Power Train Driveline Problems of Saturn VUE

Vehicle was recalled for torque converter. While in the repair shop it was found that the center support bearing for the drive shaft was comming apart, rubber bushing was seperating and needed to be replaced. I was told this is a common problem. Was also told the front lower control arm bushings were seperating. The cost for the bearing was between $450. And $500. Dollars, the control arm bushings repair would be $280. Dollars. I believe these parts are defective as the car only has 53,731 miles on it. The bearing defect will cause a vibration of the drive shaft as it becomes worse. The control arms will cause a clunk when going over bunps.

I would like to register a complaint about the 2006 Saturn Vue. The carrier bearing is defective on many of these vehicles, enough so that the manufacturer has reformulated the part. This hazard occurs in many vehicles with very low mileage. This is a potential safety problem and should be recalled, but as of yet, has not been by Saturn. The availability of this part is non-existent at this point. Please address this problem before anyone is injured by this defect. Thank you.

The contact owns a Saturn Vue. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle began to vibrate. Upon further inspection, he concluded that the drive shaft center bearing failed. He notified the dealer and was advised by a technician that the component was on national backorder. The parts are still unavailable; therefore, no repairs have been made. The vehicle identification number was unavailable. The failure and current mileages were 44,000.

This vehicle started having problems just 2 years after I bought it brand new. I have had the wheel bearings replaced 8 times. Each front one has been replaced 3 times and each rear once. Gm has not recalled the item and has in fact extended my warranty but this vehicle is obviously a lemon or the bearings should be recalled.

The contact owns a 2004 Saturn Vue. While driving between 35-40 mph on normal road conditions, the contact heard a noise coming from outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and they stated that the failure was due to the driveshaft carrier bearing. The part for the repair was unavailable due to the massive back order. The technician recommended that the contact not drive the vehicle due to the safety hazard. The vehicle remains inoperative due to the lack of repair parts. The VIN and mileages were unknown.

Carrier bearing replaced.

Strange noise from the rear end of the car. It is constant. The dealer does not know what it is. The car has less than 200 miles on it.

I purchased my new 2003 Saturn Vue from york PA Saturn (sutliff group) and they have patched up my 2003 Vue by replacing valves, sensors etc. On the vti transmission/transaxles 5 or 6 different times, which they well know will not fix the problem. I still experience transmission failure during extended periods of driving or times of traffic stop situations. I have experienced transmission problems from the 10,000 mile point on until this time. Does not shift properly into higher gear , still makes grinding noises while turning and accelerating and otherwise fails to operate properly. Transmission was looked at by dealer 5 times avoiding the issue of transmission replacement. Several close calls have invoked me to start a major campaign against the Saturn corp. Saturn is now being decided in the court system (cas) the final decision should be in the next few weeks so keep checking back on this and other sites that attract lemon vehicles! all I ask is for gm/Saturn to replace my faulty drive train (engine and transmission) free of all labor and parts with the new type drive train that is in the new 2007-08 Vue or replace with a new vehicle!!! its that simple Saturn! and until this happens this transmittal will continue on to websites, public posts, flyers, in front of Saturn dealers etc. Etc. . . Ps. I have copied just about every person and business that has exposure to intersections shopping malls etc. So tell all your friends, working colleagues, etc. Get the word out about gm/Saturn.

Cv joints were replaced at 22000 now againat 37000 I need to replace them. Front rotors were replaced at 22000 and again at 33000 timing belt at 20000 needed replacement I replaced the main computer controller in Aug 2006. This car is a piece of crap and I will never buy a Saturn again I bought this brand new off the lot in Jan 2003 and have had major things go wrong. I also need to now replace the tires ( dullers) at 37000 because I am hydroplanng all over the place. I had a loud sound from my passenger window that took 2 years to diagnosis and repair and the rear end was recalled and the cooling fan replaced at 24000.
