| Filled my car with gas on wednesday. noticed a strong gas odor and quickly dropping fuel level. took my car to local garage. they identified broken tabs/brackets holding fuel lines. contacted saab dealer in dublin about a recall on this item - dealer informed them it didn't apply. i called saab customer service and was told my vin number didn't fall within the saab recall #15018 (gm recall 04101). it obviously isn't a coincidence my 2002 9-3 has the same problem being recalled on other 2002 9-3s. *nm | |||
