NHTSA Complaint #10340533 — 2005 SATURN RELAY

I HAVE A 2005 SATURN RELAY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE "USED" FROM SATURN OF TEMPE ON MARCH 1ST, 2009. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I PURCHASED IT WAS 62,245. ONE YEAR LATER I STARTED GETTING "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM" WARNING MESSAGE AND LIGHT WITH "SERVICE ABS SYSTEM" WARNING MESSAGE AND LIGHT OCCASIONALLY, BUT BOTH WERE ALWAYS AT THE SAME TIME. SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING (PER OWNER?S MANUAL) TEMPORARILY CAUSED THE LIGHTS AND MESSAGES TO TURN OFF, BUT RETURNED DAYS LATER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FLETCHER'S TIRE AND AUTO SERVICE IN MARICOPA, AZ ON 3/23/2010. THE SERVICE SHOP (FLETCHER'S) PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK OF THE ABS SYSTEM; DETERMINING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY; COSTING ME $452.36. THIS REPAIR TEMPORARILY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. ONE MONTH LATER ON 5/26/2010 I BEGIN TO GET THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES. SO I TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO FLETCHER?S AUTO BECAUSE THEY GUARANTEE THEIR WORK. UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ERROR AND HAD THE SAME FRONT LEFT WHEEL HUB REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE PARTS MANUFACTURER AT NO COST TO ME. NOW ONE MONTH LATER I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. SO I START LOOKING ONLINE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS AND CHAT ROOM DISCUSSIONS WITH A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AT SUCH WEB ADDRESSES AS; WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM AND WWW.SATURNFANS.COM NOW WITH THIS INFORMATION I LOOK FOR RECALLS AND FIND NOTHING. SO I CALL SATURN OF TEMPE AND SPEAK TO A GENTLEMAN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO GAVE ME THE NAME MIKE. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THE PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I HAD TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC (FLETCHER'S) AND HAD THE HUB ASSEMBLY REPLACED TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. HE STATED THAT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR HIM TO LOOK AT, BUT THAT THERE WOULD BE A $65 ?DIAGNOSTIC? FEE. I DECLINED EXPLAINING TO HIM THAT I HAD ALREADY INVESTED $450 DOLLARS IN IT AND WOULD RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS MECHANIC. *TR
