Good afternoon, I am a the original saturn owner who never received recall information regarding my 2001 saturn l series. I have experienced various problems that directly correlate to the recall listed below: recall 07v519000-pertaining to engine and engine cooling potential number of units affected: 20,514 summary: on certain passenger vehicles equipped with a 2.2l 4-cylinder engine, links in the engine's timing chain can separate. Consequence: if a timing chain link separates while the engine is running, the engine will stall and will not restart increasing the risk of a crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the timing chain free of charge. The recall began on january 15, 2008. Owners may contact saturn at 1‑800‑972‑8876. The recall listed above has effected our vehicle on two different occasions; the first of which was fixed out of our own pocket for $4,614.29 on 9/18/12. I have receipts to prove these repairs. Also, this recall effected our vehicle a second time on 12/4/2014. Unfortunately, due to our current circumstances we are unable to fix this vehicle out of our own pocket again. We love this car, and hope you can be of assistance. Thank you in advance.

I was driving the vehicle down the freeway at 65 MPH when the battery light came on and shut off. Within the next minute the coolant light came on and shut off and then the car seized right there on the freeway. The car would not start so we had to have it towed. Once the shop looked at it they diagnosed that the tensioner had broke and the serpentine belt had melted. We are now looking at having to replace the entire engine.

I brake hard to avoid an animal in the road. When I stepped on the gas the car would not move. When I put it in park, the car would roll. Upon inspection, the frame had buckled, causing the cv joint to fall out. I did not hit anything or go off the road. All I did was hit the brakes and the framed collapsed in the area of right front a-arm.
