While exiting the freeway, I came to a stop at the end of the ramp at a red light, the auto stalled, I tried to restart it without success, I then saw black smoke billowing from the engine compartment, by the thme the fire dept. Arrived the front end of the car was completely destroyed. The headlights were melted, as was the fenders and front bumper.
Intermittently vehicle stalls out and dies. Dealer has not been able to duplicate the problem. Manufacturer has been notified.
I wish the state had more stringent lemon laws. I will have had to bring my car in for repairs 5 times now, and I feel that is ridiculous for a car ive only had for 6 months. There are problems that exist now and have reoccurred or probably will. Saturn should definitely produce but better cars if they want people to buy them... I certainly won't buy another one or any gm product. I have not contacted saturn directly because I know that they won't do anything about it as I had dealings with another saturn. Furthermore, bringing the car to the dealer seems to be a hassle. I have to go out of my way to get my "lemon car" fixed repeatedly for minor problems which are really annoyances. No defect mentioned in summary.
Timing chain broke causing extensive damage to engine.
