Engine is overheating, I have replaced thermostat, water pump, and it seems that it is related to the timing belt on the vehicle.

The timing belt broke on my 2003 Saturn Ion on 11-28-07. The car only has 67,000 miles on it. Unfortunately with the belt breaking it messed up the valves, head gasket and fuel pump. Which is costing me almost $3000. The belt shouldn't have broken with that few of miles on it. Now I am down to one car and it has become a huge hassle. I am never going to buy a Saturn again. In my opinion the warranty is awful and the customer service is non-existent. The warranty is only on the first 30,000 miles and or 3 years. The customer service can not help me in the situation.

The timing chain broke on the vehicle. All I did was go to start it up and it wouldn't start. I had to have it towed to a goodyear but they couldn't fix it. So right now it is being looked at by a mechanic. He said that the timing chain is broken and because of the breakage I now have to have the valves replaced as well as the thermostat, the fuel pump and the head gasket. All of these were damaged by the chain. This is now costing me approximately $3000. All of which is caused by a faulty belt that Saturn installed on their vehicles.

Timing chain slipped on 2004 staurn Ion at 62k miles causing the engine to bend valves. This resulted in the car being unable to start. At this point the estimate for the repairs is ~ $2,000.
