#287 of 300 Re: Battery Harness Issue [camks] by melisab Aug 25, 2008 (9:44 am)
Replying to: camks (Aug 24, 2008 6:35 pm) my car's power never truned off completly. At on point it would not go over 30 km/h so that I could drive it to a service station. I had saturn fix a wiring issue as they used a too small/ gauged wire when they put in the new battery during the recall. It took a while to figure out. After that my engine light would go on and off. I started using chevrons high grade fuel only and the light went off and stayed of. But just as this problem seemed to be fixed, my hybrid battery stopped working. the green eco light would not go on and the battery gauge on the right hand side of the dash would not move. At first i would pull over, stop the car and restart it again. the hybrid function would work again until the next time I drove it. This went on for a few days then i could not get the hybrid function to work at all, and i brought it to my local Saturn dealership and had to pay almost $4000 to get a new battery put in. They stated that they had no issues or complaints with these new batteries and would not warantee it for me. i bought the car in California so i am lucky as I am covered by a lemon law which does not exsist in Canada. I have a Lawyer who is pleased to take on my case as he has already received many settlements from Saturn over the 2007 Vue hybrids!! I have also found that Saturn HQ does not seem to talk to the individual Dealerships so it is up them to try to figure out the problems on their own, even though the problems seem to be quite similar. I found it easier to call the HQ and talk to them directly and open a customer complain case ( when the car would not go over 30km/h). They looked into it directly and put extra pressure on the dealership too to get the job done correctly. that is how i have all the codes for the wiring issues and work completed.

Replying to: camks (Aug 24, 2008 6:35 pm) Hi camks. The battery harness replacement solved this issue for us.   We had another trip to the dealership a few weeks ago and they fixed the sticky ignition, again updated the battery, and made whatever other changes I'm sure they have a list of - likely including computer reprogramming. Though they said our hybrid and truck was working fine, mysteriously we have gone from 19MPG to 27MPG. Barring any other breakdowns before the next servicing we'll have them fix the rattling of the window that occurs at high speeds.

Replying to: chmsomm (Jun 17, 2008 3:12 pm) Like you, I have been searching for this "TSB notice" both with US NTSB and the Canadian TSB (that doesn't appear to be concerned with highway vehicles). I beileve it doesn't exist. fordfan_17 must be laughing his butt off at this...... so sad.

#291 of 300 2007 Vue Hybrid Cruise Control at 40 mph by vue2many Jan 09, 2009 (3:20 pm)
We've taken our 2007 Vue Hybrid in 3 times with the same cruise control problem. Saturn says all Hybrid cruise controls work like ours.   When we put it in cruise control between 30 and 45 mph, and most natably at 40 mph, the RPM's jump 1000 to 1500 RPM's up and down almost continuously. Does this whether engine's going in and out of eco (hybrid), or whether it is continuously staying in eco.   So, I'm asking you, fellow Hybrid Vue owners if your car does the same?   Thanks!   Replies to this message: kallop (Jan 09, 2009 3:54 pm) sjd6 (Jan 16, 2009 10:44 am) vue2many (Jan 16, 2009 12:35 pm) tackepj (Jan 23, 2009 11:26 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: vue2many (Jan 09, 2009 3:20 pm) I have made this vary same complaint for over a year now. All I have been told is that "the Greenline operates as intended!" I of course know better and continue to be frustrated same as you.

Replying to: vue2many (Jan 09, 2009 3:20 pm) I also have an 07 vue hybrid and when i told saturn service about it, they told me, "uh, it's an suv OF COURSE it's going to do that". Like I was stupid.

#295 of 300 Loud Pinging Noise at Startup by sjd6 Jan 16, 2009 (10:51 am)
I have an 07 Hybrid Vue. I've had all the usual problems with the battery and they've been swell about fixing it, etc. Now I have this unusual Loud Metallic pinging noise coming from the rear, underneath (muffler or gas tank area?) on the outside of the car at startup. Is anyone else having this problem? It is very noticeable and happens about 3 out of every 5 times I start the vehicle. It sounds like someone has thrown a rock at an empty metal barrell. I took it into service and they told me it was a cellinoid venting and it was a normal safety feature. If that is so, then why hasn't it been doing it all along? Why did it start over a year after I've owned the vehicle? I go to pick it up on Saturday and I'm trying to find someone else with the same issue.
