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?
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.
After filling up at the gas station there is a strong smell of gas outside and inside of my car until the gas has been ran out a little and it is so strong that my car is not drivable. I have been told that the fuel line to the fuel pump has a crack in it. .. Updated 02/19/15 *bf

Vehicle smells like gasoline. No visible leak yet. The smell is strong and is coming from the area of the top of the fuel tank. Since the smell started, the car has gotten harder to get started.
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.
