| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have been having continual all wheel drive issues with my 2003 saturn vue. it has been stuck in both sand and snow of moderate depth and been unable to drive out under it's power. i have had it to the dealer a number of times and now i am told that the problem is in fact a "safety feature". the feature nearly resulted in a serious collision with a snow plow when my vehicle became stuck in only 4" of snow. i am being told by other vue owners that they have experienced similar problems associated with both the transmission and rear differential bearings. i bought an all wheel drive vehicle and paid extra for this feature. i am now saddled with vehicle that does not perform as advertised and has already caused a near disaster. i have reported my problem to saturn and the dealer. a formal file has been started. no repair has been made since satrun claims this to be a "safety feature" per the service manager at the frederick saturn dealership. it is not safe and will result in additional problems. *jb |
