2007 SATURN ION Complaints

CAR SUDDENLY STOPS ON HILL. METER IN CAR SAYS CAR IS 3/4 FULL WITH GAS. SO THE CAR WAS NOT OUT OF GAS. CAR MUST HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL IGNITION OR SOMETHING FOR IT TO STOP. WENT AND PUT GAS IN CAR TO JUST TO MAKE SURE , AND AS SOON AS I DID THE CAR STARTED. IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR THE GAS GAUGE TO READ IT HAS GAS AND THE CAR STOPS. ALSO WHEN CAR IS PARKED FUEL IS ON THE GROUND LEAKING. NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON BUT ACCORDING TO A SAFETY RECALL IN 2012 I THINK THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH MY ION ALSO. *TR

MY 2007 SATURN ION IS LEAKING GAS. I CALLED THE GM (800) NUMBER AND WAS TOLD MY FUEL SYSTEM HAD A RECALL. WHEN I LEFT MY VEHICLE WITH THE GM DEALERSHIP THEY CALLED AFTER A FEW HOURS STATING THEY REPLACED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND I WAS GOOD TO GO. A FEW DAYS LATER MY CAR SMELLED LIKE GAS AGAIN, SO I TOOK IT BACK. THE MANAGER CALLED ME STATING, "MY FUEL TANK WAS CRACKED". I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND LEFT. IF MY FUEL TANK WAS CRACKED THEY WOULD HAVE RELATED THAT INFORMATION THE FIRST TIME. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THIS IS A GM ISSUE, BECAUSE I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND A LOT OF CONSUMERS WITH MY MODEL CAR HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND LOST MY POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES. I PULLED INTO A LES SCHWAB SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE THEM SEE IF I WAS OUT OF POWER STEERING FLUID. LEARNED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN THAT. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WORKED. I DON'T KNOW WHY IT STOPPED, BUT SINCE MY CAR IS IN THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION, I WOULD ALSO LIKE THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT. HOW CAN I MAKE SURE THAT THIS ISSUE IS LOOKED AT TOO? *TR
