1 Traction Control Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/21/2011

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.

2 Traction Control Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2010

I bought a used 2005 Saturn Relay 3 in January 2010. I have 2 major issues going power sliding doors will not recognize that they are closed and will continue to ding as if I was driving with them open. . . On a few occasions I have heard the power door motor start on its own as if it was trying to open the doors while I am driving! second issue is abs/traction control lights have been coming on sporadically since I purchased it. Of course, no one can find the problem because they can't replicate it. It doesn't matter the driving conditions, driving time, weather or anything else. Both have happened at various speeds. Currently the lights are staying on more than off and yesterday while driving, the warning lights were off until I stepped on the brakes, felt and heard a clunking sound, the brake petal gave way some, and the service abs/no traction control lights came back on again. The car did stop. Talked to the used car dealership that sold it to me and I am currently making arrangements to have vehicle looked at. In researching I have found numerous complaints about these same issues on a number of forums.
