Okay, despite my gloomy post earlier this past week, my battery arrived yesterday morning (Apr. 16). The GL went in today for it's one year service and the battery update/repair. The battery component on the invoice is numbered 25964892 which corresponds to the number represented here earlier. On the section below this area on the form was printed "Replaced corroded cells, cleaned and painted battery case, cleared DTC's, ROAD TEST OK."

The entire service took four and one half hours. The last hour was the one year service (according to the service rep). So three and a half hours that was posted here for a battery update was pretty much on the money.

Now for the REALLY great news!!!! The GL auto stopped when I waited to pull into traffic from the dealer. AND it auto-stopped all the way home (14 times; as I was counting ) Charging and Assist were absolutely extremely consistent and more-so frequent. I can't recall the needle moving as much as it has even during our original test drive. If this keeps up we are going to be very happy Saturn campers. As I just filled the tank on Tuesday I will be anxious to see what this does for the mileage. Will be happy to post impressions, results or answer questions as the situation develops.

Cheers,
Jan
