2007 Saturn Ion 3 manual sedan 1.) fuel pump delivery system recall and has been repaired after a serious fuel leak was detected. 2.)purge flow solenoid- engine light came on after the pump delivery system was detected but was not repaired because it was not included in recall. Car gets very little gas mileage because the fuel to oxygen ratio being off. Every time I go to the gas station I cannot get my car to start. It doesn't matter if I have half of a tank of gas or almost on empty. It takes several tries and only starts after I rev the engine because the fuel to oxygen ratio and the fuel pump floods my car as soon as the fuel pump is engaged. I know that after this happens so many times that it will cause the starter to burn up in my car. 3.) ignition switch- cannot turn key on as if the steering wheel is locked/ cannot turn key off/ take key out and car is still running! disconnect battery to shut the car off. 4.) electronic power steering- acts as if the power steering has a short. While driving with speeds as little as 15mph in a residential neighbor hood or 70mph on the interstate. The power steering light comes on and all power steering is lost and becomes almost impossible to drive. After shutting the car off and restarting the car the power steering works but shortly after it fails again. This happens every time I drive my car. The first time this happened I was on an exit ramp on the interstate with a very sharp curve. I could barely control the vehicle. Needless to say my children are no longer allowed to ride in this car until it is repaired.

I discovered that my car had a crack in the fuel pump after smelling fuel and noticing that I had lost fuel. After taking it to get looked at, the mechanic said there was a recall on this problem. When looked into further, however, the recall is only good for cars manufactured in or currently registered to a few states located in the South. After researching the recall and reading the summaries, though, my scenario is exactly the same as the summary provided. My car has a title from Ohio and is currently registered in Ohio. It doesn't make sense that only cars in certain states are allowed the recall. If weather is the deciding factor, Ohio's weather for the past couple of weeks, when this problem started, has been hitting 100 degrees. I am very dissatisfied with the recall stipulations and the limited information required.

About 3 weeks ago, I started smelling gas each time I shut off my car. On Friday, my son noticed gas pouring from underneath the car. My stepson works for GMC. He removed the tank and informed me leakage was from fuel pump. He also informed me of a recall related to this matter. I contacted my local dealer and was informed the recall was VIN specific and my vehicle had no recall for same. I spoke with GMC and was told the same thing. I was advised to have diagnostics ran by local dealership, jeff wyler GMC, Buick, Pontiac. I was told the cost would be $93 until I made the appointment. Thereafter I was informed I would be charged hourly and the cost would be more than $93 if the gas tank had to be removed. I could have the car fixed for the cost of the diagnostic fee! I was further informed even if the issue with the car was related to recall #090226, GMC would not necessarily be responsible for covering cost of repairs as the recall was not for my car. I further noted that cars from others states where included regardless; however, Kentucky and Ohio were not included. I live in ky and purchased the car in Ohio. I'm not sure where the car was manufactured. I understand I might have to pay to have the car repair and have no issues doing same. I just want a fair determination as to whether my car should be included in the recall based on current problems and not based on a specific VIN number. How can GMC determine my car would not/does not have issues with regard to this recall simply based on a VIN number? any insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated.
