Consumer Description

TTHIS WAS THE THIRD OCCURRENCE. WHEN THE FIRST OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SATURN DEALERSHIP IN BOWIE MARYLAND FOR CHECK/REPAIR, BUT THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM AND RELEASED THE CAR BACK TO NORNAL DRIVING AS O K . THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AT DIFFERENT DRIVING SPEEDS AND IS VERY SCARY TO APPLY THE BRAKES ONLY TO KEEP GOING. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS ACTED NORMALLY ON ONE OCCASION AND HAS GONE TO THE FLOOR ON OTHER OCCASIONS, BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO ROLL WHILE PRESSURE IS STILL APPLIED ON ALL OCCASIONS. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND PROPER FLUID LEVEL, BOTH O K . PLEASE ADVISE AS TO THE BEST AND PROPER PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW TO HELP CORRECT THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE NO WARNING WHEN THE BRAKES FAIL. I FEEL OUR LIVES AND OTHERS MAY BE SAVED BY YOUR ADVICE AND RECCOMMENDATIONS . THANK YOU , JAMES A. LANDEN. *AK
