The Saturn Relay pronounced the headmost and exclusive age automaker Saturn unreal an entry into the minivan bazaar. Related to the other minivans of the Public Motors (GM) family--the Buick Terraza, Chevrolet Uplander and Pontiac Montana SV6--it was essentially a rebadged Chevrolet/Pontiac vehicle. Feasibly owing to of that, consumer reaction was lukewarm, and the Relay lasted apart two agedness: 2005 to 2007. It was replaced by the crossover SUV, the Future.
The "Check Engine" lambent may illuminate in some 2005 and 2006 Relays due to failure of the Delphi EGR valve installed. In such cases, the Delphi valves are replaced with Seimens ones.
Horns
In some Relays, the all-inclusive process may refuse to competency up, which can be solved by removing the fuse for approximately 5 minutes. In other cases, the global positioning method might lose precision, which could be due to the machine's window tinting--or caused by objects placed on the rear piece shelf whether the antenna is placed there.
Engine
2005 and 2006 Relays are prone to engine stalling or failing to begin. In some cases, the wiring connectors under the Chauffeur's seat would must to be replaced due to wetness and/or corrosion. In other cases, the vehicle might compulsion a replacement of the fuel comparable sender.
In some 2005 Relays with 3.5-liter engines, a whistling rumpus may be produced during acceleration, thus requiring replacement of the PCV tube.

Electrical System
A everyday dilemma with Saturn Relays is with their electrical systems. A malicious chip in the powertrain curb module (PCM) could adversely act on the fuel pump and the exhaust Gauze recirculation (EGR) development, thus requiring replacement of the PCM.Again, there could be descendant problems with OnStar, a subscription-based electronic supply matchless installed in GM vehicles.Some 2005 and 2006 Relays may have difficulty with the proper function of their car horns due to extra pressure required on some spots of the steering wheel pads. Softer springs are available to retrofit on the wheel.
Brakes
Some 2005 Relays may fail to comply the requirements of FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) No. 135 for car brake systems. The standard requires that the vehicle not move for 5 minutes when it stops on a steep hill while being in neutral. At no cost, dealers can check for parking brake lever slippage at each rear brake caliper, performing caliper replacement if necessary.
