We had sudden brake failure on our 2002 L200 that could not be duplicated and they say there is no other complaints of such a event. I am trying to figure out if there are any other complaint/case numbers that people have from when they took their car in to a dealer. Please email me at last0701stcloudstate.edu. And information is appreciated!

Anyone have a problem with relay chatter noise coming from driverside firewall area
when pushing on the brake while car is in motion ? Brakes seem to operate just fine.

I am having trouble with my 96 Saturn SL where the ABS light comes on occasionally and the problem is low pedal. It seems that the rear brakes are not working. If I adjust the rear brakes up (by removing drums) the pedal is better for a short while. It is as if the rear brakes are not getting pressure due to a bad master cylinder or malfunctioning ABS valve not allowing pressure to reach the rear brakes.
What did you find to be the root cause of your brake pedal problem as it sounds similar to mine. Thanx, Jeff

My 2003 LW200 experienced a master brake cylinder failure this past Sat.
It is currently at the dealership being repaired, to the tune of almost $3,000. They tell me this is rare and can provide no cause or explanation. The left front and right rear brakes froze on and caused a fire in the wheels.

Hi I know this was a while back. This morning I experienced a sudden brake failure and haven't been able to replicate it. Did you ever hear from others or get the problem fixed?
