 My daughter's car started to leak fuel. we took it to a chevrolet dealer and were told it is a frequent problem with the fuel pumps on saturns. the pump was replaced which remedied the problem. upon a google search i found an existing recall but only for certain states???? we live in pennsylvania and were not a state that is covered by the recall. obviously the problem is a national problem and the recall should be revised to such. *tr

 On september 29, 2012, the nhtsa issued a recall notice, on its website, for broken fuel lines to fuel pumps to all saturn ion sedans from 2007 and newer, in addition to a larger number of other gm vehicles all 2007 and newer. i have a 2006 saturn ion sedan and the same issue happened to my car on september 28, 2012, one day before i was aware of the recall. the plastic part connecting the fuel line to the fuel pump cracked, spilling gas around the car and underneath. repairs were $856 and luckily i had no fire. the fuel pump module and connecting fuel lines all needed to be replaced.the recall as noted by the nhtsa is limited to only certain states and only to 2007 and newer vehicles, but the recall needs to be extended to include 2006 saturn ion models, and more states based upon my similar issue. the nhtsa said that 40,000 gm vehicles are affected but i think the problem is larger. i have the parts if needed. i purchased the car used from a saturn dealership in pennsylvania and i now live in michigan, neither of which is listed as a state involved in the recall. you need to look into this further please, before someone dies because of a fire. gm denies anything at this time and indicates their records do not show the recall as mentioned in their system and my vehicle and vin # are not listed under any fuel leak related issue or recall. *tr

 We smelled a very strong fuel odor- very profound, obvious, confirmed by technician at lockhart cadillac, greenwood, in. there is a current recall out, recall number 09v41900. this recall is for a faulty fuel pump plastic assembly that cracks in extremely high temperatures and includes several western and southern or otherwise traditional hot weather states. gm knows it is a problem but because i live in indiana they would not cover the repair bill. the midwest has experienced on of the hottest summers on record which is what causes this problem. i believe that the midwestern states should be added since this is a potentially fatal problem if not repaired quickly. as you full well know a simple ignition source, a spark or cigarette butt, could set this off. it would be in everyone's best interest to remedy this problem for owners in the midwest. *tr

 Recently i started smelling gas around my vehicle and inside my vehicle after it had been sitting for awhile. then the check gas cap light came on along with the check engine light, i also noticed the vehicle has a little trouble starting. i found nhtsa campaign id number 09v419000 and recall 09226 both of which explain my issue. my vin number is included in the list of affected vehicles in the recall but because my vehicle was not originally sold or currently registered in one of the state listed it is not included in the recall. how can living in one state and not another influence a recall? since there is potential for a fire i can't wait to get this fixed and will have to pay for the parts and labor on my own. *tr

 Recently, i have noticed a strong odor of gasoline in and around the car. i searched the fuel lines to see if there was a leak and there was not. i did some research online and found the gm recall for the fuel pump of this vehicle. the nhtsa campaign number is 09v419000. i contacted gm and gave them my vin to see if my car was one of the affected. they told me it was not. i see that the recall includes 2006 saturn ions in north carolina, but apparently my car is not part of the recall. the issue with my car is exactly the same listed in the recall. i have done more research and have found over 80 other complaints from other saturn ion owners stating that their cars are doing exactly the same thing. however, their cars are not included in the recall either. i believe this issue affects a majority of these model cars, not just the ones listed in the recall sent out by gm. *tr

 I started smelling gas when was stopped. i figured there may be a leak. i took it to a shop and they said i have one. i researched online and found that there was a recall on parts of the fuel system but that it doesnt apply in my state. so now im going to have to pay the $600 or so to get it fixed.

 Every time fuel is slightly below a quarter tank the engine stalls as if the car is running out of gas and the cars drastically reduces speed with minimum power. also, after the incident occurred i went online to research the problem and found out that the vehicle had been recalled for fuel pump problems as well as lighting irregularities. furthermore, as i continued using my vehicle the ignition switch cylinder broke causing the key to be stuck and was unable to turn off the ignition of the car. luckily, i have a stick shift transmission and was able to turn off the car by putting it into 4th gear and letting go of the clutch to turn off the ignition. unfortunately, the car battery remains on and in order to completely turn off the car i have to disconnect the battery cable so the batter life is not drained. *tr

 After parking the car on a short drive to the store, i smelled gasoline around the car. when i checked underneath the car, fuel was visibly pouring from the fuel tank area and was pooling under the car. upon inspection of the fuel system, the return port of the fuel pump was discovered to be cracked and broken-off, enabling fuel returning to the pump to pour out of the system.

 Gasoline odor coming into car and strong odor when stopped. dealer replaced fuel pump after diagnosing crack and leakage from fuel pump, the cost to me was $ 663.55. gm determine that no reimbursement was warranted since new jersey is not covered by 09275a nhtsb. can anyone explain why this saturn ion, which has the same fuel pump modules as other saturn ions, is not covered by any safety program?

 Strong smell of gasoline in car. gas leaking under the car. it has a crack in the fitting on the fuel pump. the same problem gm has had a partial recall on. informed by saturn that our car isn't covered by the recall. how can this be when its the exact same part and problem. we are not happy with gm or saturn and will never by other gm again if this is how they do business. this is a huge safety issue.
