Until an embarrassing whining or squealing noise or "spongy" feeling in the pedal brings them to our attention, Saturn Ion Brakes tend to be "out of sight, out of mind." Still, driving without a good working set of brakes wouldn't just be illegal, it would be insane - being as any sensible life form will do anything to protect its own life. We, as human beings should be out to protect others as well. The modern automotive brake system consists of several components, with are operated with a special hydraulic fluid.

This fluid expands when the pedal is applied, exerting considerable force which operates the calipers. A brake petal that feels "soft" or "spongy" has a definite problem.

The solution may be as simple as to add hydraulic brake fluid to the master cylinder reservoir. If this doesn't bring the brake pedal back up, chances are that you have a leak in the brake system. Another problem is indicated when brakes begin making that obnoxious whining or squealing noise. This means that brake pads are starting to wear. These be replaced as soon as possible so as to avoid brake rotor damage. Our large inventory of discount Saturn parts makes it economical to keep those Saturn Ion Brakes functioning at their best.
