Consumer Description

SATURN 2000 LS TIMING CHAIN I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2000. I GOT STUCK YESTERDAY AND AAA HAD TO TOW IT. MECHANIC SAYS IT'S TIMING CHAIN. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIMING CHAIN SINCE I BOUGHT IT. LAST ONE WAS REPLACED AT 52,000 MILES IN MARCH 2006. NOW I HAVE 66,000 MILES AND IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD LAST TIME, A TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST A MINIMUM OF 100,000 MILES. IT COST ME ALMOST 3,000. LAST TIME. MY DEALERSHIP, SATURN OF STAMFORD IS NOW CLOSED. I WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO SATURN OF FAIRFIELD. THIS TYPE OF THING SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 66,000 MILES. I'VE KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE AND MY OIL AND FILTER WAS CHANGED JUST ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO. I FEEL SATURN SHOULD COVER THIS REPAIR, AND PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL. *TR
