I started smelling gas when getting out of car. Then it got progressively stronger gas smell that lingered on strong an hour after the car had been sitting. So I checked for gas leak on exterior of gas tank and found extreme amount of gas coming from both of the fuel lines of the fuel module on top of tank. This didn't start until the weather has become warm in the 80 s and 90s.

I've had several times where my car wasn't as stable as it should be. The car itself rumbles and jerks a lot on city streets and as I get off the highway. In the past there's been a few issues with the breaks. During winter time, the car won't start up (I have a new battery now and it still happens). Acceleration is occasionally delayed. Lastly there's a clicking noise coming from the passenger side of the car which continues from the time the key is in the ignition until I take it out.

Vehicle will not turn over to start, all other functions work( radio, lights, etc.) upon inspection of vehicle I was told that there is a recall on the ignition switch again! The only way to get the car restarted is to jump it. A toyota dealership told me to get this resolved again, so I am writing this to get it fixed once and for all. I love my saturn and would like to know can I take it immediately to a gm dealer.

The car wouldn't start right away after not running for awhile. It also smelled like gasoline. Upon taking it to the dealer, it was discovered there was a fuel leak and the fuel pump was replaced. After investigating recalls on the 2007 saturn ion I discovered a recall in effect for cars in certain states, ohio was not one of them. The recall mentioned that it was for cars registered or sold in the "hot" states. The dealer wouldn't even let my daughter drive it while waiting for parts. This recall should have been more widespread.
