| There is a definite problem with either the engine or the electrical system on the 2005 saturn relay. we have been to dealerships and complained about these problems, but they have brushed us off by saying that it could be the weather, and they did not see any problem. the car actually goes down in rpms and the whole dashboard and lights dim when in idle. also, the idle is very rough. this should be looked at since after doing some research on some web sites there are many people with the same exact problem with this vehicle and they are also been given many different answers. p please investigate this since we have a one year old and i do not want anything to happen to her while we are using this minivan. thank you. *ak | |||

| I have a problem with the abs/traction control light coming on and the braking system will not opererate properly. there has been a few times where the brakes will not stop the vehicle properly or have locked up a couple of times. we also had to replace the egr valve do to a code 0414/0414. we also had to replace the pcm because the system locked up and deleted all the codes causing the engine to fail to start while tring to update the pcm to recognize the new egr. i also have proplems with the lights flickering and dimming all the time. these problems exist every day and i feel the vehicle is getting unsafe to drive. i have contacted gm several times and took the vehicle to a local dealership to get the pcm replaced. they would not give me the old pcm but i have the original delphi egr valve. gm said ththat the 2005 relay has recalls on the egr and pcm but my vin was not affected and refused to pay any on the repairs or pay to have the van checked out at a gm dealership. | |||
