| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2002 saturn l300 died without warning or indication in the middle of a busy traffic intersection and would not restart. i had to have the car flatbed towed to my service center where they diagnosed the problem as a defective engine control module. the dealer, saturn of cool springs, acknowledged they have seen an increasing number of bad engine control modules on the l series. they did not offer to make any adjustment for the repair costs. after my independent service center installed the new engine control module, the car was still inoperable and had to be towed to saturn of cool spring so they could program the new engine control module and the body control module. i am concerned that without any prior indication of a problem the car could have died on railroad tracks or in some other more dangerous situation. *jb |
