| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Brake Master Cylinder problems | |
| Brake Disc problems | |
| Brake Electric Antilock problems |
The master cylinder failed x2 resulting in my rear ending a Jeep. The repair cost to the car and to replace the defective master cylinder cost me over $1500 out of pocket . This should not have failed in less than 70,000 miles. The 2nd time it went out I was on the freeway and fortunately was able to get off and use my emergency brake to get it to the shop. This is not acceptable as Saturn is supposed to be a reliable car. To have a major safety issue in a car with approx 26k on it is just not an optionl.
I'm from canada. No safety defect listed in summary.
Applied brakes on rainy road. Vehicle slid through red light & broadsided another vehicle. Driver hit side left window & steering wheel. Then hit light pole. Air bags deployed. Driver was unconscience. The rear seat collapsed forward after being hit.
