Used 2008 Saturn VUE XR V6 for Sale near Chicago, IL

My partner and I bought our 2008 Saturn Vue XR V6 about 2 months ago. We have loved the vehicle and it has aged well considering it's going on 7 years old and had 75K miles when we bought it. All the right features: premium audio, sunroof, leather/heated seats, rain sensing wipers, etc. The size is just right for us and the engine is strong and smooth. However, about a month after buying it (and fortunately a $0 deductible powertrain warranty), we noticed the transmission slipping. The warranty company hadn't even processed the paperwork yet. Per the forum on this site, we directed them to the 3-5-R plate which was broken. I write this on our second day having it home and I already noticed slipping around 20 mph. I will be calling the dealer tomorrow. In our 6 weeks with the Vue, we have loved having it. I am hoping to get this settled and we will be able to be done with repairs for some time. I am happy we went with the extended warranty as we still have 98K miles and 5 years left!

The front seats make a lot of noise when sitting on them, because frame and springs are defective. Transmissions wave plates break easily under normal use causing costly repair. The struts make a creaking and clicking sound when turning. The steering column makes a rubbing sound.

Incredible acceleration, 4-wheel disc brakes, XM radio, great in dash system, less than sufficient amplification with impressive speakers. Build is of excellent quality. Main cup holder is useless for anything but the smallest of drinks as the emergency brake handle and the shifter impinge on the cup holder's real-estate.

It is easy to get in and out of. I love the gold exterior.and the interior. The heating and cooling is really cool, because you just put it on auto and set the temp and it automatically gets to that templ Also it has a jack for my MP3 player and the radio is awsome. So are the intermitten wipers, which by the way you just set them and they detect when they need to wipe the windshield. Complaints, the ceiling stuff hangs low and obstructs my rearview mirror. and the auto side mirror swich is backward.
