FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL EMITTING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF IF IT IS TURNED ON OR OFF. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKAGE BUT THE ODOR IS STRONG ENOUGH TO NOTICE ANYWHERE IN A 5 FOOT RADIUS OF THE VEHICLE. MANY SIMILAR REPORTS REFERENCE A HAIRLINE CRACK THAT FORMS OVER TIME IN THE PLASTIC ELBOW CONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP ABOVE THE GAS TANK. THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT COSTS APPEAR TO BE BETWEEN $700 AND $900 AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 47,000 MILES. THIS ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING AS I CANNOT PARK THE CAR IN MY GARAGE FOR FEAR OF THE GAS SMELL BUILDING UP. IT SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ENOUGH ISSUE IN THE PONTIAC G6 THAT GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANGEROUS FLAW IN THEIR FUEL PUMP MODULE.
