Consumer Description

I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME REASON... IDLE STICKS THEN IT SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY OR IT WILL JUST CUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING IT. THE SATURN REPAIR SHOP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I PAID FOR THIS 3 TIMES AND GAVE UP. I'VE ALSO HAD MY IGNITION REPAIRED ALREADY SO THIS RECALL DOES ME NO GOOD. I'VE ALREADY PAID FOR IT. NOW MY TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND I HAVE A CRACKED SEAL IN MY ENGINE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS TOO BUT THE YEAR OF MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL.... I SPOKE WITH GM AND THEY'RE TELLING ME THAT MY 100,000 MILE OR 10 YR WARR. STOPPED NOVEMBER 2013. I BOUGHT THIS MAY, 2004 SO I THINK 10 YEARS WOULD BE MAY OF 2014. IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND THEM PAY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN? SIGNED: ANGRY CONSUMER. *TR
