2001 Saturn L200 review from North America
"I will not purchase another one from this manufacture"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing chain felled at 83000 miles. Was told it was an oil change issue with it was not as oil and filters were changed regularly. Found very interesting info on this site and told mechanic to check on service bulletin about oiler hole to timing chain housing and correct this issue in the replacement engine.
Also had an ECM failure minutes before timing chain broke. Electrical system looked like a Christmas light parade.
