I decided to start this thread anew since the previous one sort of got hi-jacked. My local (non-Saturn) mechanic just gave up on this. My 2000 LS2, with like 260,000 miles, has been acting oddly in the automatic transmission category. Symptoms are sort of steady. I drive to work 50 miles each way...

Hate to follow another tranny question, wouldnt want to give anyway wrong ideas about Saturns. I have well over 250,000 miles on my 2000LS, automatic, six cylinder. I recently got new tires at my local garage and mentioned the service light was coming on. He did a check and said it was the...

My wipers are sticking to the windshield on my 2000 LS. Im afraid the unit will break. It's happened to me twice in very cold weather but now it's happening in light rain. What arms-blades should go on this? Should trhe driver's side be shorter? The one i have now bumps the window frame pretty...

Hi all, great to find this group! I'm a total car idiot who got a real nice sharp dark green SW2 a while ago, and love it. But I've now got a noise coming from one of my wheels, or something associated with them. It sounds like it's one of the front wheels, maybe the left front. At...

Well, it happened. My Son was driving the Vue last night when the transmission (VTi) went belly up. The only two functions that work are Park and Neutral. Placing it into forward or reverse does nothing (no bad noises either). Fortunately GM extended the warranty on the transmission to...

Well courtesy of GM, I have conducted a simple experiment on of the effect of tire pressures on gas mileage, at least for one vehicle and one set of tires. My Vue, when delivered, had a recommended tire pressure of 30 mpg all around (which I maintained). After the vehicle flunked the NHTSA...

Well I did some pre-winter maintenance on my 2003 4 cylinder/CVT Vue today. I changed the front brake pads and have to say it was the easiest brake pad replacement I've ever had to do. I purchased replacement GM pads and they came with the proper clips. The original pads were not actually worn...

Well we had an exciting problem with a Vue at the apartment complex where I live last night. About 2 AM the horn starts sounding. It wakes me up. At first I am worried it is one of my cars, so I get dressed and walk out to look. Not my cars, and I can't really tell where the noise is coming...

Opel Antara will be next Saturn Vue By Jason Stein and Dave Guilford Automotive News Europe / September 12, 2005 FRANKFURT -- The Opel Antara GTC mid-sized SUV unveiled by General Motors on Monday at the Frankfurt auto show is more than just a concept. It is the next Saturn Vue.

I have a 2003 Vue with 31,000 miles. Mine is the AWD 4 cylinder with the discontinued CVT transmission. I've had it in for warranty work a couple of times. The biggest concern I have is the CVT transmission, but they exented the warranty on that. I had to have rear suspension members replaced...

Has anyone actually had the rear suspension on their Saturn Vue updated in the aftermath of the announced recall? Regards, Ed White

Hello, My son has a 94 SC1. The motor mount on the top passenger side of engine (Torque Axis Mount) threads in the engine are stripped, all three of them. That side of the engine just drops down and rests on the frame. The bolts are ok but the threads in the block are stripped. He called the...

I own a 1992 Saturn SL1. My air conditioning has gone out one me. I figured out that it was low on refrigerant and that was causing the problems, but when I tried to recharge it (R134a), the refrigerant didn't stay in the system. The pressure gauge showed no pressure, even after 3 cans! And,...

Got a 200 sl1 and Saw these on sale at my local Canadian Tire for 4 bucks off a package of 4. I tried them out and defiantly an improvement in torque and smoother acceleration (5 speed manual and tons of hiway driving). I should also note I changed my PCV valve which was grungy and oily so...

Have had this checked by a mechanic, he checked it out and couldn't figure it out. So he went online to Saturn, they told him to look for some things. He checked those, but it didn't help, it still rattles. It has plenty of power, gas mileage around town is 29mpg, freeway 33mpg.It dosen't burn oil...

"Check Engine Light" comes on from time to time. I've had a mechanic check it with his diagnostic computer it said the EGR vavle was bad, he replaced it, about a year later the check engine light came on from time to time. Then it was the O2 sensor, it was replaced. As I said, the light is on again...
