Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Our 2001 saturn l200 stopped working as a result of a broken timing chain. oil changes have been done on a regular basis, but the chain still failed. the engine was destroyed due to the internal design of the chain leading to a need for engine replacement (cost of $2800). the new motor is on order and will be replaced this week, all costs are on us. saturn has no idea how to prevent problem from happening, there are no warnings to tell us there are issues, and their customer service was of no help. *jb
