#245 of 300 Mine works great now by kaytex Nov 26, 2007 (10:43 am)
After 28 days waiting for the new battery, I picked up my Green Line Vue last week. I've put over 800 miles on it since then, and everything is great. the dealership contacted XM to get me a month's credit. It took me less than a minute on the phone with On-Star to get two month's credit. I'm sorry others have had a bad time. Mine had a problem; my rental was really nice while I waited; now I'm back to the hybrid SUV I so enjoy.

Replying to: tackepj (Nov 26, 2007 5:30 am) They tried to tell me it was the DVD drawing down the battery. And that apparently keeps the door locks and headlights from working as well according to my dealer.Told me if I disconnected it that all my problems would be over immediately. So I played their game and picked up the car. I took it to my brother (who builds fire trucks including all the equipment and computers in the vehicles) who disconnected the DVD. While he did that, he found a bunch of wires (sorry, I know nothing about cars ) under the steering wheel that were rubbing against some metal and the wires were half way cut through. So my brother called them up and explained what was wrong. So they have my car again. Keep in mind that the dealer is an hour away. So I'm definitely NOT amused. AND they ripped my headliner.   Oh well, 3 more days (at least) on my case. I think I'm over 60 days now. It's been in the service department 1/3 of the time that I've owned it.

Replying to: serrdon (Nov 27, 2007 8:12 pm) Is your DVD the optional Saturn one or an add-on? Either way, hardly seems like that could cause your problem. Hopefully the wires your brother found will be the solution to the problem. Sounds like this dealer isn't too interested in helping you properly.

Replying to: tackepj (Nov 28, 2007 5:49 am) It gets better. They called this morning saying it was all fixed. So I drove back out there again, and the car wouldn't start. So I left, again, in my loaner. I think the die hard "we fixed it this time" guy in service has given up. He told me I need to get out of the car. No kidding!   The DVD player, which is completely out of the car now, was an aftermarket DVD player.

My Vue is now 12mos old, 32k miles and running great. Only issue thus far, it "wind" noise. Gas mileage approx 30. Handles great in the snow! I am very happy with this vehicle.........thus far
#250 of 300 Scared to buy 2008 Vue Hybrid by ckb2 Dec 12, 2007 (11:57 am)
After reading the terrible maintenance stories on this forum, I really regret putting $500. reserve deposit on the 2008 model. It seems that a high percentage of owners are experiencing lengthy and repetitive repair problems. My biggest concern was whether or not the Vue Hybrid would be under powered. Any body know if these battery problems in particular have been ironed out on '08 model? Replies to this message: joncanada (Dec 12, 2007 1:19 pm)
#251 of 300 Wiring Harness Fix by anix Dec 12, 2007 (12:41 pm)
I went to the dealership last week for routine maintenance and found out that there was a recall for the wiring harness. They replaced it and hopefully my car will continue to work well. I just wish I was getting the higher gas mileage as some of you as I get anywhere from 23 to 26 mpg in the city and up to 28mpg on the freeway.

Replying to: ckb2 (Dec 12, 2007 11:57 am) I'd hope that the battery problems would be ironed out on the 08 model, but the 08's were pretty much completed when I drove our 2007 off the lot (was the last one of it's kind in Canada) and still had problems so who knows what they have done to correct the 08's. Personally I'd transfer my deposit to a non-hybrid but I'm bias because of all the issues we've had Toyota Hylanders are really nice
#253 of 300 Any problems after new battery? by silverglvue Jan 20, 2008 (7:17 pm)
We had our battery replaced 2 months ago. The vehicle seemed to working well until the last 5 days in which we noticed an odor. The Vue GL is no longer going into auto stop. We're just wondering if anybody else had a similar experience after replacing the harness and then the battery itself. This is all in <14,000 miles and <1 year on the road .

Replying to: silverglvue (Jan 20, 2008 7:17 pm) i had both replaced and my auto stop has stopped working regularly. enough to be affecting my gas mileage in a very bad way. I've gone from getting over 400 miles per tank to about 300. I'm going to take it back in.   ugh. Replies to this message: silverglvue (Jan 21, 2008 1:50 pm)
