FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FROM THE CAR AFTER DRIVING. SUSPECT THE FUEL HOSE OR FITTING FROM THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR IS RIGHT NEXT TO IT AND IT COULD IGNITE THE GASOLINE!

STEERING
AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY CAR RADIOS SCREEN DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING". BEFORE THE STEERING WENT OUT, THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE I WAS PARKED. I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON, AND THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING AGAIN ONLY TO TURN OFF, ONCE AGAIN, WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND I MEAN EVERYTHING... MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND IT'S NOT FIXED YET... THE MECHANIC SAID THAT MY CAR JUST LOST IT'S MEMORY AND HE HAS TRIED TO RESET THE MEMORY BUT HE HAS NOT HAD ANY LUCK WITH IT. I WISH I NEVER WOULD HAVE GOT THIS CAR BECAUSE WHEN I HAD THE FIRST RECALL FIXED... IT IS LIKE NOW ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER HAS GONE WRONG AND MORE RECALLS. I WAS VERY SCARED WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55MPH AND THE CAR JUST QUIT.... IT WAS LIKE THE CAR JUST FROZE AND THE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD JUST KEPT ON COMING I WAS VERY LUCKY AND BLESSED THAT NO ONE HIT ME.... I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WHEN I BUY A CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER..... IT WILL NOT BE A G6 !!!!!

THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING, BUT A DANGEROUS HEADACHE. I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKE FELL OFF.. GLAD NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING. COULD NOT STOP.. THE A WEEK LATER I AM DRIVING AND THE TIRE BLEW. LAST WEEKEND DRIVING AND LOST ALL POWER. NOT ONLY DID WE GET LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR THE SERPENTINE BELT WAS SHRIVELED IN PIECES. IT WAS HORRIBLE. TELL THE DEALER CAUSE I'M MAKING PAYMENTS AND THEY ACT AS IF THE COULD CARELESS.. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN INSPECTED. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THE BACK ACCEL IS GOING TO CRASH IN AND THE ELECTRICAL IS BAD IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. SCARE TO DRIVE IT.

STEERING
I HAVE HAD THE NECESSARY EPS RECALL WORK DONE ON MY G6 AND CONTINUE TO HAVE POWER STEERING ISSUES. THE DEALER STATED THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND THAT MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY ALTHOUGH THERE ARE OTHER MANUFACTURE DATES THAT DO. I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE FOR MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED 11/2007?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING ENGINE OIL AND GAS FROM THE BEGINNING AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE, FEEDBACK. ALL I HAVE BEEN GIVEN WAS A CONSTANT REPAIR LIST MOST OF WICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME FROM THE BEGINNING THAT MY ENGINE IS LEAKING POSSIBLE GASKETS AND LEAK SOMEWHERE IN FUEL PUMP. RHODES AUTO SALES AS WELL AS GM HAS GIVEN ME A RUN FOR MY LIFE. UNTIL RECENTLY HAVE A FRIEND GAVE ME A CARFAX ON THIS CAR THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD AND BEING TOLD HOW DANGEROUS IT'S BEEN FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS CAR. NOT SURE OF THE EXACT PURCHASE DATE BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, MOST NOTABLY IN THE TRUNK. ONLINE SEARCHES HAVE NOTED THAT IT IS LIKELY A CRACKED ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE THAT FEEDS THE FUEL LINES. ODOR HAS STEADILY INCREASED OVER THE PAST MONTH.
