Consumer Description

THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY 2000 SATURN LS BROKE AND RUINED THE ENGINE. WE HAD IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HWY AND BARELY GOT OUT OF THE ROAD IN TIME. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT PROBLEM I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS. THEY NEED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS, SINCE THEY WILL NOT PAY THE $3400 TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED. THIS IS THE 3RD DEFECT ON THE CAR THAT HAS COST ME MONEY TO FIX BEFORE A RECALL. *NM
