Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2002 saturn l200 52,000 miles i was driving on the loop here in lubbock going about 65mph when my car suddenly lost power. my car started going very slow and then came to a complete stop. the car also lost power steering so i was lucky enough to be able to get on the shoulder of the road. i had my car towed to a local mechanic to be worked on and he thought it might be the fuel pump. well he called later and said it was the timing chain and it had broke. he was very concerned about this because he said it should have outlasted the life of the engine. not only did this break, but when it broke, it tore up my engine as well. i then did a search on google for "l200 timeing chain" and it seems this is a common problem. not only is this a common problem, but saturn was aware of this problem and posted a bulletin to their service centers. *tr
