This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I too have had repeated brake problems with my SL1. The first time Saturn replaced them because at 25,000 miles, they should not be bad. Then at 45,000 miles it happened again! the service man told me it was because I was "riding" the brake. Of course it was my fault - not! I argued with him, but lost. Had to pay almost $400 dollars for a brake job that was already replaced and should have been under warranty. I asked him if I was going to be changing the rotors again in 30,000 miles, he said no. It should last till 50,000 miles. Guess what"!" 25,000 miles later, it is having the same problems. Not only that, I now have a cracked/blown head gasket to which after many inquiries, seems to happen alot in the SL1 models. We'll see what happens, but needless to say I will not be investing in "a different kind of car company" anymore.
Vehicle's traction control failed, causing the vehicle to hydroplane and spin out of control and off highway. While spinning, ABS brakes failed and caused wheels to lock up.
