How safe are we? by tranny4

Would it be for the 2007 vue or the 2003-04 saturns? Would you have more info on were to go on google? Looked through 38 pages on google, nothing that would help.
I do want to add, 5 months after we purchased this vue we had repair on the harness. They installed an engine jumper harness.
I've read all the blogs. I'm looking for help. I have reviewed the lemon laws. Lots of lawyers wanting to help. I'm just wanting information.
Thank you

Still hating my vue by serrdon

Mine is still in the shop. On this visit, it has been there for 30 days. I'm dreading the car's return.
 
Have you heard of anyone having luck getting rid of their car? I read somewhere that Saturn is #1 in lemon law returns (for taking back the car) but it doesn't seem like it's going to be that easy.

I am sure glad I read this forum before car shopping. It sounds like the Hybrid Vue has been disappointing and GM has been slow to resolve serious problems. I wonder what percentage of Vue owners are experiencing the Harness problems.

Good things about the Hybrid Vue!!! by chmsomm

1. Serious question. Has anyone seen a 2008 Hybrid Vue??? I have not. Has Saturn stopped production of the Hybrid Vue?
 
2. Serious question. How many Hybrid Auras were sold? Are they having similar problems?
 
3. Not so funny humor. The good thing about the Hybrid Vue: With Less than 7000 of them made, if I put it in the garage and don't drive it, I could have the last one. I just have to wait for everyone elses to go to the junk yard and scavenge them for parts. In a few yesrs it might be worth more than an Edsel.

That is correct - there have been less than 7000 made, as for being a collector's item (we can all dream). Sorry to read that a handful of owners are having issues but as it has been said before that is the risk you take with a 1st year auto.
 
After reading these posts I know that I have the best one on the roads. I just passed 28,000 in less than 11 months and have a documented lifetime 32.007mpg average. My Saturn Hybrid Vue has been everything advertised and more.
 
I figured I would post up in this thread to balance some of the horror stories. There are owners who are happy with their Hybrid Vues.

i think there's more than a "handful" of people having problems. I'm glad yours is great. I don't think your experience is the norm though. I have heard the 2008 hybrid vue is on hold. Obviously, Saturn is having major problems fixing the bugs in the 2007

I've had my 2007 Vue Hybrid exactly, to the day, five months. My car has been in the shop three (3) times for the sticking ignition issue! I was told the second (2) time in, that this is a problem on all the Vues! Every time I'm asked if my key chain is too heavy! Right! It isn't. Well, the Vue is going in again today, and I've requested a NEW ignition switch installed. We'll see if this helps, or not.
 
I'm disgusted with this entire situation,and especially how Saturn isn't fixing the initial issue. Get ignition switches made that WORK!! Eat the cost of all the ones sitting on the shelf, and do right by the customer by providing working parts NOW!!

"I have heard the 2008 hybrid vue is on hold."
 
Where have you heard that? Production is ramping up on the Aura and VUE GL models as well as the new Malibu Hybrid.
 
This is one of the reasons why several have mentioned that replacement hybrid batteries take a long time to receive.

Excuse me Tackepj,
 
I have stopped by dealerships in the Philly area, and at my in-laws place in upstate NY. I have asked if they were getting any, and the answer was no.
 
I have not seen a single 2008 Saturn hybrid. I have not seen one on the road, that is if they look like the new standard Vue.
 
I think we would need to see some proof of this supposed production. I do have concerns that Saturn is going to cut its losses and leave us with little or no service support on a failed product.
 
Until they magically appear, I think megfox's and my own suspicians may be legitimate.
