Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.

POSSIBLE LEAK IN AREA OF FUEL TANK, STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE, ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. I BELIEVE THE SEAL BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SATURN ION (RECALL NUMBER 12V459000).
