| Parking Brake problems |
The contact owns 1999 Saturn Sl1. The contact was driving 45 mph when the shift cable fractured and caused the vehicle to shift into neutral. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer made repairs to the vehicle. On a later date, the contact applied the emergency brake before exiting the vehicle. When he returned, the emergency brake had independently disengaged. The contact discovered that the emergency brake button was defective. The contact was able to order the necessary part from the dealer to make repairs himself. The contact was concerned that had he been parked on a hill, the vehicle could potentially have rolled away. The failure mileage was 103,000.
My hand brake button suddenly popped out showing to be broken and I could no longer put the hand brake in place. Still trying to find a fix. Difficult to park on steep driveways.
Parking brake fell apart causing vehicle to roll backwards into street, the spring found on the floor.
