Yvonne of Berkeley, CA August 14, 2009 In May on my way to work I made a U-turn and my 2001 Saturn L200 Series engine cut off. Just thinking it stall I tried to start it back up. It would not start so I park it. That same day I received a post card in the mail about a recall on timing chain so I had my car tow to Concord Saturn and they told me my 2001 L Series was not part of recall and it would cost estimate 4800 to get fix I said no way it not worth that much and had pay to get it towed back to my place of resident. Now today I received the same recalled notice and I am wondering if I am not that part of recall why they keep sending me the notice. Jennifer of Russell, IL July 22, 2009 My 2001 Saturn L 200 which I purchased brand new, my fourth and LAST Saturn I will be purchasing, just stopped running on my way home form work on a Sunday night. I took exceptional care of this car and it is in like new mint condition other than the fact that teh timing chain broke and detsroyed my engine!! My mechanic inofmred me that Saturn had a recall on the 2.2 4C motor, however when I called saturn customer serviec they said "Your in number is not one of the motors involved int the recall". Really, why not the timing chain broke just the same as the motors that are involved in the recall. I want to see this list of VIN numbers that are in the recall if it really exists?? I see GM is doign wonders with the tax payers money given to help them out of financial trouble, now who is going to help me?? pat of naperville, IL June 16, 2009 I have a saturn L200 2002. Timming chain broke,engine gone. there are recalls,but they say not on this vin. They are many complaints on this same problem. Gm customer service no help. NHTSA has an investagation along with office of defects investigation. Thru the federal goverment 07v-519 Anna of Columbus, OH June 15, 2009 On Friday night(6-12-09) I was driving home and my car lost all power and would not restart at all just would turn over and over and over but never start. Pull it to Saturn and they tell me that my timing chain is either broken or the teeth are worn down and not grabbing like it should. Well after being online for 2 nights in a row checking on this, I find a recall about the timing chain in the L series Saturn which is what I have. But Saturn is telling me that my car is not involved in the recall and that there is nothing that they can do for me. I have called their corporate offices and have been told yes there is a recall on the timing chain but my 2002 L200 Saturn is not involved in that! Even though by their admission the recall effect thousands and thousands of cars made from 1999-2003 so I am not sure how my car does not fit into that recall since my is a 2002. Now Saturn is waiting to tear my engine down(at my cost) to make sure no internal damage was caused. I am a single mom of 2 kids and can not by any means begin to be able to afford this. So now I am stuck with no car due to a problem Saturn KNEW existed with their timing chains. Gail of Sarasota, FL June 14, 2009 Not specific to a dealer but to Saturn IONs (2006) Manual transmission, key stuck in running car, disconnected ground on battery-STILL running. Had to pop clutch to stall engine. This should be a recall. kevin of columbus, OH April 27, 2009 Like everyone else, my timing chain broke on freeway. No warning lights etc. The service manager said that the chain is not hooked to the computer warning system,and proceeded to give me the oil change routine and all the other almost talking point excuses.My family had bought 5 Saturns before that. It meant nothing, the staff there not like it was. This company going independent might last 6 months. Treated with unbridled arrogance and was talked down too, even though I did not even raise my voice. 3k, for new head etc,and for the updated timing chain. These people lie through their teeth and basically will be out of business. Saturn not company it used to be. Engine shot. Bent valves. These people mirrored the treatment and excuses everyone else got. GM deserves to go under.My 15 yrs of repeat business meant nothing Lisa of Houston, TX March 18, 2009
