While driving the engine lights kept coming on, so we decided to get it checked by a mechanic and he told us that we have a faulty fuel tank pressure sensor and that the IMRC actuator valve is not working at all.

I own a Saturn Vue 2003 and topped the tank with gas only to witness a fuel odor and a leak under the tank area. The day before yesterday Monday the 3rd of April I visited dewey barber in gardendale Alabama after research and inquired about special coverage 12191, fuel odor and ground spotting. I further explained to them that when I accelerate there's a hesitation as if the flow of gas is altered. They looked up my VIN and discovered a recall of the key ignition cylinder and ordered the switch and key which would be in at 7:30am Tuesday. They wrote it up on a form and passed it on. 2-hours later they said the special coverage 12191 wasn't for my car and that it didn't appear under my VIN. They also concluded that my key was so worn that a copy couldn't be made, another key is ordered from the manufacturer. So I was told to call back Wednesday to see if the keys arrived. Who do I get to fix these problems concerning the fuel odor from the gas leak"???" there is a disturbance of fuel flow to the engine that needs to be repaired!!!!!!!

My key sometimes won't go into igniton and once it does, it sometimes falls out while I am driving or the car loses power while I'm driving. Is this problem a part of the GM recalls for 2003 Saturn ??
