    Hi, I have a 2003 Vue and it sometimes hesitates when I first accelerate. It
    has been in for sservice several times but they cant fix it. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I have a 2003 AWD VUE with CVT. They told me it's because of the CVT that it
    hesitates. Especially when switching between R and D. Even after the
    "Service pack" (updated the software for the transmission).

    Paul which engine/transmission combination do you have? Some
    owners with the 4 cylinder engine/VTi transmission
    combination have had problems with hesitation (but not me).

    In my case I never had the hesitation problem. However, my
    VTi was noisy under certain situations. The dealer reflashed
    the transmission control software and added two different
    chemicals (additives) to the transmission fluid. This seems
    to have quieted things down.

    If you are not satisfied with the way your transmission
    operates, I'd suggest you take it back to the dealer. Saturn
    has been doing a lot of work on solving the problems with
    this transmission and it is possible there is a newer flash
    that will be effective in correcting your concern. It is
    nice to know GM has extended the warranty on the
    transmission to 75,000 miles.

    Regards,
