Problem overview

Some Saturn Vue owners report experiencing issues such as grinding brakes, which are often caused by worn brake pads that have lost their friction material. Additionally, some owners may encounter major oil leaks, which can necessitate inspection and repair by a qualified mechanic. Others have reported problems with the AC compressor, prompting recommendations for professional diagnosis and resolution. Furthermore, rough shuddering at high speeds has been noted, potentially linked to suspension issues, engine troubles, or transmission problems. It is crucial for owners to address these concerns promptly to ensure the safety and performance of their vehicle, and seeking assistance from a qualified mechanic or dealership is advised.
