2003 saturn vue v6 awd cuts out; won't start

Have you had the engine control system computer scanned for fault codes?? Do that first and go from those results.

Sounds like a visit to your local lock smith is in your future.

i own a 2003 vue. it happened to me and finally the tranny went. it was a sealed transmission(cvt)do you have a dipstick to check your transmission fluid.if you dont, get saturn to look at it.a new one is 6000.00.Just hope you have a warranty.

i am a saturn tech and ive never heard of this concern,the columns do go bad but they just set a ses light and cut out power,the column could be bad,it could also be the intermediate shaft u joint binding,,,i rec take to dealer, could be serious

you may have to replace body control module, I had to tow my 2002 saturn vue v6 about two years ago to the dealer approx $500.

How do i check the transmission fluid in 04 awd v6 auto

Rather then replacing a bunch of parts because someone suggested it could be this or that , your best bet , take it to a qualified diagnostic technician . One that has the knowledge an testing equipment . Could be any number of thing's . guessing doesn't work .

Check "maintenance" Or other headings that are similar. Using a Haynes manual? Sometimes their stuff is all over the book and not where you'd expect it to be. To relieve fuel pressure find if you have a schrade valve (looks like a tire valve) under a cap on the fuel rail. Put a rag under it and cover the top so it does not spray.
Generally to keep system from becoming air bound, fill with engine running and heater on high, allow for thermostat to open and top off when level drops.
