My Redline Broke down again

[JPK]

I have no problems with my brakes yet (knocks on wood).

I have done the 125 back down to 55 quite often too.

I apologize to all the guys who've heard this story a hundred times already, but my front rotors are gouged and here's a picture of it.

The backs are smooth.

I'm almost at 10,000 miles and have never had any problems with stopping or "wobbling." The dealer said, "it was normal because all the Red Lines do it."

This is what they said was wrong with backs ...hot spots. I took one of the mechs for a 90mph ride & they started to thump well they fixed that. Now from 60ish the fronts are doing who knows what causing the steering wheel to wobble. Do they make those dust-free pads for IONs?

I'm getting a wobble in the steering wheel with frim braking when getting off the highway around 65 mph....gotta have the dealer look at it when i take it in for the ECU upgrade....oh yeah, and my rotors are gouged pretty much exactly like the posted pic.

I've been in contact with Wilwood and Brembo about brake upgrades and they are working with their engineers to build them. On my original problem I talked to an area manager out of Springhill TN for the Florida area and she said that they now have a new new upgrade for the ECU(disc 14 which she said every Saturn service department should have) that should help the problem for good this time, right. She did say that to compensate my troubles that Saturn would either make a payment on my car or something else. That calmed me down quite a bit. Saturn is definitely standing behind me and attempting to help which is awsome. I will make the appointment tomorrow and will update this thread with the progress or lack of.

Having a problem with mine to, 6 times in the shop for the start problem. I'm wait for a Saturn Tech from spring hill to come look at my RL. If he can't fix it I get a new RL. The good old lemon law.
