Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 saturn l200 4 cylinder sedan. it has just over 70k miles on it. all maintenance has been done on or before schedule. almost 2 years ago the computer had to be replaced. after that incident, the lights started doing weird things. so i took it to the dealer and that issue was resolved (a recall). i have also had to replace the brakes 3 times. on 3/30/06 i was in rush hour on a busy highway passing a car in the left lane. my car just died (no lights came on indicating the engine stopped, just no power). thank god i got to the right land. i sat there for an hour and finally got the car towed. the timing chain broke. i have spend $200 just to find that out. i am not sure what other damage has resulted. saturn is acting ignorant about this problem. they say they cannot tell me anything unless i have it at a saturn dealership. (another tow charge and diagnostics charge). i saw that there is an investigation into this matter and wanted to file a formal complaint. i strongly believe, after the research i have done, that saturn should take responsibility and fix this problem. *jb
