My 2009 Saturn Vue hybrid was purchases in Jan 2009. Since that time my car battery has died 4 times. When I took it to the Saturn dealer in savannah they said there was nothing wrong with the battery but my hybrid battery had a recall. After 10 days the vehicle was released back to me with a new hybrid battery however, the 12 v continues to die. The gm dealer in hinesville GA said that batteries will die in extreme conditions. I live in se georgia. I have no gps, radar detector, mps player , dvd player etc plugged into my Vue to account for weather or battery drain. I purchased this vehicle to transport my granddaughter to doc appt, soccer, shopping and daycare knowing that by uses a hybrid I was being kinder to the environment. When my battery died last night I contacted on star to run a diagnostic test. On stat did not find any issues with the batter however, my airbags would not deploy in case of an accident. There is something very wrong with the battery or electrical system of the Vue hybrid and my dealership is not being forthright about the larger issue. Eventually my warranty will run out and then I will be stuck with a very expensive lemon! please help!.
My 2009 Saturn Vue hybrid has had 2 car batteries die and the hybrid batteries have had to be replaced as well. I purchased the Vue in July of 2009. The first car battery was reported dead by the lou fuze dealership less than a week after my purchase and replaced under warranty. The hybrid batteries were deemed "dead" by the lou fuze dealership in July 2010 and replaced under warranty. In October 2010, the car battery was again deemed "dead" and replaced by the lou fuze dealership. Each time the car battery was replaced, I was told by the dealership that batteries will die quickly in extreme conditions. I was not aware that the st. Louis area qualified as extreme in terms of weather. Additionally, I was told by the service manager during my the October 2010 incident that I should be happy it was only my car battery that was dead because the hybrid batteries are on back order. It seems that there is something very wrong with the battery or electrical system of the Vue hybrid and my dealership is not being forthright about the larger issue. Eventually my warranty will run out and then I will be stuck with a very expensive lemon! please help!.
