The transmission in a 2003 Saturn Vue may enter fail-safe mode, often referred to as "limp mode," to protect the vehicle from further damage when it detects a malfunction or fault in the transmission system. This mode limits the vehicle's functionality, allowing it to operate only in certain gears and reducing speed to prevent additional strain on the transmission components. Common causes include low fluid levels, sensor failures, or internal transmission issues. It's advisable to diagnose the underlying problem promptly to restore normal operation.
