2009 Saturn Outlook Engine Problems

“I was driving down the highway and all of a sudden my car slowed down really slow I pulled over and turned it off. When I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't crank.”

“We always change our oil on time. Took it to the oil change place he said there was barely any oil in it , we still had 200 mile before recommend oil change. Then the while driving the engine light went on, we took it and my mechanic said that's this motor is burning oil. And can affect engine timing chain.the mechanic said to start putting synthetic oil in per GM. We we're never notified about oil issues or changing what type of oil to use.

I immediately took it to advance auto to get them to hook the hand held computer to the vehicle to see what was wrong. It coded 2 codes. One was for the timing chain and the other for the catalyst. They said I should take it to a big car shop so they could put it om the better computer. It codes the same codes. The mechanic said this is an issue with these GM engins. However, they are not on recall. …”
