Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Saturn SL1

When going from a higher rate of speed to a low rate of speed (65 mph to 25 mph or 40 mph to 15 mph) the vehicle accelerates while the brake is depressed. Also, when applyng the brakes, the car does not always stop within the normal distance . While driving at about 35 mph and slowing to a rate of about 15 mph entering a highway ramp, lost control of the car on the wet roadway whcih caused me to skid and go up onto the curb. The vehicle was towed and had approx. $2500 worth of damge. Luckily, there were no injuries to the 5 people inside the vehicle. I thought this was due to roadway conditions until it happened again. I was traveling at approx. 20 mph slowing for a stop sign ahead. I pressed on the brake but the car would not stop and I had no control of the vehicle. Thankfully, there was not an accident this time. Again, it was raining lightly. I have made an appointment with the dealer.

When car is placed in driver or neutral, rpms rev up and stick. Potential hazard. Saturn said their diagnostic machine found nothing. 45 minutes after I had it checked I returned to Saturn and spoke with tech and car presented with problem. He changed what he called a "heat/cool sensor" and problem subsided for 3 days. Now problem presents again.

Vehicle lost all power on two occasions, on first occasion, vehicle stalled while consumer was traveling 30 mph, vehicle would not restart and it was towed where dealer could not find anything wrong, the second occasion the vehicles electrical system turned off and on and vehicle would not restart, dealer again could not find any problems, dealer took a best guess and replaced the crankshaft position sensor and consumer states the vehicle has been running okay so far.

Intermittently, the vehicle accelerates by itself, rpms go above 3,500, vehicle taken to dealership 3 times (Jan,2000) for the same problem, dealer could not duplicate the problem and said the cumputer did not show any problem with the vehicle. Cj.

While driving the vehicle the vehicle will just take off without any warning this has happen several times. Call the dlr and they said that they can not do any thing. The power makes a loud noise and decreases speed all by itself. The it will loss speed and then die out shutting the whole vehicle off.

Driving, speed control set on speed limit, started braking to slow down, car speeded up instead, via off hwy, car lost control, spunned, hit guardrail.
