I had to replace both rear calipers due to leaking brake fluid.

Vehicle: 2008 Saturn Aura xe with 45,000 miles. Problem: total brake failure. The braided brake line segment underneath the master cylinder ruptured allowing the brake fluid to leak all over the engine bay. The steel braid was compromise by what looked like a chemical corrosive. The actual hole was less than one eighth inch in diameter. The blue plastic brake hose ruptured/bubbled like an aneurysm. Total break failure resulted within a few brake pumps. Repair: the car was towed to the gm dealership. The brake lines (2) were repaired under extended warranty. Both lines had several signs of corrosive activity on the steel braid. Conclusion: I was very lucky to not have had an accident.

The contact owns a 2007 Saturn Aura. The contact stated while driving, the brake lights came on and when she engaged the brake pedal, the brake lights shut off. The failure was diagnosed three times by a mechanic and the brake light switch was replaced; however, the failure was not corrected. The dealer stated the problem was within the brake light switch and the repair was not permanent. The brake master cylinder was also defective because the rubber around the cylinder had to be replaced when the brake fluid leaked. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 81,000.
