NHTSA Complaint #10614563 — 2007 SATURN ION

MY SATURN HAD BEEN IDLING ROUGHLY FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I CHECKED THE OIL IT SEEMED LOW AND I PUT MORE OIL IN. IT SEEMED A LITTLE BETTER. THE CHECK OIL LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON IN THIS CAR. AFTER TAKING THE CAR DOWN AND BACK TO MY PARENTS IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. TWO CAR DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WITH PARTS AND LABOR 25,00.00 DOLLARS. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 IN OCTOBER. I NOW HAVE A CAR I HAVE TO KEEP MAKING PAYMENTS ON TO KEEP MY CREDIT RATING SAFE BUT I CAN'T DRIVE. SO FAR GMC AND THE DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNHELPFUL WITH GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED. I CAN'T AFFORD 2500. DOLLARS. I WENT TO THE BBB AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR AGED OUT OF THE COMPLAINT SYSTEM. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS CAR 5 YEARS AND IT HASN'T REACHED 100,00.00 MILES AND IT IS UNUSABLE WITH A REPAIR THAT IS MORE THAN IT IS CURRENTLY WORTH. *TR
