Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2002 SATURN L200 FOUR DOOR SEDAN WITH ABOUT 72,000 MILES AND NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SPELL COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE REAR WHEEL AREA. THERE IS ALSO A SLIGHT SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WILL BE DROPPED OFF IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS FOR REPAIR. I WILL POST MORE INFORMATION ONCE THE PROBLEM IS IDENTIFIED AND THE SOLUTION TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS BY SATURN OWNERS ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM WHEN I GOOGLED IT. I'M REALLY SHOCKED THAT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED. *TR
