Automakers don't generally recall things unless it's a safety issue ,or maybe if it has an extremely high failure rate early on. It would be nice if they'd recall any problem that has a high failure rate though.

My system doesn't even work stopped around 90 thousand miles That was just the first time the dam car left me stranded for HOURS with my new born baby. Try to turn the car over and the gas guage read empty, security light flashed then stayed on, service light(hand with wrench) stays on. The second time (Apox 6mos later) going down the driveway just died. Same thing with the lights and won't cranck over for nothing. Towed it back up the driveway several hours later and the thing fired right up. This last time same thing got in tried to turn it over and gas empty, security light staying on, service light on. tried for hours nothing. I knew wasn't gas had 3/4 tank. On the advice of a 20 yr exp mec my guy switched the fuel relay with the blower relay this started the car right up haven't had a prob so far but I know it's a matter of time and I'll be kicking the tires again cursing ever buying a Saturn. Before that happens I'm going to go ahead and try some of the things I have read and see what happens.

Your problem probably isn't the passlock. Your fuel guage not working and the service engine soon light was probably because of the relay giving out all along or something similar to that. The passlock bypass trick is really just a cheap fix for cars that are having passlock issues only. I wouldn't cut up the wiring when it seems you don't have a passlock issue.
