MY FAMILY HAS OWNED GM VEHICLES FOR 35 + YEARS. FEBRUARY 2016, I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 SATURN AURA XR (V6 3.6 L ENGINE) HOME AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL GM DEALER WHO STATED IT THAT IT WAS A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. REPAIR COST $ 1,667.05. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, WHY? IT IS THE THIRD TIMING CHAIN ON THE CAR. YES, THAT'S RIGHT THIRD! PROBLEMS WITH TIMING CHAIN & TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS EASILY GO UNNOTICED AND CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. A DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND PRESENT SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. THE FIRST TIMING CHAIN FAILED AT 56,000 MILES IN MARCH 2013 THE SECOND TIMING CHAIN FAILED AT 80,000 MILES FEBRUARY 2016 IN 2 YEARS 11 MONTHS AND 24,000 MILES, THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED REPLACEMENT SOMETHING IS INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THIS ENGINE AND/OR REPLACEMENT PARTS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO NEED A THIRD (3) TIMING CHAIN ON A VEHICLE. OUR 2007 SATURN AURA XR HAS THE SAME V6 3.6 L ENGINE AS THE 2007 MODELS: (CADILLAC CTS, SRX, STS; GMC ACADIA & SATURN OUTLOOK) THAT GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED A RECALL CONCERNING PREMATURE WEAR OF TIMING CHAINS FOR THESE 2007 MODELS. GM SHOULD HONOR THE RECALL FOR OUR SATURN AURA XR. AS LOYAL GM CUSTOMERS, WE ARE REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIR EXPENSES OF $ 1,667.05 FOR REPLACEMENT OF SECOND (2) TIMING CHAIN IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS.

I HAVE A 2007 SATURN AURA XR 3.6L, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE CODES AS 1). REPLACE ENGINE 2). REPLACE TIMING CHAIN. SUNDAY, JAN 17TH, 2016 MY ENGINE BLEW. THERE ARE 157,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND WAS EXTREMELY WELL CARED FOR & HAVE RECORDS TO PROVE SO. THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BLOW. I LOVED THAT CAR ....

THIS CAR HAS BEEN A BUST SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT A YEAR AGO AND WAS OF COURSE A RECALL FOR MANY OTHER AURAS EXCEPT OUR SPECIFIC ONE. HAD THAT REPLACED, NOW ITS THE TIMING CHAIN, WHICH IS ALSO A COMMON COMPLAINT OF THE AURA YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THE CAR MISFIRES, SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN IN IDLE AND WHEN DRIVING. IT HAS A VERY HARD SHIFT. ITS VERY HARD TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS SHOOT UP. IT ALSO STALLS AND IT SOMETIMES JUST SHUTS OFF. EVERY LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE IS ON, CHECK ENGINE, STABILTY, ETC. IT ANOTHER EXPENSIVE REPAIR THATS WORTH MORE THAN HALF THE CAR.
