| Tl*the contact owns a 2008 saturn sky redline. upon starting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the brakes were inoperative. he attempted to utilize the brakes several times while backing out of his driveway. he had to pump the brake pedal over eight times in order for the braking system to engage. on a separate occasion, while driving less than 5 mph, the braking system would not operate and the vehicle rolled away until it stopped on its own. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that a pump was needed, which would assist the braking system with building up pressure in order for the brakes to engage. the failure and current mileages were less than 14,000. updated 3/19/09 *cn updated 03/25/09.*jb | |||

| I was trying to turn the ac on becuase it is 102 degrees outside. when i was turning the knob on the climate control module to cold it never changed it stayed blowing hot. also when i tried to get the fan to blow towards me it was stuck in the mode where it blows on the floor. while it is stuck in the mide and wonrt changed its steady blowing out hot air evern when the module for the fan is turned off. this is crazy that most of the saturn vue i read have the same problem and something is always missing. there needs to be a serious recall on this vechile since these were the last ones made. | |||
