Filed Dec 25, 2023 · Fuel system · AZ

Strong fuel smell from rear of Pontiac G6 near fuel tank. This is a common problem due to a cracked elbow on top of the fuel pump. This issue is happening among all G6 models from 05 to 09 . This issue should be recalled as it is dangerous to the drivers , passengers or anyone that comes within 3 ft of Pontiacs that have this issue. Fuel odor can be smelt from further than 3ft that can damage to lungs, throat and multiple other health hazards. The fumes can reach even further witch is easily ignited if someone were to walk by with a cigarette This issue is common in 75% of Pontiac G6's on the road This defective part should be placed on recall and should definitely be looked into before someone loses their lives over an easily preventable occurrence from happening. Thank you for your time and please look into this issue before it's to late.

Catalytic converter needed replacing with less than 125, 000 miles on engine. Could not afford to replace so could not get state inspection to pass. Has been sitting and not driven since march 2019. Between dec 2018 and march 2019, both front and rear brakes failed. Car driver's door and convertible top stopped working. Needs approx. $3000 to fix which I don't have but still paying $261./ monthly payments and cannot drive. Finance company says they will not let me do voluntary repo. I am retired on fixed income. Any advice would be appreciated. Cannot even sell because I owe $7000 on it and not worth half that. What can you do with a car that only sits in driveway?

I have a 2009 pontiac g6 gt 4d. It is currently registered to my girlfriend VIN#[xxx]. Due to the electrical and technical problems this car has given use so much problems. Especially at night. Well it has an automatic light turn on and I have notes that the back brakes will not turn on unless my foot is on the brake. It is very dangerous for me to be driving especially with children. I've had cars come from around us and tell us to turn on the lights it quit embarrassing. It ended up to whatever electrical problems it had caused the car to have engine problems to were the car was saying reduced engine problems we have spend lots of money trying to get this car running but if something was fixed something else went wrong I have change the computer that cost a lot of money it has got to the point now that the cars cadillac converter, and fuel injectors have gone out. I have attempted to get the cadillac converter fixed but the best thing I could do was get it hollowed out. Know it makes a loud noise. I haven't ran the car for about two years now because the cost of repair for this car is out of my budget. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
