I own a 2001 Saturn l200 series timing chain broke for no reason or warning going 50 mph almost hit Saturn refuses to acknowledge the recall on this vehicle timing chain.
My 2001 l200 Saturn had a problem with dash lights/and gauges dimming and at times I had no interior dash lights. . . . It ended up being a main module which cost me $595. Seems like reading all the other complaints similar to mine they have been numerous problems. I think this is a Saturn problem and they should have taken care of this for free. I have replaced the steering box, struts front/rear. . . Stabilizer rear bar, catalytic converter twice. . . . . I am very disappointed in this car. I have put more money in this than my other two Saturn's which I had only normal things; tires, brakes, etc. I wish I had never bought this 3rd one.

The failure occurred intermittently and she was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the instrument panel lights flickered when she depressed the brake pedal. The dealer inspected the vehicle, but was unable to diagnose the cause of the failures. The current and failure mileages were 77,535.
2001 Saturn l300. The service engine soon light comes on intermittently. Both oxygen sensors have been replaced. The check engine light comes on intermittently and when it does I notice that the car "jumps" when accelerating (like the transmission making a noise but only when this light comes on other times it's ok.
