REILLY AUTO PARTS AND USED CODE SCANNER. THE CODE SCANNER (AUTOXRAY CODE SCOUT 2500) DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING MESSAGES; ENGINE LIGHT OFF, P1882 = RATIO CONTROL PERFORMANCE, P0701 = TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, RANGE/PERFORMANCE, P0700 = TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SUDDENLY WHILE ACCELERATING AND WITHOUT WARNING I HAD NO POWER. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON. NO POWER AND WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, ALMOST REAR ENDED. PICKED UP CODE SCANNER AGAIN AND TOOK TO VEHICLE. CONNECTED THE SCANNER AND READ THE SAME CODES AS ABOVE. THIS TIME TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY DISABLED. TOWED VUE TO SOUTH COUNTY SATURN IN ST LOUIS. THE DEALER CALLED NEXT DAY AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THERE ARE NO CODES. DEALER SAID THEY MUST HAVE CODES IN ORDER TO REPAIR PROBLEM. (THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC CODES THAT WILL DISPLAY REGARDING THE PROBLEM. WHEN TRANSMISSION FAILS CODES ARE TOO BROAD AND DO NOT INDICATE SPECIFIC PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO SENSORS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION THAT MONITOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEMS. I INSISTED THAT THEY TEST DRIVE THE CAR. RELUCTANTLY, THEY HAD A TECHNICIAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. LATER THEY SAID THEY PUT AN ADDITIVE IN THE TRANSMISSION AS PER THEIR TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND THEN THE TECHNICIAN BEGAN TAKING THE CAR HOME. THE PROBLEM IS THE ADDITIVE WILL TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM. OF COURSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT FAIL DURING THE WEEK LONG TEST DRIVE. THEY CALLED TODAY AND SAID WE HAVE TO PICK UP THE CAR AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FINE. NOW THE CAR IS A TICKING TIME BOMB WAITING FOR THE NEXT FAILURE. *TR
