I've had similar issues with my heat/AC. Once in a while it seems to get 'stuck'. In the summer, I'd turn it on AC and if I got too cold, I'd dial it down. It didn't seem to change the temperature, so, I'd turn it down a bit more (into the warmer zone) and next thing I know, the heat's on. So, I'd go back to the cooler side and wooops - it just kept getting warmer....and warmer. It stayed that way a few times the entire trip. Once I turned the car off and started it back up, the climate control seemed to work again - but boy, nothing like having your heat blowing at 85 degrees when it's 90 degrees outside! I had it into the Saturn Dealer a couple weeks ago and they couldn't reproduce the issue. It's been a couple months since it has done that - but I sure don't want it to do it to me in the dead of winter and have it stuck on AC.

I just traded in both my 2008 Saturn Astra xe 5spd with 1800 miles on the clock and 2004 Saturn Vue for a 2009 XR V6 Vue in deep blue with chrome alloys. The Astra looks great and the body is structurally well put together but, the 1.8 standard shift driveline proved to be too problematic for me and after so many annoying issues I decided to step up to the plate and spent a lot more money to avoid more issues with my Astra. I have been so sad since this past Saturday thinking about my 2004 Silver Vue 5 spd with 95K one owner pampered miles. Life must go on and I must say that I am impressed with power of the 3.6 liter engine with the six speed auto. I still find myself stepping on the brake with my left foot on start up. I am far too used to manual transmission and I will have to learn to adjust as they no longer make the manual transmssion for any of the vues. I can only hope my 04 vue finds a good and responsible owner that will treat her right. Please keep us posted on your Vues and experiences with your car/suv! jason and family

Unfortunately no standard transmission planned for 2009. Initially the 5 spd option was coming the second half of 08 but that never happened. In the meantime Ford started selling 5 spd Escapes....

I just read that the Chili Pepper Red is back for 2009!

Read all the planned changes at the attached link.

New for 2009 Exterior colors: Quicksilver, Gold Mist Metallic, Aquamarine, Chili Pepper Red

That is an awesome color and stands out so much better than the current faux red, which is really burgandy.

We purchased a 2008 Vue XR in December and we absolutely love it except for a few problems we have been having lately. There seems to be some sort of malfunction with our A/C and heat. First, it would only blow on the feet and would only blow out cool air. We took it into the dealer where they replaced the unit and it worked fine for a week or two and now it will only blow cold air from the top and nothing out of the feet. Anyone else having any similar problems??

If they made an AWD 4 cyl, it would use more gas, not less.

Does anyone else agree that Saturn should make an AWD VUE that is either 4 cylinder or a hybrid for better gas mileage?
Or does anyone know if this will be coming in the near future?
Other car companies have that option like subaru, toyota and even Ford. What is up with Saturn or GM for that matter.

Hey Alex-
Your Saturn retailer can get you accessories such a roof racks that are specifically engineered and validated for the Vue. They'd be the best people to quote you a price. For 2008, Vue has optional bright painted roof rails priced @ $150. In the 2009 model year, there will be chrome roof rails available as an accessory. Pricing has not been finalized, but due to the finish, they will be a bit more expensive

I own a 2003 Vue and see ones with the chrome cargo racks, how much do those cost and can i get them somewhere besides the dealer?

I'm patiently waiting for my new '08 Vue Hybrid to come in. Does anyone out there have one yet? If you do, tell me about it. I'm excited to get mine and curious to hear how it's working for others. I heard that GM updated some of the technology to a version 2 for the new '08 Vue Hybrid. Thanks for any comments anyone posts.
