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
2007 Pontiac G6 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 101, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
I have replaced the alternator, the electric power steering assist motor and air filter on multiple occasions and, after doing some research, have found that my car is experiencing every issue th's to have seen in previous gm vehicle safety recalls. Unfortunately, my VIN number seems to be one of those that has not been identified has having had those issues although it currently is experiencing them. I want to lodge a complaint that the VIN number search tool is not accurate enough to determine the validity of a claim. I say this because even on the federal safety agency website, the tool says that not all VIN numbers that are experiencing issues with a recall have actually been associated to any recalls. As there do exist current recalls for all 07 pontiac g6 models, there are no recalls related to my specific VIN number. But, all of the recalls directly mention every issues that my car is currently experiencing. Including, the transmission not properly shifting due to a madness or break in the shift cable, the power steering motor suddenly dying, the car experiencing a sudden loss of power, etc. Each of these issues is directly mentioned in a recall for g6 models in general, but for some reason, not for my car, specifically?
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.
Takata recall my son gave me this vehicle and it sent me a warning about engine loss while driving. Sometimes it picks up and sometimes it doesn't. I also noticed it doesn't have a transmission fluid resivoir. Sometimes theirs a gas leak while idle and sometimes they don't.
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.
2007 g6 convertible smelling fuel upon parking and turning off car, coming from the fuel tank area.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While attempting to start the vehicle, the contact noticed a fuel odor in the vehicle. The contact exited the vehicle and found a fuel leak near the exhaust pipe. The contact turned off the vehicle. The contact called an independent mechanic and was informed that they were familiar with this type of failure with the vehicle. The dealer (bob howard buick gmc, 13241 broadway ext, oklahoma city, ok 73114, (405) 936-8800) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.
Power steering issues, check engine light are still coming on after my mechanic worked on it. Now it's saying to check my gas cap as well... I pull over to check it by opening and closing it again and it's fine for about .25-.50 of a mile.
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.
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.
Smelt gasoline around back of car. Happened anytime...parked or running. Took to dealership and they said it was leaking on top of gas tank. Said it would be around $800 to fix it cause they had to replace the whole tank. My car not under the recall.
Increasingly over the last month there has been a strong smell of gas inside and outside of the car. It's stronger when stationary. One morning the smell had entered our home from the garage which is next to my daughters room. The car hesitates or may not turn over at all when turning the key in the ignition. My vehicle is experiencing the same issue as other vehicles of this type but was not included in the recall. It was also purchased and is still registered in florida. This is a safety hazard created by gm specifications.
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.

Strong fuel/gas odor coming from car when driving and more so when it is turned off and parked in a garage. This seems to be a potential safety hazard, in that a fire could develop. I have noted that there have been many complaints on this issue. I feel gm should provide a free repair. The car has 58000 miles. Included document does not include my 2007 pontiac g6 and it should.
Fuel smell overwhelming in garage
Strong smell of gasoline, can not park in garage it is so strong
Strong fuel smell coming from rear of vehicle. This appears to be related to the plastic elbow gm used in the fuel pump assembly. This is a significant safety hazard. Research shows this is is a known issue with 2007 g5 models and other gm vehicles and have active recalls in place. There are several the federal safety agency complaints for this problem and same model/year vehicle as mine. Contacted gm and they refuse to take any action at this time. The dealer cost to repair this manufacturer defect is approximately $800.00. This is totally unacceptable that gm is not acknowledging this issue and is refusing to take action. Is this going to remain open until there is a fatality caused by this known issue?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g6. While the tires were being changed, the mechanic noticed that the fuel pump was leaking. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000. ..updated 10/18/16 *bf the consumer stated this vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was repaired. Updated 09/08/2017
Strong gas odor from car while car in running and after car is stopped. Check engine light codep0446 emission system vent solenoid replacement via auto zone code system reader. Gas found sitting on top of gas tank.
I have attempted to speak to the dealer I purchased this car from and have been unsuccessful. I have an engine oil leak, gas leak, and I am not able to turn my wheel left or right as something is and has been going on with my powersteering. I have paid for repairs but have been pushed off and given the run around about all that I have said. My car is and has been unsafe to drive and now I do not know what to do as it has gotten terribly worse. I have been advised that all recalls were done (by the dealer), and other sources have advised me they could not have been done with the problems that I am been having and that I am currently having.
When I visited a reputable brake shop for a brake check, it was discovered that my vehicle had a gasoline leak near the exhaust pipe. I took my vehicle to another brake shop which dropped my gasoline tank, only to discover that my vehicle had a leaky fuel pump. Before this brake shop worked on my vehicle, the mechanic told me that he was almost sure that the fuel pump had been recalled. I proceeded to go to brian harris chevrolet, where the service manager checked my VIN number, only to inform me that my VIN number did not have a recall on the fuel pump. I was told that general motors would reimburse me for the fuel pump replacement, even if it was not replaced at a dealership, if the fuel pump might be recalled in the future. I went back to the other facility for the fuel pump replacement as a result. I looked on the internet and found out that general motors had recalled pontiac g6's for the model years 2004-2008. My vehicle had been smelling of gasoline for awhile when stationary and I did not know why. My engine light came on about one month prior, where I had a fuel sensor code pulled. About one week later the engine light went off. My leaking fuel pump was only discovered about one month later, only because I happened to go get my brakes checked.
