I just bought a used 2003 Vue days ago... It has a V4 engine, AWD and 75k mile on it. But inoticed some weird sounds from the engine when I press the gas.. it sounds like it's whining... This is my first American made car.. i used to have a Subaru.. i don't know if it's normal.. Does anyone have similar experience? And by the wayˇK my engine temperature gauge is always pointing at <st1:time Hour="10" Minute="0">10 oˇ¦clock</st1:time> direction instead of 12 (meaning the temperature is actually lower than normal)ˇK Is there anything wrong?

Dont know if your going to find anyone who know much about those V4 engines. Just Kidding. For real though, what tranny do you have?Edited by: SheckyZ28 |
I have VTi tranny I just brought my Vue to a saturn service center today to have them check it out.. They told me everything is in working order.. there isnothing to worry about.. But i was searching on the web.. and i found out there are quite a few problems with the VTi (CVT) tranny.. Now i'm worried that will fail pretty soon in the future... [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]Anyone know anything about this tranny? PS: by the way.. i like their customer service.. |
This VTi tranny has indeed been problematic -- it is my understanding that Honda stopped offering this version due to the high failure rate.
I'm pretty </span>sure that Saturn has extended the "warranty" period for these trannys -- not sure of the terms -- might want to check with Saturn on this one -- I would think they would have mentioned it to you.... Derf |
One thing for sure..............the VTI is not quiet. The 2.2 has been a good engine I'd guess your hearing the VTI.

I'm on third CVT tranny at 110k miles. Dealer only charged me $100 for the third one.
