Consumer Description

2000 SATURN L SERIES TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. METICULOUS MAINTENANCE AND SENSIBLE DRIVING STILL HAVE LEFT ME WITH A BROKEN TIMING CHAIN, BENT VALVES(INTERFERENCE MOTOR, I'M TOLD) AND BASICALLY A BUSTED MOTOR. BIG PROBLEM NOT COVERED BY A RECALL FOR THE 11/00 TO 01 L SERIES. BUNCH OF BULL RECALL ISN'T FOR MY CAR WHEN IT'S THE EXACT SAME DESIGN SEPARATED BY ONLY MONTHS IN PRODUCTION ! NORMAL DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND AWFUL RATTLE SOUND AND MOTOR WAS STALLED AND SO WAS I . *TR
