Five problems related to brake disc rotor have been reported for the 1999 Saturn SL1. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Oil was leaking from the engine going under the intake manifold. Consumer contacted the manufacturer to resolve this issue. However, manufacturer was only willing to pay $200. 00 toward the cost of repairing the vehicle. Consumer was afraid that the defect may cause the vehicle to develop a blown head gasket. . . . . . Vehicle experienced vibration in steering wheel when driving 50 mph due to defective brake rotors. Also, replaced engine head gasket.
Front rotors are making a rumbling noise dealer had advised consumer to submit a complaint due to "flaking problems" within the rotors. As per mechanic front rotors looked like they were disintegrating. Wear out of rotors and brakes could cause an automobile accident.
The quality of the rotors is questionable and may lead to brake failures.
Vehicle has had 3 multiple incidents of heavy brake pulsation caused by front rotors, and one failure of abs sensors causing abs failure. Dealer cannot correct recurring pulsation problems.
When applying brakes brake pedal pumps. Also, while driving between 55-65mph steering wheel wobbles. Dealership was contacted about vehicle. Owner was told that rotors needed to be replaced. Please provide any further information.
