Consumer Description

THE TIMING CHAIN ON MY 2001 SATURN L200 BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE PISTONS TO STOP WORKING, WHICH TOTALLY RUINED MY ENGINE. I ONLY HAVE 36,000 MILES ON THE CAR! THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG, MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. LUCKILY I HAD NOT ENTERED THE THRUWAY YET. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AND REPAIRED. IT COST ME $2,479.50 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A MORE CROWDED STREET OR THE HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT, AS WELL AS ANYONE AROUND ME. I CONTACTED SATURN BECAUSE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT DEAL WITH CARS, SAY THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE LOW MILEAGE. I DID CALL THE COPS BECAUSE I ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCHOOL ZONE IN A NO PARKING AREA. I DID CAUSE TERRIBLE TRAFFIC CONGESTION. THE TOW TRUCK CAME AND TOOK THE CAR AWAY BEFORE THE POLICE SHOWED UP.*JB
