Consumer Description

THE CAR WAS IDLING REALLY ROUGH EARLIER IN THE DAY. I WAS GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT ONLY GOT A FEW FEET BEFORE THE CAR DIED. IT TRIES TO TURN OVER BUT NO LUCK. A MECHANIC FRIEND SAID IT SEEMS TO BE THE TIMING BELT. AFTER REVIEW ON THIS AND OTHER WEBSITES I TEND TO AGREE. IT'S BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M AWAITING MY DIAGNOSIS. IF IT IS IN FACT THE TIMING BELT AND SATURN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHY DIDN'T THEY FIX IT? A RECALL WOULD BE GREAT BUT IF NOT THAT AT LEAST NOTIFY US OF THE PROBLEM SO WE CAN DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO HAVE IT FIXED. I'M REALLY UPSET THAT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD AND 5 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR WITH ME. DO SOMETHING SATURN!! *TR
