1 Tank Assembly problem of the 1996 Saturn SC2

Failure Date: 09/07/1998

As with complaint 828481, my vehicle stopped in the middle of the highway and wouldn't run until I filled the gas tank. The gas tank had imploded. This happened twice - at approximately 34,000 miles (tank replaced under warranty -9/8/98) and again at approximately 63,000 miles (tank replaced at my expense - 9/20/2001). Both times, I was at highway speed, and both times I was lucky to be able to steer the car to the shoulder. The first time, the police on the NJ turnpike had me towed to a gas station - the second time, the police brought a five gallon can and poured it into my gas tank.

3 Tank Assembly problem of the 2001 Saturn SC2

It is a concern to me that my gas bangs around in tank and I hear it. It is so loud of a hi t at times that I think I have hit something. It is most noticable between 3/4 and 1/2 full. I have never been in a car that you hear the gas in it like this. Saturn told me this is how it is.
