Consumer Description

MY 2001 SATURN L200 FAILED TO START DUE TO A BROKEN/DAMAGED TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS 101,000 MILES. I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO LEARN THAT THIS PARTICULAR FAILURE IS WELL KNOWN ON THIS VEHICLE, AND IN FACT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR CERTAIN VINS IN THIS SAME MODEL YEAR OF VEHICLE. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THIS DAMAGE CAUSED ME TO INCUR $1900 WORTH OF REPAIRS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE ISSUE OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AS SOME CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED. SATURN AND GENERAL MOTORS ARE NOT DOING THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO HELP CONSUMERS REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES BEFORE PROBLEMS OCCUR AND POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERNS ARISE. *TR
