GM after bankruptcy: GM's transaxle (cvt M75) in this vehicle is known by all owners to fail. This unit failed to provide forward momentum and left the vehicle stranded high heavy traffic in portland, or year April 2019. Multiple calls to GM found that service providers couldnt even id the proper trans axle that goes in this vehicle so we could get a replacement. We believe GM is in process of a new "class action suite" to repair damages to the second owners. Is, this true - let us know if you know - please thx. This trans axle was built damaged.

I started my Vue to go to work and it sounded normal. As I backed out of my driveway and put it in drive it was good. As I started to speed up the transmission would not go out of 1st gear. I couldn't get it to go any faster than 20 mph. Had it tested by a mechanic on 4 different machines. No codes! mechanic said I need a new transmission!

So I bought this car from someone on craigslist and was told the car was in great shape and the history report mentioned a possible transmission issues but I was also told the transmission was replaced not too long ago by the owner who had the car before the guy I bought it from. Well after having the car for 2 days, the subframe cracked which was a $700 fix and took me months to come up with the money and my car was not driveable at the time. I got the Vue from the shop maybe 2 weeks ago and now the transmission is going. When I put the car in reverse it either doesn't move or gives me a lot of trouble moving. When I pop it into drive it either doesn't move, gives me trouble moving, goes into reverse, or will make a loud noise and jerk aggressively before driving. I took the car to get looked at and was told it had one of the original cvt Saturn transmissions and it will need replaced. The problem is the transmission is near impossible to find and cost most than the car is worth and more than I even paid for the car, according to the mechanics I took the car to. Apparently this is a common problem and even caused a lawsuit with Saturn and GM. Since the problem is with the type of engine Saturn used, I didn't know if I could get it replaced like most of the people in the lawsuit did. I am a broke and struggling college student and other than the transmission this car is in great condition. I am worried I will be driving ti one day and the car will stop working and I'll crash.

March 11, 2010 the transmission in my Vue was not running properly. I had it towed to the dealer who had determined that my Vue fit in the vit transmission "recall". a new one was installed for 50% of the regular price. March 11, 2017, yes 7 years to the day, my transmission begins slipping, smoke is coming from under the car. The car will not move in either drive, reverse or overdrive. The car was acting like it was in neutral. I do believe a transmission should last for more than 7 years. First transmision had 95605 miles and this one 108095 miles on it.

Hello, I am proud owner of a 2003 Saturn Vue and am the 2nd original owner. This past September when I was doing some work in the yard I had my Vue parked in the driveway.. next thing I know is that is popped out of gear(parking brake cable had broken prior to this) and it took a "minor" shot on the drivers side. Scratching the fender, turn lights, and bumper cover. The ignition has always been a little weird since I purchased it however, it make more sense know. Until I get it fixed I always keep it in reverse and now had the parking brake fixed. I would ask GM to look at, repair my ignition, as well as fixing the front of the car. It was only going a few miles an hr but this I always took great care of it and now it as that bump on the front. I will be making an appointment at the closest GM dealer to me (which happens to be almost 20miles away) to have that ignition thing fixed asap. Thanks for your understand and I look forward to doing business with GM in the future. Thank you. -[xxx] in pa information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
