#8 of 39 Saturn Sky Brake Problems by tinoonit Nov 28, 2007 (7:57 am)
My 08' Sky Redline is only a month old. This happens to me too! It's so scary! I filed complaints on www.NHTSA.com and I took it to the dealer last night. I now have a rent a car and await to see what they are going to say. Others say to let the car warm up each time to get the brakes to work properly. Like i'm going to do that each time. No way! If the car is not fixed, I may return the car. What if someone else were to drive the car or if I took it to a valet???????   Someone could be hurt, killed, or my car might be wrecked. I'm very upset. Replies to this message: carguy916 (Nov 30, 2007 9:17 am) jodenessky (Mar 12, 2008 8:30 pm)

Replying to: tinoonit (Nov 28, 2007 7:57 am) Hey Tinoonit, let me know what the dealer finally decides. When I took my Redline to the dealer, they scratched their heads and finally called Saturn. Saturn's reply was - it's normal, just let it warm up before driving!!!! I told the mgr at the dealership. Now they warn new buyers. This is too much liability exposure for Saturn to continue to ignore forever. A fix must be forthcoming.

has anyone learned anything new about this Saturn Sky "no brakes are available until the car warms up" issue that would care to share it with the rest of us? Replies to this message: carguy916 (Dec 07, 2007 3:19 pm) medicup (Dec 07, 2007 6:03 pm)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Dec 07, 2007 11:38 am) Like I wrote before, I got a call one evening from Saturn Corp asking for more detail. That was the last contact I have had.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Dec 07, 2007 11:38 am) I filed a formal complaint with the NHTSA (a division of the DOT) via their website. Pretty easy form to fill out. I then emailed Saturn via their website and told them I'd filed the complaint and finished the email with "when you come to your senses and decide to fix this problem, please contact me."   I received a call from Saturn within 48 hours but they only left a message. Unfortunately the person enunciated so poorly I couldn't understand the number they left so I've not spoken with them again. I assume it's probably the standard, "We value your concerns but we aren't gonna do anything about it" courtesy call.   Yesterday I received an email from an NHTSA representative asking for more information on my complaint. Hopefully they'll get something done with GM.
#13 of 39 Somebody needs to do something about that by iluvmysephia1 Dec 07, 2007 (7:03 pm)
issue because as everyone reading this forum already knows, that is just not right. And the sister car the Pontiac Solstice doesn't have the same problem, either. I have not heard of such a glitch before but it sounds like it could get very dangerous if someone just takes off right away(as if that is some kind of automotive driving sin or something!).   I hope you guys get a good fix for this soon, I really do.

#14 of 39 2008 GXP Solstice has same brake problem as Sky by johnnieboy Dec 27, 2007 (10:58 pm)
I bought my Solstice in late October and found the same brake problem that "you'al" had stated about the Sky. I'll be watching if GM does have a fix.   I saw on CNN that GM is doing a recall on sky's, solstice's and Cadillacs because of a gas leakage problem that can cause loss of driver control. Anybody heard or has experienced such an issue?   John
#17 of 39 At the dealer now- filed complaint NHTSA by karinj Mar 03, 2008 (1:20 pm)
I filed my complaint today: 10219931. 2008 redline, automatic. One week after I bought it, it started to not stop work until warmed up. Very scary the first time. I took it in, they replaced the module switch- did not work. Took it in a week ago today- they say they do not know what is wrong.
