“Fuel system/fuel tank vent valve in 2001 Saturn l200. I kept smelling gas from the rear of the vehicle. Could not find the source of the smell. Was afraid of fire/asphyxiation. Finally took to mechanic and had a fuel diagnostics performed. The fuel tank ventline and the fuel pump had to be replaced. Had I continued to drive it this way it could have resulted in fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10280114, filed 2009-08“There is no one thing wrong with my 2001 Saturn l300 v6. Just everything. I take it in for one repair and something else is wrong less than a week later. Less than 3 months after I bought it used, I had to replace the radiator. Then my tires were bad because the suspension sucks, and you have to buy an after-market kit just to fix that issue. Then my water pump blew up. Then my fuel pump blew. These cars are horrible & something needs to be done about it!”
