Brake Electric Antilock problems of the 1997 Saturn SL2

While driving vehicle w/emergency brakes on of had no knowledge. Was coming off freeway & was applying brakes, vehicle failed to slow down or stop. Started to suddenly accelerate. Turned vehicle off. Had it towed to dealer & found back brakes burnt out. Orginial brakes checked & was not burnt out. Owner has brake parts.

Ongoing probem with transmission not changing gears properly on any speed, and slow responding from a stop position/take off, hesitation. Also, brake pedal would intermittently go to the floor before vehicle stopped. Dealer notified on three occasions, and was informed that nothing could be found consumer is concerned that this vehicle is unsafe to operate, and will be trading it in within a few mont asking NHTSA to look into this matter before passing it on .

I bought a new 1997 Saturn , paid cash and 2 months after purchase, I had brake problems. Put brakes on, could not stop the car (6/7/97). Saturn did nothing regarding this. They said I was not use to the brakes. Tapped the back of a van. 2. ) had grand child in car, backing into garage brakes did not hold again. Hit sand bags husband had in garage that stopped car. Some nut came from another state, sisn't drive even 2 miles and saidm there was nothing wrong with the brakes!!!!! I worked in a vocational high school (c. V. S. ) in chicago, IL, they told me that the inspection was not right. Wrote to everbody, not help from nobody!!!!! I would never recommend a Saturn to anyone!!!they are lemons!!!I put a sign in my car saying don't buy a Saturn, you'll get a lemon like mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Defective fan belt tensioner assembly failed, causing a loss of power steering and abs while making u-turn.
