Underhood Wiring Problems of Saturn VUE

Hello, I am writing concerning issues with my brand new Saturn green-line hybrid Vue. I purchased it about 2 months ago, and there have been some frightening issues. This is a serious issue about the voluntary recall of the green-line hybrid Vue- the fix does not work. It has put our family in harm's way. I received a voluntary recall notice to fix the electric harness wiring on my hybrid, to prevent problems. Well, I took it in today, and not less than 1 minute after I left the dealership the engine light came on (first time ever). Then about 8 minutes later, all hell broke loose in the car. . . All electronics failed- radio lights, dash lights, headlights, engine wouldn't change gears, lights were flashing on and off, speedometer didn't work, then they were all flickering, then the headlights went out, onstar died, radio died, power steering died! me and my family were in the car and almost died in a head on collision because I couldn't barely steer the car!! well, from taking my new car in to prevent a problem, to the Saturn team almost killing us, I am far from happy. Please let whoever needs to know this, know immediately. If we had gotten on the highway as planned, we most likely wouldn't be talking because we would have lost control on the highway.

I purchased this vehicle used (app 47k miles on it) in March 2006. During summer of 2006 there started to be a problem wherein the car, when traveling down the road, would suddenly switch, without warning, into a "reduced power mode". A small light would come on indicating this, but the biggest problem was that about 5 seconds after this light comes on, the vehicle down shifted into 2nd gear and caused the engine to break down to 30 mph. The only way to restore power was to pull over and shut the vehicle off for 30-60 seconds. ***I was told by the repair center that there are several technical service bulletins within Saturn for this defect, so they know it exists. *** however, because the cost of the repair (to consumers) is over $1300, they have not made a recall of what is obviously a safety defect. The dealer has attempted several shortcuts in the past year to fix the problem, each time with only temporary success. I have complained to both the Saturn repair center and Saturn corporate customer service, neither will offer any concessions other than covering a $100 diagnostic fee after I had already paid such fee twice. A defect which causes the car to forcefully slow down to 30 mph is risking the life of my family, since we often travel on highways to get to where we are going. Currently, we do not use the vehicle for highway travel and are forced to use our other car.

My 6 day old Saturn Vue - hybrid had 242 miles on it when the low battery light went on. The check engine lights went on, then the abs, traction control, and passenger air bag light illuminated. I was able to get to the dealers, coasted in to their shop. The new car sat there for 12 days before I was able to drive it. The starter/ generator control module had to be replaced. It had to come from an outside supplier, who claimed to have shipped it, but had no tracking number, and supposedly it could not be found. It finally arrived after the car was in the shop for 12 days and was installed.

I purchased a 2003 Vue on 12/02 there was a recall in 03/03 the problem was fixed, but lead to other problems. (1) the check engine light would not go out took it in 2 times. (2) the car was lurching when coming to a stop. (3) the car did not get enough gas when taking off. (4) there is a knocking sound when I turn a corner. (5) the car had to be towed in just 1 day after picking it up for other problems because it would not start.
