2001 Saturn L200 review from North America
"I will never buy another one knowing what I do about the car maker and its loyalty to its customer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My A\C unit blew out @ 24000+ miles, the break assembly lights go out frequently and now my timing chain has broken @ 25,450 miles. The dealer and corporate office refuse to take responsibility for an obvious defect costing me over $1500 to repair it. The warranty is designed to protect the manufaturer, not the consumer.
General comments?
I have been totally pleased up until these problems started to occur.
