Consumer Description

TIMING CHAIN BROKE ON MY 2002 SATURN VUE LEAVING MY DAUGHTER & ME STRANDED. IT ONLY HAD 68K MILES. SATURN DEALERSHIPS ONLY SUGGESTION: NEW ENGINE @ $3400 INSTALLATION @ $1600. I CHOSE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS UNAWARE OF THE ZERO TOLERANCE ENGINE. WHAT IS THAT?! I AM HEARING ABOUT CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REPAIRS NATIONWIDE DUE TO THIS SAME MALFUNCTION. THEY HAVE KNOWN OF THIS DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION FOR YEARS & FAIL TO DO A RECALL. ISN'T IT TIME THEY BE MADE ACCOUNTABLE. THERE ARE MANY MANY SIMILAR STORIES TO MINE. PLEASE RESEARCH!! *TR
