Saturn Vue Overview and History
First launched in 2002, Saturn Vue received a facelift in 2005 when multiple exterior and interior parts were upgraded.
The 2001 Saturn Vue is the first generation of the 4-door SUV which is said to the Saturn's best-seller until the company came out with the Aura model.
During the 70s, GM, the quintessential American car brand, began having troubles with sales as the oil crisis gained in intensity. Their big gas-guzzling engines were no match for European and Asian imports and as a result the company's image suffered. To fight this, GM launched a new brand of cars, Saturn Motors, on January 7, 1985. The name was taken from the Saturn rocket, the one that carried the astronauts to the moon in the 60s.
An interesting fact is represented by the number who started out this company: 99 people from all backgrounds: design, production, marketing etc. known from that day on as “the 99”. OK, they started out as 100, but one of them dropped early on hence the 99.
Production of Saturn cars began in the early 90s and the purpose from the get-go was to emulate foreign marketing strategies such as the Japanese ones in order to put up a fight on the American market. Such strategies included better quality control which translated into better reliability of the finished product and more control for the workers in the plant.
Soon after the first cars hit the streets of America, favorable reviews start pouring in. Sales go well as Saturn cars start earning one award after another. In 1993, Saturn reported it's first profitable year and everything seemed to be going well for the small GM-owned brand. By 1995 they had made their first million cars. A unique feature on Saturn cars in the beginning were dent-proof body panels (Z-Body) but after 2000, they were slowly put out of production.
Also after 2000 GM starting taking a more active interest in Saturn as a company and interfered with its line-up and general policies. Today, most models in the Saturn line-up are copied after Opel cars, just like Vauxhalls are in the UK.
Starting with 2003, sales for Saturns began to dwindle which forced GM to retire several models like the L- series and the Ion. Latest reports say that GM is now looking to sell or even shut down Saturn in order to alleviate the financial pressure it's under at the moment.

2005 Saturn Vue Consumer Reviews

Sensor reduction
I purchased my VUE in July of 05.
I was driving one day in the city and notice I had no acceleration to go.
I notice that a light came on so I pulled over to check the owners manual and it said the sensor reduction light was one.
So I did what it said to do and when I turned my car back on, it ran okay.
I took it to the Saturn dealer and they told me it could be either the gas pedal or my wiring harness.
So we replaced my gas pedal..drove it home and not even w/in 24 hrs it did it again.
I called the dealeship again and they said its the wiring harness and that was going to be $ 700...has anyone had problems w/ their sensor reduction?
Looking for help..Not sure I trust this dealer..

My 2005 3.5L Saturn Vue
I bought this car for my wife because, (1) it has a plactic outer shell and never get's dimpled (2) supposedly it has a Honda Engine. It also had a 0.5% interest on the loan...what a deal.
It's just now giving some problems. Had to replace the middle drive-shaft support and spider bearing. Otherwise no major problems/issues after 120K miles. This is the first signs of major ware so I expect a little at a time as the mileage increases with more use. We use this car every day! I would buy/trade another with the same features....too bad they are no longer available.

AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
The most loved vehicle I Ever owned....
I purchased my 2005 Saturn when it was 2 years old and kept it until It was totaled in an accident 9 years later! ( 05/16/2016) "Hated It" It clearly was the best car I every owned it was very low maintenance with a (123,000 miles) I only had to invest in it's scheduled oiled changes and purchase a new set of tires every 2 years. My only repairs was the replacement of the battery and brake shoes done in my 8th year of ownership. A Great automobile!

Fwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
A reliable SUV
I bought an 05 Saturn four years ago w 100k miles. It now has over 175k.
The car isn't perfect. The interior is cheap, the front buckets are not well designed. It is, on uphill climbs, underpowered. It's also a bit noisy on the highway, but actually not more so than say, a Volvo xc90 (I drove one the other day, actually the Volvo is noisier).
Parts are ridiculously cheap. It shares a platform with every other gm brand. many parts like the brakes are common to a half dozen models.
The four cylinder is known is the iron duke and is regarded as one of the most reliable engines gm has ever made. ( though, the suspension is mediocre).
Bottom line-very low cost of ownership.

2005 Saturn VUE
"My first car and my best car!!!"
I absolutely love my Vue. I see all these newer cars having so many issues and as mine is a 2005, I haven't had to replace anything major other than the A/C, tires and the battery. Very reliable, comfortable and overall a great car! Never gave me any issues other than my battery dying while out and about but that's a simple fix.
