Detected strong odor of gas around rear of car. Two different mechanics had the car on a lift and could not discover source of gasoline smell. Two or three thousand miles later, we took the car to a third mechanic and, using an inspection camera, he immediately found that the primary fuel pump had a cracked fuel fitting. The mechanic advised how dangerous this leak could be as it was directly over the exhaust. This is my wife's car and she had been using it to commute 400 miles round trip to help with our newest grandchild. Cost to repair is over $400.00. This is not a hazard unique to our vehicle; refer to saturn vue fuel leak at www.saturnfans.com. Considering contacting a lawyer due to the serious nature of this common hazard that has not been addressed by gm.

I have two major complaints with the vehicle. The key can be removed from the ignition while in the "on" position and is hard to start. Gm has claimed this vehicle is not covered under the ignition recall the second complaint, the vehicle leaks fuel from above the tank which seems to be typical to saturn vues.

Noticed a fuel leak around tank filler area. Replaced fuel cap but did not help. Noticeable fuel odor. Vehicle is hard to start when sitting for an extended period (longer than 6 hours). Mechanic determined that leak was around fuel pump. Was informed of recall involving other similar 2007 gm vehicles, but not the saturn vue, although the vue has same type of fuel pump. Vehicles currently involved in the recall include the saturn ion, chevrolet equinox, and pontiac torrent.
