2005 Pontiac Grand Am: gas smell in the cabin

Filed Dec 15, 2014 · Fuel system · 126,000 miles · CA

This is my second complaint about the smell of fuel fumes a lady that I spoke to stated there should be an investigation about this issue. For my make and model but not my VIN number there has been numerous recalls for a situation due to the fuel system. Given my job responsibilities I have to charter adults with disabilities and I've been place under non vehicle compliance due to the strong odor of gas entering my vehicle. I also have my 2 children in my vehicle at all times which for me this is my only transportation. Again there's have been over 500 vehicles of my make and model who's has filed complaints on this situation and has been recalled for those vehicles.

The smell of gas out of the blue. At first we thought it was topping off the gas, so we stopped, then just some times it will just smell when you start the vehicle. Also, we have had the car barely oer a year and both the window regulators in the front doors are inoperative and the one part we need is not covered by the warranty and will cost us a little over 500.00 a per window.
