Why does the check engine light in my Vue turn on when I start my car?

Why is my Saturn Vue making engine noise?

Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Saturn Vue. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage my Saturn Vue engine?

Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Can I add water to my Saturn Vue radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Vue when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Vue to suddenly stop?

If your Vue car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
