| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 saturn l200 with 48,000 miles died while driving. we had to quickly swerve to opposite side of road where there was a shoulder in order to get out of the traffic lane(no shoulder on the lane we were in). car was towed, and was diagnosed with a broken timing chain, probable engine damage, and possible fuel pump failure. since i just put a new alternator and battery in the vehicle three weeks prior, i contacted manufacturer and talked with dealer about working with me to fix this car. they would not even discuss next step until i authorized (paid for) a $750 tear down of the motor to "fully diagnose" the problem. i refused to to authorize, because all of the burden at that point would be on me, whatever happened. situation was never resolved; i traded the car (at a drastic reduction of value due to its non-working condition). *nm |
