Gas smell in the cabin by model year
What owners say
I bought my G6 in 2022. After about a year of having it, issues started happening. Everything was fine up until my passenger side airbag warning appeared on my radio screen and it won't go off. Could be a serious issue with the airbag. Maybe around the end of 2023 I started having problems with my power steering. I could drive down the road and all of a sudden my steering wheel would lock up. I could barely get myself to a spot to get off the road. I had to force the steering wheel to turn. I shut the car off for a minute or so just to see what would happen. After I turned the car back on the steering cleared, but as soon as I decided to go back home it locked back up. Now it's starting to lock back up this year. My major issue I have is the gas smell that's coming from the car. The smell is so strong, it's coming inside the car. When I went to get some tires put on car, the mechanic said he smelled the gas and there was a gas leak coming from the tank. The smell is so strong it can cause someone to pass out. It also causes the car to stall when trying to start it. I don't think this is safe. I have to drive my grand kids in my car. There needs to be a recall on this gas leak issue. Someone can get killed or badly injured if not taken seriously. I didn't have any warning signals appear at all about the gas/fuel issue.
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

Strong smell of gasoline all the time, we got the in the summer
My 2007 pontiac g6 smells like gasoline every time I drive it....the dealership will not help me...they said they know what the problem is but they refuse to tell me how to fix it...they said it costs at least $1200. I am disabled I do not have any money to fix this problem....I receive $1064. Per month social security... I know thousands of people have this exact problem yet there is no recall...so, does someone have to die in order to get this gasoline problem repaired?? I'm waiting ....waiting....waiting
The problem is my gas tank. Sometimes the tank shifts where I can barely get the gas nozzle into the gas tank as it is partially blocked. It first happened over a couple of years ago, but then it goes back into place. I used the date of the most recent time I noticed it happened. I figured this was wear and tear, but I'm seeing other complaints that may be related to this. I am seeing complaints of the same car about a strong gas smell, with leaks, though, I have never noticed either one. I, also, saw a 2007 pontiac grand prix recall on a gas tank seal.
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.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.
Strong odor of gasoline after driving the car when parked outside or in a garage. No signs of fuel leaks on the ground. The vehicle has only 65k miles on it. This can pose a danger since many home have the hot water heater in the garage with a pilot light. Also this fuel odor is around the exhaust system of the car. Do we have to wait until someone dies or loses their home before gm with take responsibility for poor engineering?
My car has a strong gas smell on th back passenger side. It's had been going on for almost a year. I'm finally able to have it looked at and hopefully fixed at a local dealership. The smell of gas is so strong it is nauseating and can be smelled several feet away from the car. I'm worried that there is a gas leak and it is the only vehicle I have to transport my three children. I've noticed the smell seems to be worse when parked but gas can be smelt inside the car while driving as well.
Fuel smell at rear of vehicle near gas tank. Vehicle has 93k miles.
