“I own a 2006 Saturn VUE awd in the 2 years I have owned the car here is a list of what has been replaced; 3 set of front brake rotors due to excessive warping to a point where they cant be turned which resulted in a shimmy of the steering wheel when the brakes are applied that keeping control was almost impossible. 2)rear wheel bearings at 25,000mi. 3) front strut mounts also at 25,000 mi. …”

“We bought a Saturn VUE in june of 2006. 2 months after we purchased the VUE we had to bring it in for exhaust and converter and oxidation replacement. Then 2 weeks later we had to have the ignition lock cylinders replaced we could not start our truck. Then in 07 we had the converter and manifold replaced. We were told that the manifold was torqued to much from the manufacture. Then june of this year same issue with the exhaust and converter again. Say the replaced a spring in the converter.”

“Bought my 2006 Saturn VUE in july 2006 second day I noticed that the radio and onstar was very low with the volume turned up all the way. Took it back they replaced the radio. A few weeks later the radio went out completely they had to order a radio which took 5 weeks to get so I had no way of using onstar nor the radio dealership said it was a safety issue so they wouldn't put me in a loaner car. Got my VUE back 3 weeks later it went out again then came back on. They took it and reset it gave it back to me and it wont hold the time right and the volume doesn't work all the time now. …”
