TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL LINE PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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. *JS
