Saturn Aura fuel leak problems

Since new, we have had passenger air bag issues, ie: not sensing an adult passenger. Brakes have been operating poorly, with rear pads wearing out, and front not. Four new master cylinders, pads & rotors with no improvement. Now mid 2018, strong gasoline smell from under rear of vehicle. I have seen where other saturns, have a fuel leak relating to the fuel pump fuel lines. I suspect the same for our car. Doesn't matter how full the tank is, and of course it is parked. Should be a recall on this defect. We live in texas where it is hot. We now have about 130,000miles on the car.

Been having problems with the transmission since I bought the car new. It shifts in 1st and 2nd fine but going into 3rd or 5th gear it will shift to neutral and then shift hard into gear. Dealership could not replicate problem but am still having it. Then recently been having a strong smell of gas from the rear of the car at the rear doors. Looked underneath the car and saw that the tank had a wet spot from fuel leaking for a while. Have never over filled my car with gas. I did drop the tank and come to fine out the whole top of the tank is covered in gas. It has been leaking for a long while.

Case # with gmc is 81598832107 9/30/15 was at left turn lane to go in my neighbor hood put in park to grab something of the floor when I put back into drive my car started to reverse. Put it back into park and then drive and the same thing. Lucky I had my neighbor behind me him and others help me push it to a safe zone very close to my house, pushed it half way on drive way and put in park and it rolled across the street while trying to stop it I put myleft foot down caused more pain due to me recent surgery. This car has been to gmc for the recall cable 3 times, this time they said they only place half of it and will now replace the whole cable. Was called on 9/30 5 hours at the shop and was told it was ready, I explained that I don't feel safe driving this car. Too many times for the same cable....I've also had a issue with the smell of gas coming from the car but could not see any fuel, so I took to a mechanic and had them look at it and said te top of the fuel pump was cracked I had them replace the whole pump...there was fuel leaking under my seat, I have now seen there is other saturn aura with the same problem. I don't feel safe driving this car this a big issue and if gmc and I can come to an agreement it will be easy agreement. I was really glad that I did no give this car to my young nephew who knows what would of happened......
