2007 Saturn Sky Brakes Problems

“After I parked my Saturn SKY in my daughter-in-law's driveway for approximately 15 minutes, my son-in-law and I heard a loud pop from my Saturn SKY. About 5 minutes later, my Saturn SKY drifted backwards out of the driveway (slight downhill direction) and into the street. My son-in-law ran after the car and caught up to it just as stopped drifting backwards uphill in the street and began drifting forward in a downhill direction. He was able to reach into the car (the convertible top was down) and set the emergency brake. While doing so, the car ran over his foot injuring his toe. …”

“Revs forward by reving forward I mean that when I come to a stop the car goes forward many times until I complete a stop and everytime that happens engine light goes on. I have already change the brakes and still problem continues. Air bag I have fixed it when it when off and spend around $1100 in total and months later when on again. I really dont have the money to fix it anymore so please help and fix my car.”

“The parking brake does not engage at all even though the parking brake lever give resistance as normal and only lifts about 5 clicks from the bottom. the vehicle rolls when it is engaged as though it is not even pulled up. This is especially scary because it is a manual vehicle. Only hast 58,449 miles on it. No warning lamps. Have not had it looked at by a dealer or repair facility at this time”

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the cable needed to be adjusted. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,000.”
