Gas started leaking at a steady stream from the top of the tank whenever the engine was running. The car was towed to the dealer. From the dealer repair statement: "customer states check raw gas leaking from above the fuel tank, only with car running. Fuel tank retainer clip broken. Replaced fuel tank retainer clip." My concern: This exact same problem (fuel tank retainer clip failure and leaking gas) was a safety recall for 2001 and newer Saab 9-3S. Saab should have included 2000 models as well since they have the same design (according to the dealer and comments on the web). Overall, this is a good car, but safety matters!
