2009 SATURN VUE HYBRID
This model year
What the record shows
The 2009 Saturn Vue Hybrid is a two-wheel-drive SUV, and the 3rd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2007 to 2010.
The EPA rated two configurations: engines from 2.4-litre four-cylinder to 3.6-litre six-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 28 mpg.
The federal record holds 7 owner complaints and 140 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
