Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE @ A SPEED OF 70 MPH WHEN MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY DIED. I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AND WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NEAR AN OFF RAMP. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD SNAPPED AND THAT IT HAD BENT ALL OF THE PISTONS. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS OVER $1600.00. I LATER FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS UPSET TO FIND OUT THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. SATURN SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN A COINCIDENCE THAT MY CAR WAS AFFECTED BY THE SAME THING THAT THE RECALLED VINS WERE AFFECTED BY. SATURN NEEDS TO RECALL ALL CARS THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WERE USED IN. THIS WAS NOT A COINCIDENCE! *TR
