| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In jan. 1998 my timing chain broke and cracked my engine and valve cover. prior to this i did take my car to the dealer who states timing chain replacement or new engine if timing chain breaks. being that my saturn sl2 was a 1994 it was funny that so soon timing chain problems occurred. my timing chain did break, and i was unable to get it repaired intil 2001 by the local dealer with a used engine that leaked oil every where i parked, my complaints yielded no results. needless to say i was able to continue driving the car which began to overheat, cooling fan failed and in august 2004, the timing chain on the other used engine started to rattle and also broke, so today i am carless and don't know where to begin. obviously there is a problem with these saturn timing chains. is there an investigation ongoing?*ak |
