Consumer Description

I WISH TO REPORT THE SAME DEFECT ALREADY IDENTIFIED BY ACTION NUMBER PE06006 (AND SUBSEQUENTLY EA06-009). THE TIMING CHAIN DEFECT WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE COMPLETE FAILURE DUE TO VERY ROUGH IDLING, AND AFTER GETTING A FIRST OPINION FROM MY SATURN DEALERSHIP AND A SECOND OPINION FROM A LOCAL GARAGE, I PAID $820 FOR A TIMING CHANGE. SATURN REFUSED TO COVER THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT UNDER WARRANTY. *JB
