Consumer Description

I OWN A 1998 SATURN SC2 AND I HAVE HAD MANY COSTLY PROBLEMS WITH IT. ON OCTOBER 5, 2004 THE ENGINE FAILED BECAUSE OF A TIMING CHAIN AND NOW THE WHOLE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REBUILT. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE CAR HAS BEEN CONSUMING AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF OIL. IN MARCH OF 2004 I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL INJECTORS AND O2 SENSOR REPLACED. I HAVE HAD MANY EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. *NM
