2001 Saturn L200 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain broke at 72,000 miles.
General comments?
My timing chain broke today (12/03/05) My 2001 L200 has 72,000 miles on it. I have read many posts stating that Saturn employees will attribute the problem to oil changes. This makes me sick to my stomach, because that is EXACTLY what I was told today. When I argued the fact that I have been up to date on my oil changes, the tech gave me that old line "Sometimes these things just happen" I agree that things can just "happen", but when I see all of these posts, I can't help, but feel I am being wronged. If anyone has been successful in disputing this issue with Saturn can you please e-mail me and advise. My repair cost is being estimated at over $1000, But it won't be looked at until Monday morning. Wish me luck!
***On a side note***
For anyone experiencing problems with tail lights going out on your L200, there is a recall.
