| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Time chain on an l200 saturn (my 2002) after only 39,000 miles of usage. i had just parked the vehicle, and when restarting, the chain broke. prior to this, i was hearing valve noise, but fortunately i pulled the automobile into a parking space. the breakage of the timing chain resulted in a complete destruction of the valves, chain, etc. and required full replacement and repair. this included the head, valves, chain, tensioner, sprockets, etc. saturn indicated that a newly designed chain tensioner would be replaced during this repair and should prevent future failures. this redesigned part was supposed to correct a deficiency in oil delivery to the chain. importantly, i had my vehicle serviced regularly by the saturn dealer with all recommended oil changes, etc. *tr |
