Brake Whining Noise problem #1

Owner noticed a whining noise when turning at low speeds. Dealer diagnosed a failed steering rack (pinion), leaking power steering pump, and leaking water pump. Vehicle was purchased new in 2009 and currently has 39,000 miles (no longer under bumper to bumper warranty).

Brake Sensor problem #2

Driving on highway when warning appeared "traction control offline" "service stabilitrak". My husband had received the same warning two days earlier. So we took it to the Saturn dealership. The tech asked us if we drove "two footed" ie braking and accelerating at the same time. We do not do that. We were then advised that the sensors for the position of the brake pedal needed to be replaced the part was only $11. 40 but we were charged for 2 hours of labor!.
