Brake Master Cylinder Problems of Saturn VUE

On my 2006 Saturn Vue I had to replace the entire front breaking system. Plus the master cylinder to the breaking system with less than 44,000 miles on the vehicle. The problem that there no warning system on it at all. The vehicle just stop and would not go at all. It just stop dead. Luckily I was not on the interstate when this happen, because I was just going and it just stop complete and would not move at all. To me that is a safety issue to me. I found out that they know about these issue with the breaking system do not want to do anything about them either. That it involves vehicles from 2004 -2009. Because of them using cheaper products.

This happen on 2 different date. The first that the master cylinder failed and had to be replaced at only 39,111 miles on vehicle on 8/14/2018. Then the thing that happen is the vehicle just stopped and would not go at all. Engine would run but would move until it cooled off then it did it again and the problem was the entire front breaking system had to be replaced because of faulty products used. Brake rotors, brake calipers, hoses and all fluids. The that did not work took another 2 weeks for them redo them again because on going problems has been going with 2004-2009 Saturn's. Which cost me around $1214. 59.

I was driving on a busy highway, braking regularly with the stop and go traffic, my brakes suddenly locked up on me and I was barely able to get back up to 50 mph. Eventually I was close to highway speeds, but the car wasn't shifting correctly. This happened a few times, and we began replacing parts on the brakes. Then, while driving again, the brakes locked down and stopped the vehicle. Once locked, the brakes did not release, or do not release completely. And we discovered - ultimately, once this happens you simply can't fix it. The first thing that we did is we replaced the brake pads, rotors, tie rod ends and boots, because we thought the pads were going bad and the rotor was warped (the front end had started having a shimmy at higher speeds sometimes also). That seemed to fix all but the shimmy so we then replaced the two front tires and had them rebalanced and realigned. After that the brakes suddenly locked up rather hard. I managed to get off the highway safely, but the vehicle would barely do 10 mph because of the brakes locking down. We took it in and replaced parts for all of the brake system. We replaced the pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, master cylinder and the abs unit (only found in junkyards now). Then the brakes locked once again and caught fire! we put it out, but this was a known problem, especially when attempting to replace brake parts on this model. We found numerous reports online that this was a common problem for this model, and not just for 2005.
