Consumer Description

ON THE 27TH OF MAY I HAD MY SATURN LS SERVICED DUE TO A TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. AFTER SPENDING 3K IN REPAIRS I NOTICE A OIL LEAK APPROX. 3 MONTHS LATER. 3 MONTHS TO THE DAY OF HAVING THE REPAIR WORK DONE MY ENGINE LOST POWER AGAIN. THE SERVICE TECH QUOTED ANOTHER 2K REPAIR COST TO GET THE CAR BACK UP AND RUNNING. THE FAULT WAS DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. MY RESPONSE TO THAT IS WHEN I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED AND SERVICED I SHOULD HAVE LEFT WITH AN ENGINE IN GOOD REPAIR AND A CAR FULL OF OIL. I HAVE PURCHASED 3 SATURNS AND AFTER THIS INCIDENT I CAN GUARANTEE I WON'T EVEN CONSIDER ANOTHER SATURN OR GM CAR. *NM
