BEGAN SMELLING AN ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR. DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. TOOK MY CAR (2007 SATURN ION) TO A GM DEALER FOR OTHER, UNRELATED ISSUES AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS CRACKED. I CONTACTED GM AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON CARS IN OTHER "WARM WEATHER" STATES. HOWEVER, THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PART OF THE "RECALL" THEY WOULD NOT HELP COVER THE COST OF REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY/FIRE HAZARD. I'VE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AFFECTING MORE PEOPLE THAN GM WILL ADMIT. *TR
