Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY VEHICLE DIED COMPLETELY, UPON HAVING THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED I WAS TOLD THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VALVES. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ONLY HAS 51,500 MILES, A TIMING "CHAIN" SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 51,500 MILES. SATURN HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO HELP IN ANYWAY TO COVER THE COSTS, BUT THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A USED ONE FOR AROUND 4000 DOLLARS
