| For 3 years i have been complaining to saturn about my saturn s series cars. one is an sl2 the other is a saturn wagon. in both cases when the weather has been either snowy or rainy or the roads have been slick when i try to turn the corner in the cars the brakes do not engage initally. i hear a clunking like noise which saturn has yet to be able to reproduce & then my attempts to engage the brakes do not work as soon as they should. this has caused quite a bit of concern since i could be on the freeway when this happens or just driving my children to school & when i take a corner the brakes do not fully engage. i was first told that i needed to replace the brakes which i did & it still didn't make a difference beyond the first month after being repaired. i have been told it was the tires again replaced but problem still has come back. i was told the roads are just slick due to the first rains, snow etc of the season. i have taken it to saturn who says they can't find the problem & although i have a history of complaining about it they have yet to offer a solution. thankfully we have yet to have an accident since i have on occasion resorted to using the emergency brake in order to avoid a collision but since i saw the article about the gm trucks having the same problem i thought that maybe someone would listen to me & have the s series saturns checked out as well. i showed a copy of the gm truck brake recall to my local saturn & asked them to check this on my car & was told it wasn't necessary since it couldn't possibly be this as i don't have a truck. i have listed the most recent incident date & the number of failures for this current year. | |||
