Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Timing chain failure on 2000 saturn ls1 @ 80,000 miles. noticed nhtsa investigation is still active on this problem. i was able to get the car to service station without an accident, but am concerned this is a safety issue as car shuts down without warning. surprised to learn now that gm has a tsb out for this issue, knowing the timing chain does not get enough oil. this car is in being serviced now. *jb
