I attempted to get a tx vehicle inspection and was advised there was a gas leak. I took the vehicle to firestone and they stated it was the fuel pump which they replaced and charged me $600 for parts and labor. I googled the issue afterwards and found there had been a recall for this problem, but when I contacted gm, they stated my VIN was not included in the recall. I just think it's strange that I am seeing others with this same issue being told the same thing about VIN specific. Is it not possible some vins were left out?

My pontiac g5 2007 took several times to turn over and start. We've noticed a strong gas smell and upon looking under the car we are having a gas leak. The gas isn't dripping down however more like a condensation all over the outside of the gas tank. I noticed they have had a recall on this before (the federal safety agency campaign id number: 09v419000) and (gm recall no. 090226), however gm is not considering this as a recall. This is not acceptable because it states if this issue isn't correct it could cause a fire! I for one do not feel safe driving this car let alone my wife (especially being her car). The issue stated in the recall is (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump) so I'm not understanding why I haven't been notified for this issue especially when the recall deals with my car.
Started to notice a little gas smell about middle of jan of 2012 didn't think much of it at the time and continued to drive it and then smell got stronger as I continued to drive it and even others started to notice it and would let me know that did I know they smelled gas,even had some one from the library page to inform me that someone who had parked next to me smelled gas and they want to let me know as other thought car may blow up or catch on fire (someone even left a note on my windshield about it and how I was hurting the environment) this is something government needs to look into since they and I help gm from going under buy going with a gm product and not get a family deal and a ford or chrysler. Gm need to step up on this as they say it's a warm weather state issue, well I guess in the mid west it never get warm and there are other complaints on this issue. It's up to gm to fix this and keep customer loyalties or have us move on to a chrysler or ford and never look back.
My car gradually began smelling like gasoline at the beginning of november. I thought it was the gas cap, replaced it, and it has not gone away and only become stronger smelling whether the car is in park or driving on the road. It also is hard to start after sitting for a few hours, it will not crank over on the 1st attempt anymore. I have researched on here, and found there was a recall and 1000s of others are having the same problem as me. However, because I am in ohio and not part of the "recall" states, my VIN is not part of the recall and it is a major concern. I have called pontiac and the best advice they gave me is to send it to a certified gm dealer. After reading posts on here, it seems that they are charging the consumer 500+ for a new fuel pump and that is ridiculous since it is a recall on the other cars with the specific vins. What exactly will it take for gm or pontiac to step up and say hey we made a mistake on most of these models, not just the 69,000 we recalled?

Serious safety issue here..on 1/18/2011 I got in my car went to the store. At this time I noticed a strong odor of gas inside my vehicle. Next day I started car and backed it out smelled stronger gas smell. Pulled car back in garage. Car was towed to gm dealer. Gm dealer stated "nothing is wrong with the vehicle" paid $200 got car back still wreaks of strong gas smell upon starting (inside the vehicle). I have contacted the attorney general and gm. I am getting nowhere with getting this vehicle repair. Basically the two warranties aren't being used because the gm dealers don't want to wait on their money and other pontiac g-5's have had the same problem (same year make and model) the fuel module and fuel pump are to be replaced free of charge I am getting conflicting statements on "my car not being on recall" and findings where there is a recall. I am considering giving the car back and requesting a full refund if they are not backing their warranty. I feel this car has severe safety issues and I cannot drive a vehicle that is a fire hazard/explosion risk. I was always told if you smell gas don't drive a vehicle. I'm starting to think when they sold the vehicle they knew there was safety issues as I was forced into gap insurance and an extended warranty. What good did it do to have all these protections if none of them are getting my car repaired. The first thing I did after smelling fuel was look up on recall information.. Vehicles assembled in mexico and alabama were on recall gm stated "your car is not included" why I am having these issues with my vehicle.? The recall states the fuel module may crack and leak gas which may result in fire/explosion. This will be the third recall I purchased the vehicle new. First door locks,then steering problem, now fuel leak.

I need this investigated please !!!!!!!I have a 2007 pontiac g5 and have been having issues with the engine running erratically. The RPM will jump up while I'm driving at a constant speed. This has been going on for a few months. Two weeks ago I was stopped at a traffic light and it speed up and red lined and lurched into the intersection. Thank god everyone avoided each other. It was during rush hour !!! It happened again this morning and I was almost t-boned by a semi !!! I have had it checked and no one has found anything!! There was a mechanic that had it cut up some when he drove it but said it was not doing enough to diagnose the problem. There are no warning lights on and it is random doing it. We have tried putting it in the same situations to get it to do it so the mechanics can see it for themselves,but have had no luck !!!!! I am very concerned about this and want something done !!!!! If more of these cars are doing this someone is going to die !!!! It is extremely dangerous and needs investigated please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
