2009 Saturn Vue Brakes Problems

“While in motion on a city street going up hill, the car was having a problem accelerating up hill. When going downhill, the car would stop, and the brakes would lock up. Have to use acceleration when going downhill in order for it to move. Finally when I made it home and parked there was a loud noise (like something was scraping against something). And then the service traction control light came on. When I got out the car, it smelled like burnt metal. …”

I frantically, somehow was able to maneuver 5-6 lanes of traffic and pull over onto the shoulder. …”

“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.
