Consumer Description

THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY 2001 SATURN L200 SNAPPED AT 45,000 MILES. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED, FIRST TO MY MECHANIC AND THEN TO A SATURN DEALER. THE TIMING CHAIN DAMAGED PARTS OF MY ENGINE AND IT COST ME $2200 TO REPAIR. THERE HAD BEEN A TSB TO UPGRADE THE TIMING CHAIN FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT OWNERS WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF IT. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT USE THE OLD TIMING CHAIN KIT AS REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE OF THE UPGRADE. SATURN HAS REFUSED ANY MONETARY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE.
