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!

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. |

Replying to: melisab (Aug 14, 2008 8:58 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.
