Replying to: melisab (Aug 14, 2008 9:58 pm) While I certainly don't have a problem with bringing cars over the border to get a better deal [the US's current laws are terrible in restricting buyers' choices from importing from the UK/Europe and other countries], but you DID know that it would void your warranty or parts of it before you did this. Doesn't the warranty booklet tell you this? Didn't the dealer? I have sympathy for your situation, but when you bring in a grey market car, that is unfortunately the penalty you have to pay -- no or a more limited warranty. I would think that if you sold the vehicle to an Amercan across the border the warranty may still be effective, but that would require taking a loss on the sale due to the battery failure, etc. Unless you can blame the dealer for not telling you or something, or can convince GM to help (or you just come to a US dealer and lie about your address), I think you you won't really get help for a repair. No one wins with this one.

Fix it for more than it would have cost to buy it straight from Canada or live with it as is. Either way, it is a lesson learned.

Replying to: joncanada (Jun 29, 2007 9:26 pm) I already had the harness replaced and battery changed on the recall several months ago (took 4 trips to get them to finally get it correct so the engine warning lite would stay off) when I had no issues w/ the car prior to the recall except the ignition switch prob. I have been happy w/ my Vue Hybrid and now my hubby w/ his hybrid Camry is making fun of my "lemon". Of course he also gets at least 5 mpg more than me.

Replying to: camks (Aug 24, 2008 7:35 pm) I have also found that Saturn HQ does not seem to talk to the individual Dealerships so it is up them to try to figure out the problems on their own, even though the problems seem to be quite similar. I found it easier to call the HQ and talk to them directly and open a customer complain case ( when the car would not go over 30km/h). They looked into it directly and put extra pressure on the dealership too to get the job done correctly. that is how i have all the codes for the wiring issues and work completed. |

Replying to: camks (Aug 24, 2008 7:35 pm) We had another trip to the dealership a few weeks ago and they fixed the sticky ignition, again updated the battery, and made whatever other changes I'm sure they have a list of - likely including computer reprogramming. Though they said our hybrid and truck was working fine, mysteriously we have gone from 19MPG to 27MPG. Barring any other breakdowns before the next servicing we'll have them fix the rattling of the window that occurs at high speeds. |
