  FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

  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.*AK

  SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER

  CAR WAS STOPPED AND THEN WAS REAR ENDED BY LARGE FORD SUV. UPON INPACT DRIVERS SEAT BACK COLLAPSED INTO BACK SEAT. IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN A BOOK BAG ON REAR SEAT KEEPING IT FROM GOING FLAT SHE WOULD NOT HAVE SEEN SHE WAS PUSHED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS THEN ABLE TO SWERVE BACK INTO HER LANE. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. ALSO WHILE LAYING FLAT, IF HIT AGAIN SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT UNDER THE SEAT BELT (AND AIR BAG) POSSIBLY BECOMING SERIOUSLY OR FATALY INJURED.
