2003 Saturn Vue Suv 4-door 2.2l Clean on 2040-cars
Saint Cloud, Minnesota, United States
|
2003 Saturn Vue, Clean interior and exterior, 203,000 Miles. Runs and drives but transmission squeals and slips in drive. I have driven it down the highway and it gets up to highway speed but has trouble shifting. Engine is healthy I've attached links to videos of a test drive as well as a video showing the engine is in great health. No oil in coolant or coolant in oil, no smoke from tailpipe and no pinging or knocking from engine. I've included pictures of small scratches and dings, as well as a small missing piece of plastic in the front wheel well. Bought this car from an auction thinking at had brake issues and needless to say I was wrong. Will need new transmission (about $300-500@ junkyard) or a rebuild of the current one. I have taken videos of the car running, and driving, but cannot post links on ebay. You can email me for links to see the videos of the car running and driving. It's a great clean car, but I just cannot fix transmission issues. My loss is your gain. Certainly some room for profit, or a great car to drive for someone that can drop a transmission. Does have a Prior salvage title for the mechanical issues, meaning its road legal, safe and needs no inspection. You can even finance a Prior salvage car. This vehicle has no structural damage. Vehicle CAN be driven home, but I would suggest towing or shipping it. Car is pictured without plates, I'm waiting for the plates and registration in the mail form the DMV which will be any day now, meaning you wont have to pay for plates or registration for a full year. Feel free to come and have a look or ask any questions. Open to reasonable offers. Call or text 320-4nine2-3two12 anytime. |

Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has closed its investigation into faulty electric power steering motors affecting 334,728 Saturn Ions from 2004-2007, because General Motors has issued a recall for them. The group's research found that the part failed at a high rate in the vehicles.
GM recalled over 1.3 million vehicles a few weeks ago, including the Ion, because the power steering could suddenly fail. If broken, the cars could still turn, but it took greater effort. The automaker is also covering 96,324 2003 Ions with a lifetime warranty for their motors, but it's not immediately replacing them.
NHTSA opened its investigation into the motors in September 2011, and it found 4,787 complaints and 30,560 warranty claims that showed failure for the Ion alone. It estimated a complaint rate of 14.3 incidents per 1,000 vehicles and warranty claim rate of 9.1 percent. The investigation also found evidence of 12 crashes caused by loss of steering, two of which resulted in injuries.
NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers
Fri, 08 Jun 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.
Report: Saturn owners offered $2,000 to stick with GM products
Mon, 15 Feb 2010After its decision to euthanize Oldsmobile, General Motors knows exactly what happens when it mothballs one of its brands: GM loses market share to the competition. The General is trying to stop history from repeating itself with Saturn customers by offering $2,000 on the hood of every car and crossover donning the ringed planet badge. Automotive News says the offer actually started on February 2 and runs until the end of March. To be eligible for the $2,000 bounty Saturn owners must have leased or purchased their Saturn at least six months ago. Interestingly, those owners don't even have to turn in their Saturn to be eligible for the cash.
AN reports that research company R.L. Polk says even before Saturn went on the endangered species list, it lagged other GM nameplates in the all-important aspect of customer retention. The mass exodus from Saturn loyalty predictably intensified at the end of 2008 as customers became anxious over the future of the brand. For its part, GM insists that all Saturn warranties will be upheld and customers looking for service can still go to a GMC, Chevy, Buick or Cadillac dealership.
