| 2005 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I BOUGHT MY 2005 RELAY BRAND NEW FROM THE SATURN DEALER. ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER THE ABS LIGHT WENT ON AND I HAD IT SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. 1 MONTH LATER ABS LIGHT AGAIN. THE HUB WAS REPLACED AND THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. ABS LIGHT AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSOR. ONE MONTH LATER REPLACED THE SENSOR AGAIN. I STARTED HAVING SOME SHAKING WHEN BRAKING THEN THE ABS LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC INSTEAD OF THE DEALER THINKING THAT MAYBE THE DEALER MECHANICS WERE SHORT-CUTTING ON REPAIRS. THE PRIVATE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE ABS LIGHT STILL COMES ON ALL THE TIME. THE 2005 SATURN RELAY NEEDS A RECALL! *KB |
