2005 SATURN ION Fuelpropulsion System Problems

My key is stuck in the I can take it out the o2 seners not reading

When pressing the gas pedal 2/3 of the way down the pedal got stuck causing the engine to rev high while driving forward. I had to put the car in neutral, shut the engine off and manually get the gas pedal unstuck by reaching down to the floor and pulling the pedal upwards with my hands. Also I had no floor mats in my car for the pedal to get stuck on. This has happened on multiple occasions.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED. FUEL INTAKE AND RETURN LINES IN FRONT OF THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL FLAKING BADLY AND RUSTED THROUGH, ABOUT AN 8 INCH SECTION OF LINE WAS FLAKING AND RUSTED THROUGH. FUEL LINE WAS RUBBED WHEN PUTTING ON NEW OEM EXHAST AND BROKE THROUGH THE LINES. GAS WAS LEAKING BAD ENOUGH THAT IT WAS DEEMED NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS THESE LINES ARE ABOUT 5 INCHES AWAY FROM THE EXHAUST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THE FAILURE WAS RELEVANT TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

COLLEGE AGED DAUGHTER OWNS AND DRIVES A 2005 SATURN ION WITH APPROXIMATELY 115,000 MILES. WE NOTICED A WET SPOTS ON THE GROUND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WHEN CAR IS STATIONARY (PARKED) BUT NEVER DETECTED AN ODOR. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MARYLAND SINCE WE WERE UNAWARE THAT GM OWNS SATURN. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD BY NISSAN THAT FUEL LINES NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING GASOLINE AND REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IS BOTH UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE STARTED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, ONCE THE CONTACT REACHED HIS DESTINATION HE OBSERVED FUEL LEAKING OUT FROM UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 250,000.

UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE CONTACTED HUSBAND NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS CRACKED AND LEAKED FUEL IN THE FRONT OF THE REAR DRIVER?S SIDE WHEEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FUEL LEAKAGE COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER (GUY'S BUICK GEMS, 1316 N MILDRED ST, RANSOM, WV 25438 304-725-3448) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE NO RECALLS WERE ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE KEY ON THE FUEL PUMP STARTS PUMPING FUEL OUT OVER THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WITH OUT STARTING THE CAR.I HAVE READ THAT THE 2006 AND UP SATURNS HAVE A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMPS BUT NOT THE 2005 WHY. WILL THEY RECALL THE 2005 MODELS IN THE FUTURE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, I STOPPED AND FILLED UP GASOLINE AND I NOTICED A CONTINUING STRONG GAS SMELL IN CAR. THOUGHT I SPILLED GAS ON MYSELF BUT LATER UPON INSPECTION IN MY GARAGE, I FOUND GAS DRIPPING FROM PLASTIC FUEL LINE (UNDER CAR, RIGHT BEHIND DRIVER'S DOOR). DUE TO DANGER, I IMMEDIATELY SET UP APPOINTMENT WITH POLAR CHEVROLET, WHO DECIDED THE FUEL LINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. COST WAS $623.44

NOTICED LIQUID DRIPPING FROM DRIVER SIDE OF CAR BY REAR WHEEL WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY PARKING STALL. TOOK THE CAR INTO DEALERSHIP. DEALER CONFIRMED FUEL LINES HAD RUSTED OUT. FUEL LINES AND FUEL FILTER WERE REPLACED.

THE CAR WAS FUELED UP, WHEN IT WAS BEING STARTED IT HAD GREAT DIFFICULTY. ONCE IT WAS RUNNING, IT WAS DRIVEN AND A RIGHT TURN WAS MADE, THEN ALL GAUGES DIED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND THE "PWR STR" MASSAGE REMAINED ON. THE CAR WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH TO THE OFF POSITION THE THREE INDICATORS REMAINED ON AND THE CAR REFUSED FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES BEFORE TURNING OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED TO SWITCH INTO THE REVERSE POSITION WITHOUT WARNING.THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THIS CAR LEAKS FUEL WHEN FILLED AND YOU CAN SMELL FUEL COMING FROM THE CAR AT ALL TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE INDICATES THAT FUEL IS EVAPORATING FROM THE TANK. THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED IN SEVERAL SOUTHERN STATES WHERE THE FUEL EVAPORATES MORE QUICKLY DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES. MR. GOODWRENCH AND GM REFUSE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING FOR THEIR OWN DIAGNOSIS. IT DOES NOT TAKE CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO WATCH THE FUEL DRIP ONTO THE GROUND OR TO READ A CODE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN READ. I HAVE OPENED A CLAIM WITH GM BUT THE MOST ASSISTANCE THAT IS GIVEN IS TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE CALL & TOW AT MY EXPENSE. I WILL NOT DRIVE A CAR LEAKING GAS AND ENDANGER MY LIFE AND OTHERS TO PAY TO FIND OUT IT IS STILL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 SATURN ION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED UPON TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESET THE COMPUTER BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE EACH TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL AND THEY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED STRONG FUMES EMITTING FROM OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IT IDLED ROUGHLY. THE DEALER DID NOT DIAGNOSE THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING) MONTHS AGO AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WOULD BE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

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.

MY FUEL LINE BEGAN LEAKING AND WHEN I CHECKED I DETERMINED THERE WAS A HOLE IN IT NEAR THE DRIVERS BACK TIRE NEAR THE CLIP, THE FUEL LINE IS ALSO RUSTED OUT. I HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE THING REPLACED AND WAS A COST OF OVER $850.00. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ON A RECALL LIST. FUEL LINES SHOULD NOT RUST OUT LIKE THIS AND I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THIS BY 2 REPUTABLE MECHANICS. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS, IF I HAD NOT NOTICED IT I COULD HAVE RUN THE RISK OF MY CAR CATCHING ON FIRE. THIS ISSUE PUT MY FAMILY AND I IN DANGER. THIS IS AS DEPLORABLE AS THE POWER STEERING AND IGNITION ISSUES. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AT NO COST TO THE CAR OWNERS WHO TRUSTED THEM TO BUILD A SAFE CAR. I AM ALSO CONSULTING LEGAL ADVISE, AND...

THE FUEL LINE HAS RUSTED & LEAKING GASOLINE ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE NEAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE. *TR

**THE OTHER AFFECTED PART WAS SPEED CONTROL.... ASIDE OF THE CURRENT RECALL ISSUE HAVING BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2005 (WHICH HAS "BEEN REPAIRED"-I GUESS SO IF YOU CALL REPAIRED THE CAR TRYING TO START ITSELF, NOT STARTING AT ALL, CURRENT PCM OVERLOAD THANKS TO SOO MANY NEGATIVE CODES BEING THROWN FOR THIS WORTHLESS PIECE OF JUNK.) I HAVE FILED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY AND AM CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY PROVIDED THE SAME ANSWER AND IT IS BECOMING A BIG PROBLEM. YOU SEE THIS CAR HAS LEFT ME STRANDED NUMEROUS TIMES (TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT KEEP COUNT ANY LONGER) BECAUSE THE THROTTLE BODY IS TRASH. NOT ONE BUT TWO CHECK ENGINES LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH, THE CAR SHAKES (LITERALLY TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS LIKE EVERY PLASTIC PANEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF), I CANNOT TRAVEL ANY HIGHER...
