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.

There was a recall on my 2005 pontiac grand am ( pressure regulator) I didn't know that there was a recall on the part until the company that fix it told me that it was a recall part. I went on the internet and found the information about it. When I start contacting the dealership about reimbursing me I was given the run around. From what I gather you'll regulates the safety of a vehicle on the road, especially when the defect part could have caused a fire. It's not fair to me that the pontiac dealership has given me the run around . I don;t know what you can do to help me. I'm only asking them to reimburse me of $223.65.
Vehicle just shut off while driving on highway. Hazardous to myself and others on the road, out of no where. Lights on dash go crazy and vehicle stops running. First time it happened got towed to a shop said there is possible leaking of the fuel tank, also suggested to replace fuel pump, then decided that was not needed and replaced fuel pressure regulator. Vehicle worked for 3 months, but could still smell fumes of gas when first started car, this smell began first week I purchased the vehicle. Second time was two days ago on the highway once again. Mechanic is concerned regarding fuel tank leak and fuel pressure regulators again. I am concerned to drive this vehicle due to it being unsafe and possible fire or explosion could occur. Who manufactures a vehicle that has insufficient fuel tank welding??? This is ridiculous and dangerous.
