I have unfortunately owned my Saturn 2004 Vue for 2 years. The first 3 months of having it, after having to replace my 2003 Vue for all the problems it had was in the shop the first 4 months of purchase. The power engine failure light would go on and I would lose all power to the car. They had no idea how to fix it. Then the back windshield shattered. The gas mileage is horrible and the whole gas tank and odometer has had to be replaced. I would feel the car up with gas and the odometer would go to full and move back up to half full. The car is in the shop again for throttle and engine problems again. Have had the real displeasure of working with a very rude lady at Saturn by the name of marcia who clearly does not care about ones safety in their vehicle. According to Saturn the newer vehicles have had these problems fixed. However, I must say having been a Saturn owner for 12 years now my faith in their product is gone.

On 5/1/04, the vehicle was taken to Saturn service because the fuel guage read that the tank was 3/4 full after vehicle was filled up. The sending units were replaced. On 6/28/04 the vehicle was again taken in for service because the fuel guage read that it was about 1/8 full when there was less than 1 gallon of fuel in the 15 gallon tank. Saturn service checked the vehicle and said that there was no problem with the fuel guage. On 9/8/04 during ruch hour, I was travelling at high speeds on the freeway with my 8 week old son when the vehicle ran out of gas. The guage read that there was almost 1/4 tank of fuel left. I was stranded in the fast lane during rush hour on a 106 degree day with an 8 week old infant because the fuel guage on my Saturn Vue did not read the amount of fuel left in the tank. Two highway patrol officers had to close the freeway and push the vehicle off the freeway. Without their immediate assistance, there could have been a serious accident. On 9/9/04 Saturn service checked the vehicle again and said that there was not a problem with the fuel guage and the tank had 2. 5 gallons left of fuel. Only when a service technician drove the car and was stranded when it ran out of gas did the service department take the claim seriously.
