2005 Pontiac G6: fuel pump failure

Filed Aug 12, 2018 · Fuel system · 180,000 miles · SC

Top of fuel pumps out take gets a hairline crack allowing fuel to leak on top of gas tank and not be visible. Creates a strong odor and fire hazard. If looked up online this complaint is very common and later models warranted a recall. The 2005-6 should also be included but haven't been due to age and labor involved to drop the gas tank due to newer models having easier access to the pump without dropping the tank.

My car is smelling like gas I have a leak and im thinking its the fuel pump leaking. My son is a certified mechanic and he looked at my car. He is the one who also said that is probably the fuel pump.there were recalls on 2006 and up in years on the fuel pump. I have one a year 2005 . I think they need to check on the 2005s for this problem.

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.

I first noticed the smell of gasoline when the car was parked. If it was parked on a slight incline, there was a puddle of gas on the driveway. Because I saw online that many others were having a similar problem, I checked to see if there was a recall...but there wasn't. I finally had the fuel pump replaced because I was afraid of a fire. Will I be reimbursed if there is finally a recall done on this very dangerous issue?

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?

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.
