| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Gasoline leak - i was driving with my two small children in the car (2001 saab 9-5 wagon (4-cylinder) when someone pulled up beside me to tell me that gas was pouring our of my car. i stopped the car and the remainder of the tank emptied on the ground. once the fire chief okay'ed the car for transport, (this was required by the towing company.) i had the car towed to the dealership. the dealership indicated that the clip for the fuel line had come undone and that the fuel line had come loose. they also indicated that "they had seen this before". they removed the fuel tank, replaced the fuel line, replaced the fuel tank and placed a clamp over the line. there is a recall for the saab 9-3 for a related fuel clip problem. based on my experience (and other 9-5 drivers i have seen via the internet), i think saab needs a recall or check on this...*jb |
