Consumer Description

MY 2000 SATURN LS1 WAS WORKING JUST FINE UNTIL ALL OF THE SUDDEN I LOST ALL POWER TO THE CAR. THE CAR DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, ONE OF WHO IS 10 MONTHS OLD, AND LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID MY TIMING CHAIN WAS BROKEN AND IT CAUSED TWO VALVES TO BECOME BENT AND THE MOTOR HEAD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *JB
