2006 PONTIAC G6 Fuel/propulsion System Problems

I had to replace the fuel pump module assembly because it was leaking fuel out from above the fuel tank and dripping down near the exhaust. A strong fuel smell alerted me to the issue and upon inspection we found fuel dripping out. This is a safety issue because leaking fuel near the exhaust is a possible problem for ignighting. There was no indication from the car itself that the leak was occurring. We had to figure it out ourselves and get it inspected at a shop and repaired immediately.

THE SMALL PLASTIC PROTRUSIONS USED TO ATTACH FUEL LINES TO THE FUEL PUMP FAILED, 2 OUT OF 3 BROKE, RESULTING IN FUEL SPRAYING ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2016. WHEN I FILL IT UP WITH GAS THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR THAT LASTS FOR DAYS. IF YOU WALK ANYWHERE NEAR THE CAR, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN SITTING YOU SMELL A STRONG GAS ODOR. I PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THERE IS A BIG STAIN WHERE GAS HAS LEAKED. I HAVE CHATTED WITH PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR OF CAR AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR. I WAS TOLD IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD RESULT IN FIRE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE GAS FILLER TUBE IS CRACKED OR HAS OTHER DAMAGE TO IT. WITH SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION DONE TO FIND THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 PONTIAC G6. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. ALSO, AN ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INDICATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

HAVE REPLACED BULBS IN HEADLIGHTS AND THE CONNECTORS YET THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL STILL NOT TURN ON HAVE TO USE BRIGHTS AND THEY SOMETIMES DONT WORK. THE FUEL SENSOR ON THE GAS TANK KEEPS CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND CAUSING ENGINE TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS COMING ON WHEN ALL BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH CALIPERS AND ROTORS.

I NOTICED AFTER I GOT THE CAR THAT THE GAS WAS GOING AWFUL FAST, SO I DECIDED TO LOOK INTO AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A GAS LEAK AND IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP

I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY, AND I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AND MECHANICS DON'T WANT TO WORK ON IT BECAUSE OF THE AREA IT'S IN. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 1YR, AND IT'S REALLY ANNOYING AND TIRING.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING FUEL PUMP FAILURE, INCLUDING LEAKAGE WHICH PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD. THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE HAS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT GENERAL MOTORS DENIED THE REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE VIN NUMBER. THEY CLAIM THAT THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO THE ACTUAL VIN NUMBER. HAVING SUFFERED A FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING LEAKAGE AND THEREFORE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD, I PAID TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THIS REPAIR COST ME $881.46. CLEARLY, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO GENERAL MOTORS. THIS SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURE.

THERE IS A GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR AT ALL TIMES. I DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FOR THE SAME EXACT CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I BELIEVE IT'S A CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK OR HOSE. I'VE NOTICED SINCE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR SMELLS A LOT LIKE GASOLINE. EVERY TIME I TURN IT ON IT STARTS SMELLING LIKE A STRONG ODOR OF GAS.IT SMELLS MORE WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE STREET.

OWNER OF A 2006 PONTIAC G6. STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM THE CAR. IT TAKES A 2ND ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR AS WELL. I'VE SEEN THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OVER THE YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE BUT NO RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2006. SINCE WE'RE LONG PAST ANY WARRANTY, I HAD HOPES OF A RECALL BUT SINCE THERE ISN'T, I'M LOOKING AT OVER $1000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR TO FIX THE FUEL PUMP LINE NOW RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT'S SCARY TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

JUST RECENTLY I HAD MY PONTIAC, 2006, G-6 REPAIRED AT THE CHEVY DEALER. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY FUEL LEAK UNTIL THE WERE GOING TO DROP THE FUEL TANK. THERE THEY FOUND THE FUEL LEAK. THEY REMOVED THE FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I HAD CALLED GM PONTIAC TO CHECK ON THE PONTIAC, 2006 G-6 RECALL. THEY SAID THERE ARE NO PONTIAC G-6 RECALLS. I TOLD THEM THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2006 PONTIAC STATING THAT THE FUEL PUMP LEAKS. ACCORDING TO AIRTEC THEY DID A RECALL ON THEIR FUEL PUMPS MODEL NO. E3591M. THIS PUMP LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE PUMP THEY TOOK OUT. THEY STATED THE FUEL PUMP SEAL WILL LEAK GAS.

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS FOR SOME TIME NOW. MAINLY WHEN I PARK THE CAR. THE SMELL LINGERS FOR A GREAT WHILE. I HAVEN'T SEEN A PHYSICAL LEAK ON THE GROUND BUT MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE REAR A NOTICED GASOLINE ON AROUND THE FUEL SYSTEM. I HAVE LOOKED FOR MONTHS NOW ON THE INTERNET AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. NOW LOOKING AT THE NHTSA WEBSITE, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FILED ABOUT 50 TIMES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I PERSONALLY CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALER SINCE THEY CHARGE AN ARM AND A LEG. PLUS I HAVE LOOKED UP SOME OF THE PARTS INVOLVED AND IT IS JUST OUT OF MY BUDGET. I NEED MY CAR TO GET WORK TO MAKE MONEY TO PAY BILLS AND IT AMAZES ME THAT THE MANUFACTURE, WHOM SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN WORD BY NOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE THE OLDEST COMPLAINT FILED LOOKS LIKE FROM 2012, HAS GONE NOTHING IN REGARDS TO THIS AND FORCING OWNERS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO GET THIS ISSUE REPAIRED. LIKE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS, I SAY IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO GET INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED. NOT EVEYONE CAN AFFORD TO REPAIR. I JUST HOPE THAT IT IS NOT TOO LATE AND LIVES ARE LOST BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN.

FUEL PUMP HAS DEVELOPED A HAIRLINE CRACK IN ELBOW BEND THAT CAUSES GAS TO LEAK ON TO MY GAS TANK AND RUN DOWN ON TO MY EXHAUST WHICH MY MECHANIC SAID IT IS LIKELY TO CAUSE A FIRE WHILE I AM DRIVING SINCE IT IS A HIGH PRESSURE LINE AND HITTING MY EXHAUST. CAR HAS A GAS ODOR AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN NOT RUNNING. WHILE PARKED IN YOUR GARAGE MY HOUSE FILLS WITH THE SMELL OF GASOLINE TO THE EXTENT MY FAMILY IS HAVING HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. FRIENDS AT WORK CAN SMELL IT IN THE PARKING LOT SEVERAL CARS AWAY FROM MY CAR. UPON LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE G6

CAR IS LEAKING GAS, EVERY TIME YOU OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR YOU GET HIT WITH A PU GENT ODOR OF GAS AND THE FUEL HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE LAST DRIVING IT

THE IS A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SMELL THAT IS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL OF FUEL IS ALSO VERY PROMINENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AS THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. NEWER PONTIAC G6 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. THE 2006 SHOULD BE REPAIRED THROUGH A RECALL. IT IS OBVIOUS THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANKS.

I HAVE A 06 G6 2.4L 4CYL AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN GIVING OFF A STRONG FUEL SMELL. I SMELL IT WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS UNDER THE HOOD AND CAR AND CANNOT FIND ANY. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO CRANK THE CAR IT DOESN'T START UNTIL MY SECOND ATTEMPT. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY CAR AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE WORRIED WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND HIS CAR SEAT IS LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER REAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY AS WELL AS MINE. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY MY CAR MAY BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT A RED LIGHT, AT THE MALL, ETC. PUTTING NOT ONLY OUR LIVES AT RISK, BUT ALSO THE LIVES OF OTHERS NEARBY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR SCANNER FOR FREE. THEY GAVE ME THIS CODE - P0454 FUEL TANK PRESSURE (FTP) SENSOR INTERMITTENT.

STRONG SMELL OF FUEL AFTER DRIVING. HESITATION WHILE STARTING COLD ENGINE. NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAK ON GROUND.

MY VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. THIS SMELL IS PRESENT WHEN DRIVING AND LONG AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN POWERED OFF. A VISUAL INSPECTION BY A FRIEND WHO IS A 'SHADE-TREE' MECHANIC SHOW NO OBVIOUS LEAKS NOR DO I NOTICE ANYTHING IN THE DRIVEWAY. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE WINDOWS CRACKED. I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY FOR REPAIRS. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING OTHER OWNERS HAVE SEEN AND IF POSSIBLY THERE IS OR WILL BE A RECALL? I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING (AND GETTING WORSE) FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND PARKING, BOTH CAR INTERIOR AND TRUNK SMELLED STRONGLY OF GAS. CHECKED PAVEMENT UNDER CAR FOR LEAKING GAS, BUT DID NOT SEE ANY. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES WITH THE SMELL DETECTED WHILE DRIVING. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE GAS SMELL IS SO STRONG AND I AM AFRAID OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS WHO HAVE IDENTIFIED SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN TRACED TO A HARD PLASTIC FUEL LINE THAT COMES OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP AT THE GAS TANK. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED...TOO RISKY TO DRIVE. ALL OF THIS COMBINED WITH THE CAR'S HISTORY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ISSUES ARE JUST WAY TOO MUCH. I CANNOT RELY ON THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION AT ALL, AND IT IS APPARENTLY WORTHLESS AS A TRADE-IN.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND WAS STOPPED BY A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE FLUID WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. IT TURNS OUT THAT A FITTING ON THE GAS TANK BROKE AND FUEL WAS BEING PUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT A HIGH RATE.

I'VE NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY CAR. I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN SHOWED ME WHERE GAS IS LEAKING FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE ACTUAL TANK. THE GAS IS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TANK CAUSING IT TO DRIP FROM THE FUEL TANK COVER. I HAVE TO GET AN ASSESSMENT TO FIND OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY LIES AND HOW MUCH TIME AND MONEY IT'LL COST ME TO REPAIR IT. FROM THE LOOKS OF THE OTHER POSTS, I'M NOT THE ONLY G6 OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILIES/PASSENGERS. I WOULD LIKE FOR GM TO ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY TO REPAIR THESE ISSUES. *TR

JUNE OF 2008, THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AND SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED IT HASN'T COME BACK ON UNTIL ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND IT IS NOW NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD IF I DON'T GET IT FIXED THEN WHEN IT COMES BACK ON THEN THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. FEBRUARY OF 2011, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF MY O2 SENSORS AND THEN THE BRAIN IN ORDER FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF. BUT EVERY WINTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS 35DEGREES OR LOWER AND THEN I AM UNABLE TO REMOTE START MY CAR. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND CODE THAT KEEPS COMING UP IS THAT I HAVE BAD O2 SENSORS BUT WHEN THEY ARE CHECKED THEY ARE STILL GOOD. BOTH OF THESE ARE A REAL PAIN.

FAMILY NOTICED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. INSIDE THE CAR, THE SMELL WAS LESS STRONG, BUT STILL NOTICEABLE. IN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FOUND BOTH A FUEL LEAK AND A COOLANT LEAK AND REPAIRED BOTH. WHEN I TOOK BACK THE VEHICLE, I COULD STILL SMELL IT AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT WAS RESIDUAL. AFTER A WEEK, THE SMELL WAS JUST AS STRONG AND I RETURNED IT.

I RETURNED IT AND THEY DROPPED OUT THE FUEL TANK (AND FORGOT TO REATTACH IT!), BUT STATED THEY STILL COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE. THEY WASHED IT AGAIN AND SAID IT WAS THE BEST THEY COULD DO. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT PONTIAC'S FUEL PUMP. I NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE YEAR MODELS (RECALL 09V-419), BUT NOT 2006 (YET). ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH AND CONTACT WITH GM THE 2006 G6 HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE CURRENT RECALL 09V-419.

I HAVE A PONTIAC G6 AND WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, THE DASH WOULD SAY CHECK GAS CAP. I BOUGHT LIKE 3 OR 4 NEW GAS CAPS AND THE WARNING CONTINUED. WHILE MY CAR IS PARKED, A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE CAN BE SMELLED. SEEMS PRETTY DANGEROUS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THEY TOOK IT APART THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS BROKEN ALSO. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

STARTED NOTICING A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER A WHILE THE SMELL BECAME STRONGER AND WE COULD SMELL IT A DAY AFTER WE HAD EVEN DRIVEN THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO START. APPARENTLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND IT IS ACTUALLY LEAKING GASOLINE AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. WE HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS CAR RELIGIOUSLY SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND OTHER YEAR MODELS. ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH AND CONTACT WITH GM THE 2006 G6 HAS NOT BEEN ADDED TO THE CURRENT RECALL 09V-419 WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND OCCURS JUST FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 PONTIAC G6 STARTED EMITTING A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVEL OR IF THE CAR WAS RUNNING OR NOT. FIRST VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THERE WAS NOT A STEADY LEAK OF FUEL ON THE GROUND UNDER THE CAR. THE FUEL ODOR PROGRESSIVELY INTENSIFIED AND UPON THE SECOND MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND ABOVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR

2 DAYS IN A ROW I HAVE BEEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, AND A ALERT CHIME SOUNDS. PONTIAC HAS RECALLED OTHER MAKES/MODELS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THE 2006 G6 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. MY CAR IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. THERE ARE PLENTY OF REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE. WHY IS PONTIAC NOT BEING REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY CARS? 2 MONTHS AGO I CONTACTED PONTIAC BECAUSE MY CAR WAS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE GAS LINE. THIS WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PLASTIC PART IN THE FUEL PUMP. AGAIN, PONTIAC HAD A PARTIAL RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME PART, AND THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER MODELS, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE 2006 G6. SINCE LEAKING FUEL IS A HAZARD TO MY FAMILY I WAS FORCED TO GET THIS FIXED, AND PONTIAC DID NOT REIMBURSE OR HELP WITH THE COST. AGAIN, WHY IS PONTIAC NOT BEING REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY CARS THAT ARE DANGEROUS TO THE FAMILIES WHO ARE DRIVING THEM? *TR

IN APRIL I STARTED TO NOTICE A FAINT SMELL OF GASOLINE EMANATING FROM THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. THINKING NOTHING OF IT I PAID LITTLE MIND. AS THE MONTHS HAVE GONE BY I HAVE NOTICED THE SMELL HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW FUEL DRIPS FROM THE BACK OF THE FUEL TANK IN SMALL QUANTITIES AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME. RESEARCHING ON FORUMS I HAVE FOUND MUCH TALK OF THIS SAME PROBLEM AS SHOWN: HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2006/PONTIAC/G6/FUEL+SYSTEM HTTP://WWW.G6OWNERSCLUB.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2647 THIS SEEMS TO THE AVERAGE OBSERVER TO BE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE CURRENT EXPANSION CAMPAIGN 12V459000 WHICH ORIGINALLY ADDRESSED IN RECALL 09V-419 A QUICK GLANCE OVER OF THE PARTS SHOWS THAT THEY HAVE DIFFERING MODEL NUMBERS, HOWEVER HAVE AN DESIGN IN THE AREA IN WHICH THE BREAKAGE IS OCCURRING. MY PRIMARY CONCERN AS A CONSUMER IS THAT THIS IS A NON MOVING PART THAT IS NOT IN AN AREA THAT COULD BE EXPOSED TO "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR" AS SUCH IT CAN BE DEDUCED THAT THIS INCIDENT IS TIED TO A FAULTY DESIGN AND NOT USER ERROR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD CAUSED BY A DESIGN FLAW THAT THE COMPANY HAS ALREADY RECOGNIZED IS IN ERROR IN MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES AND AS SUCH THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER THE 2006 PONTIAC G6. *TR

THE CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. IT COST ME $911.53 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITH 19179818 W-MODULE KIT.

I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR,I JUST BROUGHT IT USED LAST JUNE 11, I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN SITTING IN THE CAR EITHER IN THE FRONT OR REAR THE SMELL OF GAS IS STRONG AS WELL, I HAD TO HAVE WORK DONE ON MY CAR LAST MONTH AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TOP OF MY TANK WAS WET FROM GAS AND THE SMELL WAS STRONG IN THE SHOP (SEARS) AND I SHOULD HAVE THIS LOOKED AT ASAP BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND WAS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND OVER 100 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE IN THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 BUT HAVE YET TO FIND ANY KIND OF RECALL ,WHY SHOULD THIS BE THE OWNERS EXPENSE WHEN THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE MY DAUGHTER SITS IN THE BACK AND TO KNOW GAS IS LEAKING AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR POSSIBLE MAYBE EXPLODE IS NOT A GOOD THOUGHT, ITS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEM ALL A FUEL PUMP WITH A PLASTIC ELBOW HOSE SETUP, NOW I SEEN A RECALL FOR 2007 COLBOTS AND G6 AND I THINK G5 WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WHY IS IT NOT COVERING ALL THE CARS WITH THIS ISSUE IS UNSAFE, NOW IM GOING TO HAVE TO AGAIN PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS I DONT THINK ITS RIGHT AT ALL WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TT
