Service Brakes problem #1

The brakes on my 2002 Sl1 Saturn had to be replaced at 15,000 mi; now, at 30,000 mi, the Saturn dealership is telling me they need to be replaced again. I previously had a 1991 Saturn Sl1, for 11 years and with more than 100,000 mi, and did not have any problems with the brakes, so it's not my style of driving - it's apparently the equipment on the car itself (and the replacement parts as well. ).

Brake Disc Rotor problem #2

Consumer complained about front brake rotors. Front brake rotors were replaced on two separate occasions, but the problem recurred.

Brake Foundation Components problem #3

Automatic transmission not able to shift into low gear while descending steep grade/mountain roads. Brakes are scorched due to excessive pedal application, and controlling vehicle is with difficulty. Please describe details.
