Consumer Description

2001 SATURN L200. DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 45 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR CUT OFF. THERE WAS NO STEERING OR BRAKES. SHE LUCKILY WAS ON A STRAIGHT A WAY AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND TOOK THE TOP HALF OF THE ENGINE WITH IT. NOT THE BELT THE CHAIN BROKE. IT CAME TO A TOTAL OF $2500.00 TO REPAIR. I WENT ONLINE AND TYPED IN 2001 SATURN L200 TIMING CHAIN AND CAME UP WITH A LIST OF OVER 9 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE MILEAGE ON THE CARS RANGED FROM 20,000 (NEW) TO 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED. NOT TO MENTION MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I AM VERY DISGUSTED IN HOW WE WERE TREATED AS WELL BY SATURN. *TR
