Tl* the contact owns a 2007 saturn vue hybrid. The contact stated that the brake line failed, which caused the rotors, brake pads, calipers, wheel hub, and bearing to fail without warning. The hub and bearing assembly wiring melted, which caused the check engine warning light to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to three dealers where it was diagnosed that all parts needed to be replaced, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

The ignition was not turning over properly. The battery light was on. The brake light came on. The traction control system came on. The (ABS) light came on. The check engine light came on. The oil pressure light came on. I drove my car from fresno to yosemite and right in front of the park garage it broke down and I managed to roll it off the road and into a stall. I requested professional advice. The professional said it appeared to him to be a faulty altenator, a failed electrical system, and a battery problem, as well as a problem with the ignition switch. They did not have the tools to examine the products, so instructed me to have it towed to the dealer in the nearest locale. This is a specific car dealer in fresno, ca.

I was driving to college when the check engine light came on. Upon stopping at a red light, the auto-stop feature kicked in but once I started going, the battery light came on and the entire vehicle started running horribly and the lights dimming. The airbag, traction control, and ABS dash lights all started turning on and then off also. So I now have both check engine and battery lights staying on. I went to my fathers house to use his code reader since the service department at the dealership was closed and I have the following codes: poabb, poafb, p1a47, p1174, and three poa37. These codes are all saying that the hybrid system is over voltage and the diagnostic fix is to replace the hybrid system/power inverter. I'm going to the certified saturn dealership in the morning to have it thoroughly looked at. But after looking at other complaints, it seems that gm should have looked at all the hybrid line battery systems for faultiness and needs to fix them!

Check engine light came on immediately after driving off the lot. Severe electrical/computer issues. The hybrid battery was not functioning properly. The hybrid battery was replaced but we have continued to have electrical/computer problems. The radio quit working and had to be replaced. The ignition switch/core had to be replaced. This we paid for out of pocket even though gm knew about similar ignition issues with saturn vue's and other cars. We are still experiencing problems with the ignition. The car completely shuts down while driving. The key will fall out of the ignition while driving. Gm has refused to do anything about these issues. The dashboard lights all come on at random times. The airbag light has continued to illuminate at random times despite our bringing it to gm's attention from the moment we purchased the car. We replaced the airbag sensor but the problems have persisted. Gm says there's nothing wrong with the airbags despite the airbag light randomly coming on. Recently the hybrid battery has stopped functioning properly again. We feel totally unsafe driving this car and gm doesn't seem to care. Gm should pay for any and all repairs that may be needed. Of course, conveniently for them, they say the 8 year/100,000 mile hybrid/powertrain warranty has expired even though we have not yet reached 100,000 miles.

Check engine light came on. Mechanic advised I needed a new battery. Purchased a new battery and check engine light is still on. My hybrid system is not kicking in. I researched online and read recalls on this car for this year with this problem, however my VIN number is not being recognized as one of the vehicles defected. Please help me get this fixed. Its a documented problem and my vehicle should be included on the recall list to have this repaired.
