“Recently we have been getting the strong odor of gasoline emitting from the rear of the vehicle. I traced the source to the top of the tank, the fuel pump. I have learned through on line research that this is a problem on several 2007 GM models with the same fuel tank configuration. Some of the other models have been recalled, but the VUE has not.”
NHTSA complaint #10533973, filed 2013-08, 104,077 miles“My vehicle began to smell like gas after driving. The smell just began to get worse. Unbearable at times. I finally took it in to the mechanic and tells me that the gas tank is leaking from the top and it's too major of a job to take on. Suggested I take it to the dealership. Firestone is worried my vehicle could catch on fire. I hope the dealer has a better insight on this. My wife has been driving this car. It's very upsetting.”
NHTSA complaint #10548406, filed 2013-10, 86,450 miles“We were passing a truck, then the throttle stuck and the vehicle would not slow down , we finally got it in neutral and pulled over. This was very scary. And now my electrical is all messed up. I am scared to drive it. I don t have the money to get it repaired. I now have to take the bus or bum a ride. I paid $6500 for this car.. Any chance I can get help from GM. I really like the car. But feel it is to danger ous to drive. I am a 24 year old single mom. Help! Thanks. Hannah grisedale.”

NHTSA complaint #10625699, filed 2014-08, 230,482 miles“I have been noticing a very strong smell of gasoline from my Saturn for several weeks. It is most notable once I stop the car and get out but it is always there when the car is stopped. I traced it to an area up high and toward the rear of the gas tank. You can clearly see staining from a leak on a piece of the undercarriage below that area. I have learned the two sister vehicles of the Saturn VUE in 2007, the pontiac torrent and the chevrolet equinox, were recalled in california last year for this problem but it doesn't appear the VUE was. …”
