| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My car simply would not start. it is a 2001 saturn l200 with 31,000 miles. vin [xxx]. i had it towed to a gm garage in town. the problem turned out to be the timing chain. it had come loose and moved 2 links, so the engine had no compression and could not start. the timing chain and gear were replaced, oil and coolant replaced. the total bill was $1,104. with only 31,000 miles, this failure of the timing chain is very premature and unexpected. *nm updated 07/16/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) |
