Bad fuel leak , location from top of fuel cell, Definitely from the fuel pump area of the top of the tank. Can't drive because it leaks so bad that fuel is dropping on top of the exhaust pipes and I am afraid of a fire any time driving the vehicle.i really like the vehicle but can't drive it because of safety reasons. What now? I have read of other G6 Pontiacs having recalls done so why isn't my vin. Covered the same way? I am very concerned about this leak and for others with the same , considering that it is high risk for loss of life...

What owners say
The plastic hose that comes off the fuel pump cracked causing fuel to leak out of my car and very strong gas Vapors inside of my car. The smell of gas inside my car was so strong it literally made me sick not to mention gas leak in everywhere is never good. There was no light sensor or anything that come on to give any warnings still no lights on no check engine no nothing just fuel sausage and the smell is how I discovered it also there are many others with the Pontiac G6 GT they have the same issue which is why we are trying to report it to y'all as a safety concern
Power steering message pops up and it makes it very hard to turn. This may happen when you crank the vehicle or will happen while driving the vehicle. It makes it pull to the side. It is very dangerous. Also, my car has a problem with the gas(fuel pump) the fuel pump leaks fast onto the gas tank. That is a fire hazard. It is also horrible on my gas mileage. There needs to be a recall and if there is one already or needs to be expanded. I've had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. And spent too much money on it. There something wrong with the electric box and it throws codes for multiple problems, and when those problems are fixed it doesn't help. It's costing people money for nothing.
Fuel leaking onto top of gas tank, elbow coming off the fuel pump has developed a pin hole. Strong odor of gasoline, car hard to start after sitting any length of time. Fuel drips onto exhaust.
The car is leaking from the fuel pump or an area connecting to it. After reading of numerous other complaints online I decided to report this. In the beginning I noticed the smell of gas when driving and parked. At this point it is leaking in both scenarios.
At 67,000 miles during oil change, attendant noticed gas smell and found fuel pump assembly hose coming out of gas tank to be cracked and fuel running down fuel tank next to muffler pipe. Dangerous. Removed fuel tank and upon inspection confirmed problem. Had fuel pump assembly replaced at cost of over $800 dollars. Outrageous.
Fuel leak seepage from top of tank/fuel pump
The car was leaking fuel fumes into the garage. We were having to raise the garage door for fear of a fire or explosion because the fumes were so strong. The car had a very hard time starting after sitting so the entire fuel pump module had to be replaced. The mechanics told us that this seems to be a common problem in these cars.
Pontiac g6 fuel leaking and hard to start. I think this is supposed to be covered by gm. It is registered in nevada and I read an article that gm is supposed to replace the fuel pump because of a crack in the fuel pump. My local dealership says this does not cover my vehicle and my VIN number is not on the recall list. The fuel module has been replaced once for a leaking fuel smell. I think in 2011. This vehicle has been diagnosed as having a fuel pump leak.
Strong odor of gasoline both inside and outside the vehicle. Very noticeable when driving and after exiting the car. Fuel leak traced to a cracked plastic elbow on top of the fuel pump assembly. Had a dealership install a new fuel pump.
