| Our vehicle will now never go into auto-stop if the heater / air conditioning unit is on regardless of the temperature setting. Anybody else experienced this? | |
We have 7700 miles on our Greenline, it no longer operates as a HYBRID. The fuel mileage is worse then our '03 Vue with AWD, nothing works anymore and the dealer said there is nothing wrong with it. They say it operates as it should. What the ^%$^%#$ does that mean?

Replying to: megfox (Jan 20, 2008 8:55 pm) Our GL Vue went to the service department today. We were told that the battery wasn't getting charged enough. The tech wrote that maybe we should drive it more. We explained how much we drive it....next it seemed that maybe the cold is causing part of the issue. Regardless, we bought this vehicle to drive in whatever conditions exists and whenever we need to drive it. Additionally, we did not buy a vehicle to have the battery charging odor inside the vehicle. We started discussing a buy back and were told that it needs to be taken directly to Saturn so we will start that process. To all - please note that a strange smell in the vehicle (and sometimes outside) is a battery related issue. |

So I have had some fun the last two days here in Boston. My Hybrid stopped working, so called the dealership explained the situation and the recall and scheduled and appointment. Brought the Vue in yesterday, called mid day and was told it would be ready at 5pm. Returned my rental car and took a cab to the dealership only to find out it was never fixed because they didn't have the parts to fix the harness. They kept the car all day today, and it still doesn't work. Mechanic told me that Saturn will be sending out another recall in the next month or two to completely replace the whole Hybrid battery. In the meantime I have to bring my car back in another week for them to put a new defective battery in because mine doesn't work at all, only to have that one replaced when the next recall is issued. So glad I bought a hybrid, especially one that won't be working for a total of 3 months.

Replying to: dcpt1999 (Feb 26, 2008 5:04 pm) Here are the important paragraphs from the recall letter: The recall includes all 2007 AURA Green Line and VUE Green Line as well as certain 2008 model year Saturn AURA Green Line Hybrid Vehicles. There may be a voltage imbalance within the hybrid battery. If the imbalance exceeds 0.6 volts, the check engine light will illuminate and hybrid function will be disabled. If this occurs, the charge/assist gauge would show no movement, the fuel economy light (ECO) would not illuminate, and the vehicle would be powered by the gasoline engine only. What will be done: Your Saturn retailer will replace the three hybrid cassettes within the battery assembly. This one-time service will be performed for you at no charge within a period of 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the date your vehicle was placed in service. How long will the repair take? Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your retailer will need your vehicle longer than the actual service correction time of approximately 2 to 3 hours. By the way - this recall pertains to ALL 2007 VUE Greenline models from VIN (last 8 digits) 7S800023 thru 7S880949 UNLESS your 36V battery cassettes had already been replaced sometime in the last few months with the latest part numbers (PN# 25953382 or 25964892 for the VUE GL) Most owners have yet to receive the letters as they will be coming out in stages. In the mean time I just logged a 33.85mpg tank with 455.6 miles on it in 30 degree Maryland Winter weather. 38,000+ miles & smiles with this owner. I love my Hybrid Vue
