"takata recall" we just got this car it just started leaking around the fuel tank. My husband believes the problem is with the fuel pump. The fuel gage has not worked since before we got the car. It came from windowrock, arizona, was sold to a dealership in farmington, nm. Then it was sold to another dealership in kirtland, nm. We have it now and have had it almost a month. The airbag warning lights and the check engine lights are on. The check engine light error is something to do with the catalytic converter. I was looking for information about the fuel pump location and how to change it out. I saw something about the fuel pump leaks and airbag problems being a recall issue with this year, make and model out of arizona. We don't know if there have been previous issues with this problem on this vehicle. We want to be sure that our car is not going to catch fire due to this fuel pump leak, especially if it is a vehicle that should have been recalled and no one heeded that recall or they were not aware of the recall. We want to be and stay safe, and to have a safe vehicle. The leak was noticed when the 2007 pontiac torrent was parked. It leaks more and quite a lot of gas while it is parked or not moving such as at traffic lights, while waiting for the light to change. It may be leaking while it is traveling down the street, highway etc. We don't know for sure. While parked at the grocery store for about 15 to 20 minutes it leaked a puddle of gas about the size of a basketball around onto the parking lot where we were just parked in a space. This seems like a dangerous or potentially dangerous situation. Should this have been one of the vehicles recalled? We really need this unsafe situation corrected so that it doesn't catch fire and one of us or someone else be seriously injured or die in a car fire from this problem.
Fuel smell after driving. Gasoline leaking from the top of the fuel tank. Stabilitrax system light stays on even after the code was cleared by a certified gm mechanic.
I have a check leak in a fitting above the gas tank that is leaking on the exhaust. Several mechanics have seen this leak and fixed it under a recall but I have been told by gm that my particular VIN is not covered under the recall even though it's the ed act same problem. It leaks constantly.
Recently noticed a smell of gasoline coming from the vehicle. Noticed it on the outside of the vehicle at first but now can smell it on the inside as well. It doesn't matter if the car is in motion or just sitting. Smell is coming from rear of car close to gas tank.
There was a vivid gasoline smell inside the vehicle and on the outside right rear by the gas tank, took it to a mechanic come to find out it was was the return port on the fuel pump module that had cracked, which is very dangerous because I was driving the vehicle and a nice part for my brakes or anywhere could have caused a fire. I find out that there is a recall on the plastic supplier return port so I had my mechanic save my part on my vehicle and it is documented that this is the actual part that is on recall from other 2007 pontiac torrent this is a dangerous situation and I believe it needs attention before someone gets hurt or killed buy an explosion or fire.
Years ago we started smelling gasoline around the vehicle, we assumed that was normal, but two months ago the odor started smelling even inside the car causing us headaches. I checked under the hood, I found nothing; later I decided to inspect under the car. It was then that I noticed fuel was coming out from the upper side of the tank fuel down into the wiring connectors, which were soaked in fuel. At this point I have stopped driving the car.
Smell strong fuel leak in the back of the car by gas tank.
Vehicle smells like raw gasoline and leaks fuel if tank is filled --noticeable on the outside of vehicle --when stored in garage the whole area smells like raw gasoline--there is a recall for the fuel pump and I believe this vehicle has the same issue of the cracked fuel line from the tank--we bought the vehicle in 2016 from the gm dealer in wahoo sid dillon it was used.

The last 2 months I have noticed a decrease in power when I am on the freeway trying to accelerate and the car shakes due to the loss in power. I noticed there was a past recall for fuel pump issues.
There is fuel leaking from somewhere on top of the fuel tank or the general area and dripping to the ground. It leaks while in motion and also parked
Gas leak I cant locate but fills the car with very strong gas fumes and can also be spelled as you approach the vehicle (approx.5 yards away). This has been happening for a while and no one can find a leak but can smell the gas odor strong. I purchased a new gas cap at the beginning of this problem but that didn't help either. I see there was a recall that sounds like the issue I am having but the dealers tell me that since I am not in the states listed I have to figure out how to pay to fix myself; which I can not afford and is my only transportation for myself and my 2 1 year old grandchildren. I need help please
Passenger air bag sensor is faulty. Ignition switch is lose. Gas gauge is not working traction control stability control light are all on. Loses power and doesn't want to move sometimes.
On 11-10-16 we smelled gas outside the car after exiting the vehicle. We took it to our local mechanic. The nearest gm dealer is about 20 miles from our home. They checked the problem, found the fuel line on the fuel pump module cracked and leaking. They said we would have a fire soon if this was not repaired immediately. They removed and replaced fuel pump module. We paid for the repair...$592 for part & $200 labor. After repair, I called the dealer to see if this was a common problem with our vehicle. They said, yes, there is a "open service bulletin" for that vehicle with a reimbursement clause. We took the required paperwork to the dealer. They found that the reimbursement clause expired 7-31-2014, but there is no expiration if it is repaired at a dealer. If we had been aware of this problem or requirement, we would have taken it to the dealer. There was no communication to us from gm regarding this problem. We have been unsuccessful in our attempts to have gm take responsibility for this repair, even though they fully acknowledge the problem in document 4233868.

Vehicle was sluggish to start, so I replaced the battery, that didn't fix the problem. The mechanic said he smelled gas, and after checking it, he determined it was the fuel pump. He said that there was a recall for this problem, but then found out it was only available for certain VIN numbers. My car is the correct year, correct model and has the problem described in the recall, but it is limited to certain VIN numbers, how is that fair. After a bill of 1700.00. I think the recall needs to be investigated further if this is happening to other vehicles besides the VIN numbers listed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

We purchased the 2007 pontiac torrent on 10/02/2013. The test drive seemed to be fine. We drove the car in the city. The average speed limit is 25-35. We only drive the car to and from work and almost of the time to various drives. When I had to use highway 95 in delaware the car began pulling back and would not shift and from 40-55 (60) the car does not shift from 35-60 all of the time. We had to take the vehicle for inspection on 06/18/2014 we had the vehicle for 6-7 months . The 2007 torrent failed (when we had only owned it 5-6 mths). Pf9-return mvxcs20p, mvxcs30m, we had no choice but, to have the car repaired that day.

Rear passenger side of car smelled like gas, difficulty starting car. Car was taken in for repairs, which required a fuel pump replacement. There is a recall for this but only in the states of arizona, california, nevada and texas while this incident occurred in vermont.
Service stabilitrak and traction control come on always while on the freeway. Traction control will turn itself off. Not long after these lights come on, the check engine light will come on as well. All seem to clear themselves after a couple of days. By the time I am able to have it ran for a code the lights are already off. This has happened on several occasion and very concerned about transporting my [xxx] year old in this car. I have had to also replace the battery already 4 times in the car and have the fuel pump module replaced twice as well. *tr parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Experiencing the exact same problem as stated in the federal safety agency campaign number: 12v459000. Contacted gm and the vehicle is not included in the recall. Shouldn't any 2007 pontiac torrent with the exact same problem be included no matter where it is? Seems a little suspect that california, arizona, nevada and texas are included but new mexico is excluded. We get our vehicles from the same factories as the those other states. Current estimate to fix my vehicle is 1000.00.
Received a recall notice about a fuel pump/fuel leak issue. Went on 7/9/2013 to jim ellis chevrolet to have the part replaced. 2 weeks later, we have gas leaking out under the fuel tank of vehicle. Dropped car off at dealership who replaced the part (today is sunday) and they are closed. Left it there so they can look at it in the morning. Never had a problem until the part was replaced. I hope I don't have a problem with this dealer fixing what they did with the recall. On notice.
