“I own a 2007 Saturn Relay. I have had nothing but problem with the rear sliding doors. I bought in april of 2007. It was used. The passenger door started opening when I was driving. One night when I stopped to get gas a passenger got out and the door fell off. Took to dealership. Was covered under warranty they also had to paint passenger side. A few months later, the drivers side started opening up while I was driving. It opened up and I had to pull over and the door fell off while I was trying to close it on a busy highway at night. Took to dealership. …”

“On may 1, 2009 the drivers side sliding door fell off my 2007 Saturn Relay. It was immediately taken to our local Saturn dealership and to this day has yet to be fixed. We were very fortunate that none of our 5 children were hurt but they were traumatized by this incident and are afraid to ride by any sliding van door. Not only has this happened but back in february we had a incident where the steering column broke for no reason. I do not feel that Saturn/GM is taking the appropriate steps to insure that these vehicles are safe to drive or safe for passengers. …”

I electrically re-closed the door and locked the vehicle. During the week of september 1st through september 7th the same door would not close properly, unlatched when the forward driver or passenger door was closed after entering, and unlatched while I was driving on interstate I-10 passing through the mobile bay tunnel. …”
