NHTSA Complaint #10985627 — 2009 SATURN VUE

WHEN BRAKES ARE LIGHTLY APPLIED THEY CONTINUE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU PLACE YOUR FOOT UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PULL IT UP TO GET IT TO RELEASE . THE MECHANIC DECIDED THAT THE BOOSTER OR THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS THE PROBLEM. WE FIXED TO THE TUNE OF $946.52. FIVE WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED. THIS TIME IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PIVOT PIN THAT MOUNTS THE BRAKE PEDAL UNDER THE DASH WAS SQUEEZING THE PEDAL ARM SO TIGHT THAT THE PEDAL WAS STICKING. THE PEDAL ARM WAS REMOVED AND MACHINED DOWN SO THAT IT NOW PIVOTS FREELY TO THE TUNE OF $100.00 SO IT A VERY SHORT TIME I HAVE SPENT $1046.42 IN CAR REPAIRS.
