Consumer Description

OUR 2005 SATURN VUE 4 CYLINDER TIMING CHAIN BROKE WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES ON IT. UPON RESEARCHING THIS I HAVE FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON 1999-2001 SATURN L-SERIES FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE VUE 4 CYLINDER, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE EXACT SAME MAKE UP AS THE L-SERIES THAT THE RECALL WAS ON. ALSO UPON MY INVESTIGATION I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING CHAIN ON THE VUE IS WIDESPREAD. OVER AND OVER AGAIN I HAVE RUN ACROSS THE SAME ISSUE THAT I AM CURRENTLY HAVING WITH MY VUE FROM PEOPLE ACROSS THE U.S. ON TOP OF THAT THE FIX FOR THIS ISSUE IS COSTING US 1,500.00 AND SATURN HAS TOLD ME IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
