| Build Years/Makes/Models: | 2001 SATURN L200 |
| Occurances: | |
| Reference Number: | 10272669 |
| Summary: | SATURN 2001 L-200 2.2L I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN RUSH HOUR MORNING TRAFFIC. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR STOPPED TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF, AND I LOST POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO I RECKLESSLY VEERED OFF ONTO A SIDE STREET WHERE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART BUT WOULD ONLY TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SATURN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT JUST BY TURNING IT OVER, AND SEEING THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS NOT TURNING, SINCE IT WAS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE CAM SHAFT, THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKE. HE ALSO SAID HE SEES IT ALL THE TIME ON THIS YEAR MODEL. ALONG WITH THE BROKE TIMING CHAIN, THEY SAID THAT THE HEAD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE AS WELL BECAUSE THE INWARDS OF THE ENGINE HAVE COLLIDED AND CAUSED EVEN MORE DAMAGE. THIS CAR WAS MAINTAINED TO THE T. EVERY OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AT SATURN ON TIME AND ALL SERVICE WAS DONE THERE. THEY QUOTE ME 3500 DOLLARS TO PUT IN A 90K MILE USED ENGINE. MINE HAD 150K AND RAN LIKE A CHAMP BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. WE THEN GOT ANOTHER QUOTE FROM A LOCAL GARAGE TO PUT IN A 60K MILE CAR FOR 1600 DOLLARS. WE WILL PROBABLY DO THAT. THEY SAID TO REPLACE THE HEAD AND CHAIN WILL COST ABOUT THE SAME AND YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE INTERNALS WILL BE INTACT AFTER THE TIMING CHAIN GOES. *TR |
