My 2009 pontiac g6 gt has strong smell of gas while sitting in the garage. Pontiac has had many complaints for same problem, different years. Customers have found plastic hose on top of gas tank cracked and leaking gas on top of tank. Very dangerous! This should be addressed as recall repair!

My vehicle exhibits the exact description of the faulty ggas tank leak covering the g6 up to 2008 but mine is a 2009. It is unacceptable to not cover every year that has this problem. The gas leaks right onto the muffler which is hot and can be deadly in my opinion. We are afraid to drive the car since I took a good look at how bad the leak actually is. Pontiac has sold a defective product to unsuspecting buyers which could easily cause death if the gasoline igignitesr the fumes falling directly on the hot muffler cause an explosion.I took several photos showing the extent of the leak. Pontiac customer support said my car is not covered because it was built in a plant that fixed the leak issue already. When I asked the rep if it was fixed already ehy was it leaking he had no answer. Only stated that my car was not covered and I had to pay for the repairs myself out of pocket. How are they allowed to put the public at grave risk and not be respinsible for fixing their defective product? This issue serms very serious to me snd I just pray nobody gets bloen up.is there anything else I can do? Unbelievable... P.s. Car leaks anytime it is on and gas lines are pressurized. In the photos you can see that the muffler is bathed with gasoline which can easily cause a fire or explosion.

Strong gasoline smell from the car after driving. Suspect the fuel hose or fitting from the fuel pump is leaking gasoline on top of the gas tank. The fuel pump connector is right next to it and it could ignite the gasoline!

I have a gas odor coming from my car and was informed by my mechanic that there is a gas leak coming from the top of the gas tank . I could see when it was on the lift signs of leakage to the botom of the tank. When trying to start the car in the morning it cranks slightly longer but if I just turn the key on and wait a few seconds it seems to build up fuel pressure and cranks right up.

Started smelling fuel on exterior of the vehicle, most prominently near the gas tank. Took it to the dealership and found that the line connected to the fuel pump was corroding and fuel was leaking. They will have to replace the entire fuel pump module, as parts are not sold separately. The mechanic said that these are known issues with pontiacs. Did a little digging and found that there were over 40,000 recalls on gm products with this same issue, however, for some reason the 2009 pontiac g6 did not make that list. Apparently we need some more complaints to get gm to add the g6 to the recall list (as leaking fuel could be a fire hazard!!!!).

The gas tank on this 2009 pontiac g6 gt is leaking fuel. Car was taken to dealer, dealer said that the fuel pump located in the gas tank needed to be replaced as it is leaking. Further investigation using non gm auto repair shops, I found this problem was not only on the g6 but many of the gm vehicles from 2005 to 2009. I believe that gm should issue a recall immediately due the fuel leaking from tank and splattering onto the hot exhaust system. At this time I'm not aware of any deaths related to this problem but will continue my research. This is my 24 year old niece's car. I'm her uncle.
