I inherited the car from my mother the car has a problem with the fuel system we had it fixed but the same codes are poping up
Service person says that I need to replace the fuel injector line. Thought that was done so by a recall I had done already. Hard to start and smell of gasoline
Started smelling gas then noticed a few days later that it was leaking when driving and parked
Since day one of this vehicle which had only 11 miles on it, you can not fill the gas tank. If you go past 1/2 a tank of gas in the car it smells of fuel while sitting or driving. It only has 47,000 miles on the car today and you still have to be very careful to only put a little gas in the tank if you don't want the fumes inside or outside the car. I don't understand why this hasn't been fixed under a recall. It is very scary to drive the car in fear of a fire or explosion. I cannot park this car in my garage as it filled my whole house up with gas fumes which was very nauseating to say the least. This happens while sitting or driving
Leaking gas and strong gas smell after driving
The vehicle smells like gasoline after being driven and smells like gasoline when stationary. The power steering will display a warming message and the car will become hard to steer.
Fuel leaking from top of fuel tank, coming from broken port on the fuel pump. This is the same issue as documented in gm recall 09226c, but because this vehicle isn't in any of the states listed I have to pay for it out of pocket. How can a recall only cover vehicles in certain states.
Throttle body position sensor again and again causes major loss of power and sometimes results in stalling out in seconds

Received recall notice about 3 years ago regarding fuel tank. However, it specified certain states of origin. I disregarded notice since I was not residing in one of those states. My car periodically smells of gas, my check engine light and low performance light goes on/off and my mechanic suggested recall. My suspension issues have required replacement of bearing and sway bar on more than one occasion. My passenger airbag light stays on all the time and dings as a reminder every time I start my vehicle.

Gas leaks only at the clip
Strong gas smell noticed outside the vehicle as it was parked. Two days later had the oil changed at a local shop and they pointed out there was gas leaking by the exhaust pipe area at a connection. Took to draper chevrolet who locally handles saturn recalls and was told the gas line needed to be replaced and not covered by special case scenario. The repair was quoted at $568. Repair has not been made. Leaking fuel is an immediate hazard if in the presence of an open flame or possible accidents. It appears there are a huge number of cases where the fuel line has leaked on this model. It should be covered.
I have a strong gas smell coming from the rear passenger wheel well after driving the vehicle. There is no visible leak out puddle under the vehicle. I researched and found there were recalls for certain vehicles of the same model and year. I believe my vehicle is having the same issue but no recall has been issued.
