Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING TO CHAMPAIGN TRAVELING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE SATURN L200 DIED. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I WAS LUCKY TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD MY KIDS WITH ME AND THEY WERE TERRIFIED! I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SATURN OF CHAMPAIGN. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN. I WAS SHOCKED BECAUSE IT TOTALED THE ENGINE. IT WAS JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS AND I HAD NO MONEY. SATURN TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE $2700. I HAD TO GET A LOAN FOR THE REPAIRS WHICH HAS CAUSED MORE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY NEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PART AND SAID NOTHING! *TR
