I have a 1999 saturn. It keeps stalling while in motion. It will work fine for a few weeks, then all of the sudden it will "act up" and the rpms will dance around until it finally stalls. I have had this happen many times already. I believe it should be included with the timing chain inquiry, but I am not sure if it will run long enough for it to be covered. I am upset that I can't get any answers from saturn. They insist on me bringing the car in and I am quite sure that will need to "fix it" which will cost me plenty. Please make note that my vehicle is affected by this defect and I can't afford to fix it myself.
