#1 of 3 '07 Saturn Vue Greenline Calibration(s) by kallop Aug 28, 2007 (7:44 pm)
If after you took your greenline into service and was told when you picked it up that a new Calibration was installed and now your greenline drive poorly. Loss of power, minimum regeneration, hard up shifting, double down shifting, vary little Assist if any at all.... I need to hear from you. I'm sure if you complained to the dealer they told you that the new characteristics are a normal part of the new Calibration. I REALLY NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!

Replying to: kallop (Aug 28, 2007 7:44 pm) HI Kallop,   Do these symptoms sound familiar? This is a repost of a message on another thread, but it may be related to what you're describing:   Hi all,    Many thanks for sharing your experiences with the Vue Green Line. It's helpful to know how widespread some of these issues are. Here is another:    I've had ongoing issues with the breaking and transmission. The shifting is very rough, especially the downshifting when coming to a stop. It can feel like driving over railroad tracks, and it's very unpleasant! This seems to be related to the transmission control module and/or braking control module. When I first got the car the problem was very severe, and the car would lurch as it came to a stop (the service technician thought that this was the traction control engaging inappropriately). Less than two weeks after purchasing the car, all the warning lights came on and the hybrid system quit working. This was not, I believe, the problem that others have had with the wiring harness, as I was still able to drive the car for quite a while (including an hour to the dealer), and the power steering did not fail. After three weeks in the shop, the dealer replaced the brake control module. This eased the rough shifting somewhat. However, the day after I got the car back, it wouldn't start! The lights would come on and the electrical system worked, but there was absolutely no response from the engine. The car was towed in, and the dealer ultimately replaced the transmission control module.    So, the car has was out of service for 35 days (in the first 370 miles!). The shifting is still very rough, though. Since I just received the letter regarding the wiring harness, I will be bringing the car back to the dealer to get that replaced, and will ask them again about the transmission and braking. It would be very helpful to know if others have had similar problems. I'd like to know whether this is an unavoidable problem having to do with the regenerative braking system, or whether it's a solvable problem.    Does your Vue downshift smoothly when coming to a stop, or is it kind of clunky?    And, just for laughs, there is yet another problem with my Green Line. One of the seat belts in the back seat was installed incorrectly, such that both ends come out of the opening at the shoulder. Ha ha. Replies to this message: kallop (Sep 05, 2007 7:41 am)

Replying to: pasadena (Sep 04, 2007 8:27 am) Pasadena, in all fairness, I can not say for sure if they are related but it may seem so. My next contact will be the Better Business Bearu.
