Hi Kingcat,
 
Since the ECM has been changed the problem in your vehicle has never reoccurred?, Re. the car shut off after one second and all instruments go dead?
 
How much did the ECM cost?

How was the security system reset? Without having access to manufacturer/dealer computer to read and reset.
 
Please advise.

Hey I have a 2003 Vue I had the security module burn out. I first saw the security light on the dash but it went off, came back on went off, I ran a few earns, when I got home and locked the car in about 15 minutes the horn alarm was beeping. I went out and unlocked the car, and locked again and the same thing. Well I figured I have to take to the dealer to fix.
So 2 months past the warranty the security mod kit needs to be replaced, like $800
so now since June when the warrenty was up I have had the water pump go and this. security problem.
 
I am quickly loseing my faith in Saturn

Hiya, my 2003 vue has 53622 miles on it, the last time I took in for service 8/25 I was not pleased. Well first off they had to fix a security module that cost $800 and as im driving home I notice there are an extra 23 miles put on the car, so somehow as they worked under the dash they bumped the dials and added miles.
 
and I also got an oil change and they left the old reminder sticker on windshield
 
Total bill 792.42

I think more and more I hate my 2003 Vue.
 
The warranty just expired in June, 08 The water pump died, coveder under warr still cost me 423.00,
 
Now the security light problem, took to saturn dealer and told me 45.00 to check it out, The gal came back and said the security mod kit had to be replaced like 756.00. and they ask if I wanted toget a new tire because one has low tread.
 
They changed the oil, somehow while they fixed the security module they moved my milage up 26 miles, and the left the old reminder sticker for oil change on the windshield

Security Module by vuemaster

On august 25th, I had to run some errands, So I start the 2003 Vue and notice the security light is on. In a few minutes it goes off but in about a 1/2 mile it is on and now blinking. I get to my stop pull the maunal and try to read the info for security light. I had already turned the car off, so I tried st start, thank goodness it did. I did my errand and head home.
 
I get home shut off the car, push the lock on the remote and the car beeped 3 times. I locked it again and it just did the 1 beep as normal.
 
About 15 minutes later my car is beeping like someone is breaking in to it.
I go out unlock and start up , it does ok.
 
I lock and go in and 15 minutes later it is beeping the alarm again, so I unlock start and lock, the 3rd time I decide to take to the Saturn dealer in Clearwater, because I don't want to be doing that all night long.
 
I tell the service gal my problem and she says it will be $45 to run a test on the problem. Then she comes back with the mechanic and tells me it is the security module and it will cost almost $800 and take about a hour and a half.
 
Well I think it needs to be done so I say ok. and do an oil change also.
 
So about 2 hours later, i'm the last one in the shop I get my car. I now have new remotes to go with the new module, I still wonder if it could have been fixed by new batteries in the remote?
 
On the way home I notice that there and like 26 miles added to my car, and the old oil change reminder is still on windshield. Today I filled up the gas tank and the arrow does not pass the Full like it use to.
 
I hate going to the dealer, I need 2 tires and have no money.
