Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE, TRANSITIONING FROM ONE HWY 24 TO I-80 IN THE EMERYVILLLE / BERKELEY AREA IN CALIFORNIA, OUR SATURN 2000 LW WAGON SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER BUT COULD NOT RESTART THE CAR. I WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN AND TOLD ME THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE AND THAT OTHER YEARS OF THIS MODEL HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. *TR
