One problem related to front suspension hub has been reported for the 2004 Saturn VUE. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2004 Saturn VUE based on all problems reported for the 2004 VUE.
2004 Saturn Vue: at 50,000 miles the rear bearing / hub assemblies on both sides, start to fail. They gradually start making a lot of noise and need to be replaced before they either fall apart, lock up a wheel or cause an accident. I believe this should be a recall item and fixed under warranty.
