When I drive my car, a strong odor of gass fills up my car. It is so strong that it gives me a killer headache. I have a gas leak coming from the back of the car. The shop I take my car to have told me that it is more than likely a fuel pump leakage. They have told me that they have had to fix many, many fuel pump leakages on pontiac g6s. Also, my tail lights have stopped working for some reason. They both stopped working at the same time. The gas leakage seems to leak durring and after I drive it. The tail lights... I had just gotten off of work when I got into my car and the police officer I work with told me they were not working. That same night I got home and locked my car. I went to get something out of it and they were working fine. After a few days I was pulled over again because they had stopped working again. They currently do not work. The officer also brought up the strong smell of gas she present.I got pulled over on an innercity road.

Took my car to the gmc. Dealer to get recalls fixed. They also noticed strong gas odor. Inspection stated I had a gas leak at the top of my tank and it was dangerous but no recall on this so almost 300$labor +parts... I called gmc and they said my car had too many miles. And 10 years old. I don't feel like I should have to pay for an issue that is clearly from the manufacturer. Any help or advice please! My car could burst into flames.

On september 2014, I purchased a 2005 pontiac g6 with about 182,000 miles for the purposes of driving me to work. I was not aware or made aware of a strong fuel smell emitting from outside and inside the car at low or high speeds. I drove the car to my local mechanic for inspection a few days later. I was later advised that a fuel pump connector was possibly cracked and leaking gasoline above the gas tank. My mechanic also advised me not to drive my car any further since it posed a fire danger. In addition, gm recalled the 2007-2009 pontiac g6 vehicles for the same issue but not for the 2005-6 pontiac g6 cars. My car currently has two recalls which my local gm dealership will fix in the upcoming week. Many customers have complained about the same issue and no recall has been made to address this problem. Why hasn't this issue been recalled with the faulty fuel pumps? Why should I have to pay out of pocket for a manufacture defect?

I had parked my car in my driveway, when I noticed a gas smell coming from the back end of my car. When my father in law came out he saw that there was gas leaking onto my exhaust. After doing research online I have come across a recall for the full pump seal. I contacted gm and are claiming to not have any information on this recall. I as well called airtrex productions and they will only take it after market. Why was I not warned when I bought this car less than a year ago. Gm needs to buy these cars off of us! Because it is their fault we have such issues.

Friday shortly after returning home from work and parking my car in the garage, I walked outside to retrieve something from the garage and upon opening the garage door, I nearly fell over from the gasoline fumes that I encountered. My entire garage was filled with the vapors of gasoline. I was very concerned but did not see any leaks around my car. I did not dare attempt to start the vehicle for fear of fire. I did not drive my car all weekend. Monday morning I took the car to a mechanic and he discovered the fuel assembly unit had a leak near the fuel arm mechanism leading to the engine. This required replacing the entire fuel assembly unit. The plastic piece should show no signs of wear and tear since it is encased within the fuel assembly unit. This is clearly a flawed design and it should be recalled. It is an extremely dangerous situation to have a fuel leak and had I been parked at my office in the underground parking structure, a lighted match or cigarette would have been disastrous. This defective fuel assembly must be recalled as it poses a great safety risk to persons and property. My check engine light never came on nor did any other warning message alert me to the potential danger this defect caused.

My grandma owns this car, when I visited this week there was a very strong odor of gas in her garage. She told me it has been present for more than 6 months. I immediately had her open the garage door and made an appt with a mechanic. It was the cracked elbow on the fuel pump that had been continuously leaking gas onto the top of the gas tank. The fuel pump was replaced, which cost more than $700. After speaking with the mechanic and a simple computer search I realized that gm is well aware of the problem. It is outrageous that gm allowed this to go unannounced. She runs a kiln in her garage at heats over 1800. She had essentially a bowl of fuel sitting on her gas tank for over 6mo. While she drove and while it was closed in her garage. Thank god she's safe, because it was no thanks to gm.
