Overview & Reviews
The Relay is an all-new "crossover sport van." Think of it as a minivan with an SUV-like front end.
- Smooth ride and handling, lots of nifty interior storage spaces, innovative multimedia storage system, available all-wheel drive.
- Engine power and refinement not up to class leaders, no side curtain airbags.

Worst Ever - 2005 Saturn Relay
By Gerri - July 7 - 10:22 amI bought this car used from a car dealer in Sterling Colorado. Its by far the worst unreliable vehicle I've ever owned. The previous two owners never went and got the recalls fixed, the car lot knew this and never told me. I went over a bump and all the sounds from everything went out. The doors don't open when I want them to but will when I don't want. It gets the worst has mileage even in the highest.

Bad Choice - 2005 Saturn Relay
By Latasha118 - December 7 - 11:46 amThis is a complete lemon. Within the 1st year I had no heat. Rear and front windshield wiper motor went out. Truck will not close. Saturn had to replace my radio because when you turn to a station it goes blank. It was only 2 that would go blank but the car was brand new. Power Sliding door not working, one day I went to close the trunk . It wouldnt close at all, Saturn could not explain why. Makes blowing noises when car is off. Drivers window fell completely down. I could go on. I have 3 kids and its nice and roomy but Im looking to trade this lemon in. Saturn gave me free oil changes but thats no good when Im there 1 a week. The guy at the dealership said they stop making these...

Crapola from GM - 2005 Saturn Relay
By 62Sunbeam - February 4 - 8:56 pmThree years on I am still kicking myself for buying this horrible vehicle! I have never in all my life seen a more poorly made vehicle on the road. This includes a mid 80s Sonata. This car has been in the dealer more times than all of my precious cars combined. Faulty ABS system, Bad brakes, bad A/C, bad DVD, bad front wheel bearings, bad side doors, bad suspension, bad parking brake adjuster, bad side trim, and overall horrendous build quality. I would sell it but it has NO replacement value and I foolishly took out a loan to buy it. so it is now worth about 8 grand less than I owe. I tried to have the warranty extended as a courtesy but I was told to take a hike and with 34000 on th

18 trips to the shop in 2 yrs. - 2005 Saturn Relay
By J Robinson - April 13 - 10:40 amIve bought 2 relays. My 1st was totaled in an accident so we bought a 2nd. Ive been to the shop 18 times in 2.5 yrs. Ive had my rotors replaced 2x, 5 drive belts in 8 wks., 2 tensioner in 8 wks., new heater system, onstar unit, side panels, wood trim, pwr steering unit. Ive had my computer reset so my headlights dont fail. My pwr doors open when driving, (with my 3 children in the back.) those are just some of the problems weve had. Ive dealt w/ Saturn assistance & they offered me free oil changes to make it right. I will never buy another Saturn again. I may never buy gm b/c of this. I no longer support Saturn in anyway. They do not take care of their customers.

Unsatisfied first time Saturn buyer - 2005 Saturn Relay
By D. Rob - January 8 - 8:23 pmI purchased my Saturn Relay in May of 2005 and have had nothing but problems. The roof racked leaked, door trim fell off, its missing a seat belt buckle, the inside trim has started to fall off, and the fuse panel will not stay closed. I bought this Relay right off of the showroom floor. I would not recommend a Saturn Relay to anybody.

Saturn Relay - 2005 Saturn Relay
By Lori - March 15 - 8:10 amI have found several problems with this car and its only a few months old.. First I will be having the radio replaced for the 3rd time since purchasing this car in February. It seems to be shorting out and it makes the steering wheel extremely hot. The car also does NOT have any pick up, I have had other minivans in the past and this is the worst when it comes to that. It also has a habit of shaking as you are braking in the event of having to do so in a quick situation. It makes a grinding noise when you are braking as well. The service center claims this is normal and cannot find anything wrong with it. I would not recommend this car nor would I purchase one again.

Worst car ever - 2005 Saturn Relay
By gallagher - October 5 - 7:56 pmIt is very sad that I report on this. At first we thought it was a good and boy were we wrong. It was given to us by a friend that need us to take over payments and our credit was to bad to get one on our own. Now we are stuck with a lemon nothing but problems - bad brakes, door, tires, trim, abs brakes and the dealers has bad service and now that it is out of warranty.

They missed it on this one... - 2005 Saturn Relay
By unhappysaturn - April 2 - 7:53 pmIve had a several different brake problems (some very serious), non-stop problems with my sliding doors, Ive had a seatbelt that was bad and when they serviced it they told me there was nothing wrong with it but when I get the service record a year later I find out that they replaced the seatbelt, my driver side air bag was faulty, my radio has been replaced 3 times, my dvd player has been replaced once, the trim on my car has been replaced more times then I can count because it peels off, theres a piece of trim now that has completely deteriorated after being replace about a year ago, I had to have my brakes rewired, Ive had my windshield reset many times and the noise issue stil

Lemon - 2005 Saturn Relay
By fab - July 16 - 5:13 pmI had a Vue before I got the Relay and loved it but the Relay is another story. It has been worked on by the dealer 7 times in less than 4 years. All 7 times has been for the same problems! Its not the dealer because I have been to 2 with the same results. Dont waste your money on this car and save yourself a headache.

JUNK - 2005 Saturn Relay
By YoseMom - June 26 - 12:30 amJUNK I had been waiting for over five years for Saturn to come out with a minivan. But this is not a Saturn (and Saturn isnt the company it used to be) it is a piece of junk. Constantly in the shop. Over heats going uphills (even with the heater on full blast)Brakes unreliable, smoke going down hill even in 2nd gear, sometimes brakes dont take when coming to stop signs. Finally got the ABS light fixed $2000 later. Passenger door still doesnt close right. Makes grinding noise sometimes when starts, sometimes doesnt start at all. NOT SAFE. I wish I had never bought it. Still owe between $5000 and $10000 more than its worth on it. Anyone heard of any class action suits with/about it yet?
