#73 of 170 2003 Saturn Vue by sjhull Dec 05, 2007 (7:37 pm)
I have a 2003 Saturn Vue 5 Spd. Recently my service wrench light and my air bag light intermittently came on. I called my dealership and the service advisor immediately told me my BCM needed to be replaced. I took the car in and the technician reprogrammed the BCM. As soon as I picked up the car, the lights came back on. Then I went back to the dealership. They called me and said the the BCM and the SDM might need to be replaced but they had to replace the BCM first. SO they did that and told me the car was fixed. It did not require and SDM. As soon as I picked up the car, the lights are on constantly now. I am so frustrated. Help! I asked the service advisor to test the BCM to ensure that it needed to be replaced. Now he is telling me that even if the BCM is not the problem because the put it in my car, I am stuck with it. The are telling me the SDM is $600 more than the $440 I just paid for the BCM. The service advisor told me he had seen lots of these cars (03 Vues) with the same problem and that the BCM usually fixed it. Well usually just cost me $440. Any advice?

#74 of 170 Bad Design? by selof Dec 10, 2007 (8:11 am)
Just to let others know...I just had to replace the heads on my 2002 V6 AWD Vue (67,00 miles). Apparently there is an engine cooler inside the engine that failed (Dex Cool degrading gaskets?) and the engine oil mixed up a nice new frothy product in combination with the Dex Cool and spread through out the engine/cooling system. Disgusting and very expensive mess!    I understand that this engine was only used in 2002-03. I had wanted to drive this car for another 3-4 years - now I don't trust it.
#75 of 170 03 VUE V6 AWD Rear Window Defroster by aferguson Dec 17, 2007 (1:35 pm)
My wife has 03 V6 AWD. It has been a good vehicle. Recently tried to activate rear window defrost and light indicator flickers. When rear defroster activated automatic door locks do not work from either remote key or the switch on the doors. When I deactivate the rear defroster switch everything works. Fuse is good. Any Ideas?? We also had rotors replaced at 17K and 30K. Dealer did not want to cover under warrent. VUE now has 50K. My opinion is the rotors are too small for vehicle and warp under heat caused during braking and next time I will replace them myself with after market rotors which are 1/2 the price. According to dealer front brakes only good for 30K miles
#76 of 170 abs/transmission problems by mwa812 Dec 19, 2007 (5:43 pm)
Here's a good one. When my ABS engage, my transmission will not engage immediately after the vehicle comes to a stop. Took it to Saturn and they have no clue what could cause such a thing, ( although they can duplicate the problem) Has anyone had such a problem ? 2004 AWD with 100,000 Was thinking could it be the voltage level on the battery ?
#77 of 170 Steering column noise by kam751 Dec 24, 2007 (12:38 am)
I own a 2003 Vue and have recently experienced noise in the steering column when I turn the steering wheel, especially at slow speeds and tight turns. Do not have problem driving the car--not sure if it might have something to do with the power steering or some other problem. Any ideas? Thanks. Replies to this message: rob111 (Dec 25, 2007 5:46 pm)

Replying to: kam751 (Dec 24, 2007 12:38 am) Yes, sadly it needs to be lubricated. I had ours done at the dealer. Noise went away. Rob
#79 of 170 2002 Saturn Vue - Shift Knob has detached from Shifter by moretj Dec 27, 2007 (8:21 am)
The shift knob located in the centre console has detached from the transmission shifter. It can actually be removed. However, when in place the transmission functions properly (i.e. I can move it from park to reverse, neutral, drive etc.). When I spoke to the dealership they indicated that there may be a "C" clip to hold it in place but they weren't sure and wanted me to take it in to look at the boot and linkage (about 1 hour service). I don't think this is necessary and wanted to get some thoughts on what I could do to secure the shift knob to the shifter. I was thinking of just using glue. Any thoughts? Thanks.
#80 of 170 Burnt Smell - When temperature control turned to HOT by moretj Dec 28, 2007 (10:23 am)
Recently started noticing a burnt smell when the temperature control is turned to HOT. However, this smell is only noticeable when the vehicle is idling. When the vehicle is in motion the smell is not noticeable. Any ideas what the problem might be?
#81 of 170 2003 Vue Clutch Replacement by billiebee Jan 03, 2008 (10:40 am)
I have a 2003 2wd Vue with the 2.2 L, L4 engine. I need to replace the clutch. Is there a repair manual for this? At 124,00 miles, it is starting to chatter when cold. Replies to this message: 442dude (Jan 07, 2008 1:38 pm) steve_ (Jan 07, 2008 3:54 pm) 442dude (Jan 11, 2008 5:32 am)
#82 of 170 2002 Vue - Very Load Enigne Noise when accelerating during cold weather by moretj Jan 03, 2008 (11:29 am)
Temperature in Toronto has recently turned very cold ==> negative14 degrees celcius (10 degrees F?). I've noticed when temperature reaches these cold readings the engine is very very noisy upon acceleration. The noise doesn't seem to go away even after the vehicle is warmed up. Exhaust system is fine, with rear muffler replaced yesterday (small hole). Any suggestions. Thanks.
