Recently smelled fuel inside car. Problem was a leaking fuel rail, which I was told was very unusual. $500 in repairs. This part is rarely defective , vehicle has 47k miles. Out of warranty, but I am looking for some type of reimbursement due to the serious safety concern of leaking fuel in a hot engine compartment.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. The contact stated that she noticed orange and red liquid on the floor of her garage. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnose that a gasket attached to the water pump had come in contact with a dex-cool anti-freeze and caused a deterioration of the gasket and the metal. As a result, the water pump had to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The failure and current mileage was 70,000.
The engine cooling system has coolant leaking. Replace the crossover gasket. The car is running hot and not drivable.
There is a smell, like really dirty socks from the dash. It does not happen every time the car is used. To smell it you have to start the car and it is there. Sometimes the heater is on or the air. It also becomes less noticeable with time, up to 10 minutes. It is a very strong smell. I don't believe it is the catalytic converter, which has a different smell like rotten eggs. Because it goes away most the time I don't think is a dead mouse or something like that. It is not a dead animal smell. Help. You want to jump out of the car the first time you smell it. I do not know if it is a chemical or not but my noise burns a little.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While the contact was driving approximately between 45 to 50 MPH; the "power steering" warning indicator illuminated, followed by a loss of power steering. The contact continued to drive with excessive force applied to the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the power steering motor was replaced. Recently, the engine rpms increased excessively and exhibited extremely low engine power. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer in which the failure was related to the catalytic converter; however, the part was on back order. The repair will be covered under the warranty. The failure mileage was 45,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Dropped my car off for service at the dealership and they later called to say the engine had caught fire when they were test driving the car. An inspector from the insurors service bureau determined that a "rodent infestation" was the cause and that a nest had been built in the exhaust header. I have since seen several other owners reporting fires in the engine compartment and believe there might be a design defect that allows animals access to an internal location where engine heat ignites their nesting material.
