One problem related to transmission gear slipping has been reported for the 2006 Saturn Relay. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2006 Saturn Relay based on all problems reported for the 2006 Relay.
Attempted low/moderate acceleration from stop; transmission seemed to slip with engine rpm increasing but no transfer of power beyond about initial half-foot of forward motion, then hard shifted into gear (lurched the vehicle) and accelerated rapidly. This event was initially intermittent and not able to be reproduced by mechanic. It has now become frequent and affects shifting at highway speeds as well as from stop, making control of acceleration unpredictable is hard shifting through most gears when this is occurring, although at other times it shifts very smoothly throughout, making it more difficult to reproduce for mechanic.
