Fordfan_17,
 
Could you please provide more detail on tsb# 0731BA.
 
What is the actual name of the tsb? Exactly what does it cover? Is this a recall? Is it a bulletin to Saturn Service with a particular fix? Is there a web address where we can get the specifics?
 
I did a search and came up empty.
 
Thanks

The attorney we used was Alex Simanovsky & Associates, LLC in GA. We were very happy with how they handled our case and treated us.
 
We are so happy to be out of the Vue. After driving our CRV for 4 months we have found that we get around 21-22 MPG in town and around 26-28 MPG on highway (traveling in speeds up to 75 mph).
 
Two other things that we don't miss about the VUE:
1. The not so great air conditioner.
2. The wind noise that makes you keep checking to see if you're window is cracked!
 
Best of luck!

2. Wind Noise - get your doors adjusted.,. we did windows now quiet.
1. - AC too warm? get it recharged and seal tested. should be under warrentee.
 
Still using the VUE after 30,000 and still works fine.

lemon of a car by melisab

I am receiving today, a third battery in my 2007 Saturn Vue Hybrid. This one only 5 months after the second which was a factory recall. Now that I have " loss of Hybrid function" and am up in Canada, I am paying $2600 for the battery plus labour! GM of Canada will not warantee this battery as they claim they have not had any complaints with the new replacemtn batteries.
 
Anyone considering a Saturn hybrid- DON'T DO IT!
I was very happy with it at the beginning and did not understand others complaints. now I do and am very sorry for purchasing the Lemon!

We received a notification of the first recall from GM of Canada 8 months after the recall took place - my guess is GM is very out of the loop. We haven't yet got our second recall battery as I'm sure many others haven't, so I have no doubts they will have complaints given enough time as they can't seem to do anything right with this vehicle. The hybrid system is supposed to have an 8 year warranty. There's no way they would get another 2600 out of my for this vehicle. Any GM employee wondering why they got laid off should look no further than this thread.

Sorry for your experience. Hard to believe Canada has no hybrid warranties. Here in the US, the standard hybrid warranty is 8 years/110K miles, or 10 years/150K miles (for CARB states). That covers all parts of the hybrid system including batteries and drivetrain.

i guess because i saved so much money buying it in the US and importing it into Canada, they are not happy with me. they will not warranty the new battery that was replacing in California. But as I am a Canadian resident, i can not go down to the US to have if fixed. Personally i don't think it should matter. it is still the same part and they should stand behind there products nonetheless.
