Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The brake pedal is always low and some times bottoms out when you first start driving the car. you can't stop. record of complaint is on file with saturn, but they just blew me off because they check out the car, but said it was ok. i showed them that by pumping the breaks a few times that the pedal would bottom and breaking was lost. they duplicated it but refused to admit it was a problem. now my sons are driving and i can't let them drive the car because they are not experienced enough drivers and if they every get into a panic stop situation they need to have extra room for gliding as the wheels won't lock up. i made saturn replace the master break cylinder and the problem became worse. i have the old master break cylinder. *nm
