| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2001 saturn l200 with approximately 37- or 29k miles from a saturn dealer in july of 2004. there are about 80,500 miles on the car now. two days ago i went out to start the car and the timing chain "failed" and beat up the engine (per the saturn dealer, where i had the car towed that morning). although i never used saturn for oil changes, i did change the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. recently, however (several months ago) after having the car in to replace the ignition and housing, saturn gave me a complete inspection. there were several minor items listed needing attention, but the timing chain issue was never mentioned, nor did i ever receive notice of this inherent and dangerous defect (funny how they can find me to send notices of their upcoming sales "events", however). since it was late friday when i contacted the zone rep, i was told i should receive a return call from saturn by monday noon. i will be more than happy to update this if you like. *tr |
