Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2009 Saturn Aura

The contact owns a 2009 Saturn Aura. While the vehicle was parked in a parking lot, the contact detected a fuel odor. The contact checked underneath the vehicle, but did not see a fuel leak. In addition, while driving approximately 40 mph, the engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact's husband, a mechanic, checked the code that read large evap leak. The vehicle was taken to auto zone (located on main st in colony, TX). The salesperson printed a list of eighteen different evap leaks that could be the cause of the failure. The contact took the vehicle to huffines Chevrolet (located in lewisville, TX) where it was diagnosed that the cam valve gasket failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed for the fuel failure. The dealer informed the contact that there was a leak in the fuel tank and they would had to drop the fuel tank to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired due to the diagnostic cost. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

Been having problems with the transmission since I bought the car new. It shifts in 1st and 2nd fine but going into 3rd or 5th gear it will shift to neutral and then shift hard into gear. Dealership could not replicate problem but am still having it. Then recently been having a strong smell of gas from the rear of the car at the rear doors. Looked underneath the car and saw that the tank had a wet spot from fuel leaking for a while. Have never over filled my car with gas. I did drop the tank and come to fine out the whole top of the tank is covered in gas. It has been leaking for a long while.
