Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was pulling out of a driveway and my saturn l200 engine just died. upon inspection at saturn of dayton north, i was told that the timing chain had failed. i have changed the engine with used and still have little power. i am waiting for test results. the repair shop said that the oil was dirty, but the timing chain should not break after only 61,000 miles. i always believed that saturn was a different kind of auto company. needless to say i am very disappointed with saturn's response that i must not have changed the oil! i will never buy or recommend a saturn to anyone, at this point in my experience. *nm
