Can you get a confirmation on the transmission type?
The Vue went through a ridiculous number of powertrain changes… In 02-03, it used a GM V6 and Aisin (Toyota) transmission… then it changed to a Honda engine and transmission that it used until 2008… The four cylinders used a GM engine and GM/Fiat CVT.
GM extended the warranties on the CVT for high failure rates for 5 years / 75k. Unfortunately, the Honda one they used on the V6 was also a dog… but evidently no extended warranties are out on that one…
