I HAVE HAD CONTINUED SUSPENSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 SATURN VUE AWD V-6. I HAVE GONE THROUGH SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES WITH THE TIRES WEARING UNEVENLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, COMPLAINING OF LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END NEAR THE TIRES. THEY DID NOT FIND IT. I HAVE HAD THE SWAY BARS REPLACED, AND NOW BELIEVE THAT MY FRONT WHEEL BEARING NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, OF SUSPENSION, WHEEL BEARING FAILURE, AND LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO FOUND MULTIPLE CASES WHERE OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR WHEEL BEARING MORE THAN ONCE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY, NOW THAT I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

SQUEAK NOISE INTERMITTENT WHEN FIRST OBTAINED VEHICLE. ADJUSTMENTS MADE PERIODICALLY UNDER WARRANTY ( TO DASHBOARD ETC.) NOISE SEEMED TO GO AWAY BUT ALWAYS CAME BACK. NOISE BECAME LOUDER, AND MORE LIKE A CREAKING NOISE, WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS OR OVER BUMPS WHEN BRAKE IS NOT BEING PRESSED. TOOK VUE IN WHILE UNDER 49,700 MILES, VISUAL INSPECTION FOUND FRONT STABILIZER LINKS TO BE NOISY. I DECLINED THEM REPAIRING IT AS THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE FRO FREE OR DISCOUNT, EVEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, AND NOISE HAS BEEN PRESENT. I STOPPED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AFTER WARRANTY WAS UP AS THEY HAVE A REPUTATION IN TOWN TO NOT WORK WITH THE CUSTOMER. LATERAL LINKS WERE ALREADY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, I FEEL THE STABILIZER LINKS SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE ALSO, WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I WILL TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HAVE IT DOWN, FOR MY OWN SAFETY, BUT I FEEL...
