Saturn VUE Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Oct | 2008 | 34720 | 0 | A "pinging" noise was heard when cornering right above 60kmh. The noise was traced back to a misaligned drivers front brake shield that was catching on the rotor a/o caliper. This might be related to the same wheel having had a new bearing installed prior Sunroof required alignment as the back drivers corner was not correctly seating when closed. There was no water leakage but the misalignment (about 1/64") was noticeable standing beside the vehicle. Loud wind noise from upper windshield area. More pronounced in cooler weather. Windshield was replaced (non dealer) in May 2008 due to a rock strike. Noise was not there prior to windshield replacement. Dealer/Windshield shop could not replicate noise. |

Intermittent in nature and is hard to pinpoint as it comes and goaes. Dealer says exhaust is intact! Noise is still there. Followup required again. |

| Sep | 2007 | 15000 | 0 | Sensor and hood latch After last engine software upgrade, I can run at high speed on highway for a while, then come off the expressway and Hybrid engine dies instead of just going to 'idle' stop. Mechanic was unable to recreate the problem but it has happened to me at least 6 |
| Mar | 2008 | 19000 | 0 | Hybrid 2007 Vue hood latch is out of stock. Previous repair personnel did not follow up at the factory. This time they called up several levels trying to get authorization to have a part manufactured. New Vue has different part!!! Campaign notification on 2 problems. One involves the battery system on the hybrid not charging properly. To repair they went over the entire charging system making some modifications and updated software. All done under warranty but takes 2 days at shop. |
| Nov | 2008 | 132 | The hood latch was finally replaced so that the car could get inspected. Apparently GM had to have several of these manufactured since the 2008's VUE has a different part. The annoying part was while the hood latch did not work the Hybrid was disabled. | |
