Re: Is your battery a new part?
To Phil:
I have not heard about the battery recall but I did receive the voluntary emission recall letter this past week. Maybe this is what you are refering to.
Saturn is conducting a voluntary emission recall that includes 2007 Vue Green Line Hybrids. There may be a voltage imbalance within the hybrid battery. If the imbalance exceeds 0.6 volts, the check engine light will illuminate and hybrid function will be disabled. If this occurs, the charge/assist gage would show no movement, the fuel economy light (ECO) would not illuminate, and the vechcile would be powered by the gasoline engine only.
The Saturn retailer will replace the three hybrid cassettes within the battery assembly, This one-time service will be performed for you at no charge within a period of 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the date your vehicle was originnally placed in service.
I will be taking my Hybrid in next week for the service. I will ask the tech where to locate the battery number. I still have the original battery. I will also update everyone on the performance of the Hybrid after the service.
