Service Brakes Problems of Saturn ION - part 2

: the contact stated while driving 45 mph, the brakes on the vehicle were depressed all the way to the floor with no reaction. The hand brake was engaged, which slowed the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where it was determined the brakes needed adjustment. The brakes were adjusted, but the problems continued.

I bought my 2004 Saturn Ion 2 coupe and had to replace the front rotors in the first 2 years, they were worn down to the iron. I bought american steel rotors from midas. I'm still using the new rotors and everything, including the brakes, are still like new. My car is in a garage and I don't do much driving. I had the same problem when I had my new 1992 Saturn sl1. Now I'm told my sway bar is going again. This will be the 3rd time. I was told that was normal for the brakes and the sway bar because it's a Saturn and I needed to drive it and apply the brakes harder and parts for the sway bar on the 2004 had to be imported and were poorly made. I find this suspicious to say the least. I have never been in an accident or even a fender bender. I noted 2006 on my Saturn 2010 from it's first problem, a year later on the sway bar and a couple more years on the 2nd sway bar. The 1992 Saturn was an ongoing situation with the rotors till I junked it around 2011.

: the contact stated while traveling 60 mph, down an icy hill the brake pedal went to the floor and the brakes did not respond. The vehicle coasted to a stop and was towed to the dealership. A diagnostic test was performed, which determined there was no failure associated with the vehicle. While driving off the lot, the brake pedal went to the floor again. The manufacturer has been alerted. Updated 05/22/06.

2004 Saturn Ion experiencing problems with the brake equipment.

I purchased a 3005 Saturn Ion coupe 3 5/31/05 with in the past 7 months,the car has been back to the dealership 5 times. The day after I picked up the vehicle, I noticed a thumping noise in the back. After bringing back to the dealership, I was told that the rear rotors needed to be replaced. This did not fix the noise. My second trip the dealership indicated that I needed new rear brake drums. Because they were warped (future conversations with the sales manager indicated that this was completely normal, that if the car sits for a few weeks without being driven, the drums will warp, which leads me to think that Saturn should re think the quality of parts they use. ) since that time, I have brought the car in for a defective radio (which was replaced) a drivers window that wouldn't go down (motor replaced) and the cruise control not working (after 2 times, it was replaced). I finally was able to speak with the area manager last week after I called Saturn customer service to log a complaint for the second time. He offered me free basic maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations) for 2 years. This was the first time that anyone at Saturn had offered to do anything for my time/inconvenience. Very poor customer service/satisfaction.
