What owners wrote
On july 28, 2004, driving east on hwy 221 toward marathon, ny when I passed over a flooded section of road in a 2003 saturn vue. The vehicle spun and rolled over twice. I have since received a recall notice from saturn secondary to possible suspension failure and rollover risk. The car is being held by my insurance company, usaa auto, at co-part, 46 zuk pierce road, central square, ny 13036. The stock number is 681194. I would like to know whether suspension failure contributed to this rollover accident.
First my engine blew because saturn did not put oil back into my vue during a routine oil change next my control computer in the vue had to be replaced because it did not work. Now my transmission cover needs replaced. I also hear about potential problems with the rear end suspension now. I bought a new vue for its reliability and it is not reliable all on saturns fault.
