problem #1

Apr 172007

Ion 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 22,086 miles
Driving down "grand ave" in stop and go traffic speeds from 0 to 25 on and off. Traffic started moving and then came to a complete stop like normal. Stepped on brakes, they went all the way to the floor and my Saturn Ion did not stop, it was like they gave out on me. Had fender binder with car in front of me. No damage to their Jeep, I have taken to autobody solutions by Saturn and will have the following replaced: Bumper cover, absorber, impact bar, light corner cover, car cover, flex additive and the following repaired: Frame set up & measure, buff, tint color. When I told them the brakes gave out on me, that they went all the way to the floor and I did not slow down that there is nothing wrong with your brakes as your driving fine now. If they gave out on you, they still would not be working.
