Asked by grannyv291 Sep 09, 2017 at 06:47 PM about the 1995 Saturn S-Series 4 Dr SL2 Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Had the car for 18 months never leaked any brake fluid before..and never
had to add any brake fluid until now. There was a fluid on the ground near
rear of vehicle after that scary ride home. Replaced the broken line and
bled brakes in the correct order and still no pressure on brakes although
the parking brake does work Not driving it. Any ideas don't really want to
start replacing alot of parts if need not too. The car is 22 years old and has
139,000 miles and has been very reliable. Thanks

Is it possibly a vacuum problem? I kinda had the same problem, but I only expereinced no pressure when the car got hot and idled erratically. I conditioned the vaccum hose that feeds that brake vacuum whatchacallit and replaced some bad tubing throughout the car. The issues seem to have resolved themselves.

I have a 1998 Saturn SL2 that the braking has for the most part gone out. I've replaced the master cylinder and bled the brakes. However when I turn on the ignition, the brakes go to the floor. When I pump to build pressure, it doesn't change anything even for a second. When I park the car, bleed the brakes again there is no air coming out (only fluid). I'm at a loss. Saturn mechanic said that it can't be the booster as they are built to last to the junk yard. 12 Answers
