| Brakes Failed problems |
The contact owns a 2008 Saturn Sky Redline. Upon starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the brakes were inoperative. He attempted to utilize the brakes several times while backing out of his driveway. He had to pump the brake pedal over eight times in order for the braking system to engage. On a separate occasion, while driving less than 5 mph, the braking system would not operate and the vehicle rolled away until it stopped on its own. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that a pump was needed, which would assist the braking system with building up pressure in order for the brakes to engage. The failure and current mileages were less than 14,000. Updated 3/19/09 updated 03/25/09.
