We got a letter from Saturn acknowledging there is a potential problem with the GreenLine.

From what they describe, it is the same problem folks who are getting poor performance from their Vues were describing, mainly that the battery system was not working properly. Saturn attributes this to too much resistance across the charging system, which causes it to shut down.

The best part is, you only have between 20 and 90 minutes of drive time before the car uses up its battery, and you will be stuck!

The temporary 'fix' when you notice the problem (check engine light, battery light, or the charge/discharge gauge stays fixed in the center), is to shut off the car, and restart it.


The good news is, they are asking us to bring ours in and have the engine and transmission control units reprogrammed as well as a change to the wiring harness to prevent this issue from occurring.

Anyone else get the letter?
