Consumer Description

NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THIS FAILURE. I OWN A 2001 SATURN L200 SEDAN. UP UNTIL NOW THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD VEHICLE. THE CAR JUST TURNED OVER 70K MILES AND THE TIMING CHAIN JUST BROKE. THIS LEAVES ME WITH A CAR THAT I AM MAKING A PAYMENT ON, YET UNABLE TO DRIVE. IT IS NOT IN MY FAMILY BUDGET TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED BY A PROFESSIONAL, THAT MEANS I WILL HAVE TO DO THE WORK MYSELF UNLESS SATURN DECIDES TO HELP ME. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH INTO THIS ISSUE AND SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL YET. *JB
