FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER PARKING MY CAR I SMELL A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL FOR SEVERAL HOURS SO I CAN NOT PARK MY CAR IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE BECAUSE IT MAKES MY WHOLE HOUSE SMELL LIKE GAS. IT STARTED IN OUR OVER 100 DEGREE SUMMER WEATHER AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. IT ALSO STARTS HARD AFTER IT HAS SAT FOR SOME HOURS. I AM AFRAID IT COULD START A FIRE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR!!! I SEE THE 2009 G5 HAS A RECALL FOR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE. A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE (A CRACK) BUT I DO NOT SEE ONE FOR THE G6. IN AN ARTICLE JEFF BOYER STATES HE WANTS GM CUSTOMERS TO HAVE COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND. WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE WITH MY G6 - 4 CYLINDER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PONTIAC G6 FUEL LEAKING AND HARD TO START. I THINK THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED BY GM. IT IS REGISTERED IN NEVADA AND I READ AN ARTICLE THAT GM IS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE AND MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THE FUEL MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE FOR A LEAKING FUEL SMELL. I THINK IN 2011. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A FUEL PUMP LEAK.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY RIGHT FRONT LOWBEAM HEADLIGHT. I HAD IT CHANGED OUT AND IT STILL WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THE BODY SHOP MAN THERE TOLD ME IT MAY BE A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND FOR ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE FRONT AND TALK TO THEM. THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE JUST TO SEE IF IT IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I CAME CLOSE ON GETTING PULLED OVER. THE ONLY REASON WHY I DIDN'T IS BECAUSE I HURRIED UP AND GOT OUT OF SIGHT.
