I can't seem to find any repair manual for the Saturn VUE Body. My back latch stopped working and I can't open my back hatch. I believe I could fix it myself if I had some guidance on how to open it. Any Suggestions?
I am VERY frustrated with the Saturn VUE. We loved it when we first bought it, but we are now sick of being nickeled-and-dimed with repairs (but NOT nickels and dimes). There is no after-market repair manual. Saturn does not offer a factory repair manual (only the binder set for hundreds of dollars). Parts are impossible to find in parts stores. Saturn service in this area is very over-priced and we have not been at all happy with their customer service.
Other problems we've had with our 2002 Saturn VUE.
The lights on the inside of the hatch shut off when you open the hatch.
The back wiper works occasionally and when it does, it goes only half ways, stops, then goes the rest of the way. It commonly stops in the middle of the window and won't go farther.
The horn just started going-off one day on the highway and wouldn't stop. We had to either pull the fuse or pay $400 for a new steering wheel assembly.
The clutch slave cylinder went out. The mechanic said there was practically no wear on the clutch so it shouldn't have been "worn out".
The VUE may seem like a good value... but there are too many problems with our VUE to ever recommend it.
