Replying to: melisab (Aug 14, 2008 7:10 am) Are you sure? Have you checked with Saturn of America (or whatever they are called)? I don't know if the Federal Laws apply to cars that are subsequently shipped out of country - they were purchased in the US.

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.

Fix it for more than it would have cost to buy it straight from Canada or live with it as is. Either way, it is a lesson learned.

Replying to: joncanada (Jun 29, 2007 8:26 pm) I already had the harness replaced and battery changed on the recall several months ago (took 4 trips to get them to finally get it correct so the engine warning lite would stay off) when I had no issues w/ the car prior to the recall except the ignition switch prob. I have been happy w/ my Vue Hybrid and now my hubby w/ his hybrid Camry is making fun of my "lemon". Of course he also gets at least 5 mpg more than me.
