When should I come in for Saturn Vue differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Vue?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Vue’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Vue check engine light on your own?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your Vue’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Vue?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Vue, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Vue?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Vue’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Vue forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2006 Saturn Vue Drivetrain Service

Your Vue’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Vue’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2006 Saturn Vue to maintain its performance power. Follow Saturn's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Saturn Vue Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2006 Saturn Vue drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Saturn Vue may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Saturn Vue drives.

How much does it cost to fix your 2006 Saturn Vue drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
