I am extremely angry at the fact that within a year I have already replaced 3 rotors and now a forth needed replace.Yes the parts are still under warranty but, the labour is not.This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned for being a parts pig. Replacing 2 sets of wheel bearings,needs a CV boot and shaft now. Prior to this had to replace the steering shaft and linkage..I also have occasional issues with the key not wanting to turn in the ignition. For that I have sprayed silicone spray that temporarily solved the problem which persists. You have to move the steering wheel in order to get it working, although it is still locked. When purchased the vehicle private sale I thought the tires were the cause of the front end whirling noise, when it was the wheel bearings itself.

I do not nor will not recommend this vehicle brand of any year to anyone ever. Had I done my homework here or elsewhere I too may of avoided this Turkey in the RAW. As soon as financially able will be selling this huge burden to someone else. Another issue had was when folded the rear seat on drivers side, it locked there and cannot get it to go up again. If I could afford to I would drive this to a now defunct Saturn dealer and set fire to it in the lot. No wonder they went & scrapped the brand. GM designed a horrible part eating machine. They are appealing in looks but the Saturn VUE should of had GM recall every vehicle and refund peoples money. Governments should of forced GM to recall and maintain every one for years until they created a better fix or taken them off the road..

New 2006 Saturn Vue Base line model bought new. At approximately 64000 miles experienced loud noise and vibration from the front right of vehicle. vehicle was taken to dealer to investigate and repair. No issue could be duplicated. Noise/vibration continued and worsed until it could be felt on both sides in the front and starting in the rear. Again it was taken to the dealer to investigate and repair. Dealer stated that it was the Tires and replaces them.

Noise continued after tire replacement. Vehicle was taken to independant mechanic; stated it was wheel bearings. replaced all four with factory parts. Vehicle was still under warranty so this was covered. at approximately 130000 miles, noise/vibrations started again. took vehicle back to independant garage--Wheel bearings--Parts still covered under warranty. No Charge. At 160000 miles, bearings go out again; complete lock up. car will not roll out of driveway after coming home from work. Vehicle is towed to independant mechanic and inspected for other damage. Spoke to mechanic regarding parts being used. Requested specific maufacturer for replacement bearings (TIMKIN) instead of manufacturer replacment (MOOG). Vehicle now has 265000 miles--no vibrations.
