2007 Pontiac G6 Fuel System Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Pontiac G6. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, there was a gasoline odor coming from the vehicle. The odor was also outside the vehicle. The contact became aware of a fluid leak underneath the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and a fuel leak was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13E043000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Equipment). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that parts were not purchased from the manufacturer, so the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The plastic hose that comes off the fuel pump cracked causing fuel to leak out of my car and very strong gas Vapors inside of my car. The smell of gas inside my car was so strong it literally made me sick not to mention gas leak in everywhere is never good. There was no light sensor or anything that come on to give any warnings still no lights on no check engine no nothing just fuel sausage and the smell is how I discovered it also there are many others with the Pontiac G6 GT they have the same issue which is why we are trying to report it to y'all as a safety concern

i was driving my car and stopped at a stop sign and my car shut down could not get it to turn back on at all had to get it towed to my apt then get it towed to a mechanic he said it was the starter and said it will continue to turn off untill the throttle body and map sensor are fixed also said 8f i turn my ac on it will turn off because something about the valve broke I'm not sure what that meant but i only had the car not even 3 months I spoke to the car lot who sold it to me and he told me i would have to pay for it and i don't have that kind of money i spent $3500 for the purchase of the car not so it can brake down 2 months later

Bad fuel leak , location from top of fuel cell, Definitely from the fuel pump area of the top of the tank. Can't drive because it leaks so bad that fuel is dropping on top of the exhaust pipes and I am afraid of a fire any time driving the vehicle.i really like the vehicle but can't drive it because of safety reasons. What now? I have read of other G6 Pontiacs having recalls done so why isn't my vin. Covered the same way? I am very concerned about this leak and for others with the same , considering that it is high risk for loss of life...

LEAKING GASOLINE

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ALL THE TIME, WE GOT THE IN THE SUMMER

THE PROBLEM IS MY GAS TANK. SOMETIMES THE TANK SHIFTS WHERE I CAN BARELY GET THE GAS NOZZLE INTO THE GAS TANK AS IT IS PARTIALLY BLOCKED. IT FIRST HAPPENED OVER A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BUT THEN IT GOES BACK INTO PLACE. I USED THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT TIME I NOTICED IT HAPPENED. I FIGURED THIS WAS WEAR AND TEAR, BUT I'M SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THIS. I AM SEEING COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME CAR ABOUT A STRONG GAS SMELL, WITH LEAKS, THOUGH, I HAVE NEVER NOTICED EITHER ONE. I, ALSO, SAW A 2007 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX RECALL ON A GAS TANK SEAL.

FUEL LEAKING ONTO TOP OF GAS TANK, ELBOW COMING OFF THE FUEL PUMP HAS DEVELOPED A PIN HOLE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE, CAR HARD TO START AFTER SITTING ANY LENGTH OF TIME. FUEL DRIPS ONTO EXHAUST.

2007 G6 CONVERTIBLE SMELLING FUEL UPON PARKING AND TURNING OFF CAR, COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND A FUEL LEAK NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (BOB HOWARD BUICK GMC, 13241 BROADWAY EXT, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73114, (405) 936-8800) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000.

THE CAR IS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP OR AN AREA CONNECTING TO IT. AFTER READING OF NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS. IN THE BEGINNING I NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS WHEN DRIVING AND PARKED. AT THIS POINT IT IS LEAKING IN BOTH SCENARIOS.

FUEL SMELL AT REAR OF VEHICLE NEAR GAS TANK. VEHICLE HAS 93K MILES.

STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER DRIVING THE CAR WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE OR IN A GARAGE. NO SIGNS OF FUEL LEAKS ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 65K MILES ON IT. THIS CAN POSE A DANGER SINCE MANY HOME HAVE THE HOT WATER HEATER IN THE GARAGE WITH A PILOT LIGHT. ALSO THIS FUEL ODOR IS AROUND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF THE CAR. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES OR LOSES THEIR HOME BEFORE GM WITH TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING?

AT 67,000 MILES DURING OIL CHANGE, ATTENDANT NOTICED GAS SMELL AND FOUND FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HOSE COMING OUT OF GAS TANK TO BE CRACKED AND FUEL RUNNING DOWN FUEL TANK NEXT TO MUFFLER PIPE. DANGEROUS. REMOVED FUEL TANK AND UPON INSPECTION CONFIRMED PROBLEM. HAD FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY REPLACED AT COST OF OVER $800 DOLLARS. OUTRAGEOUS.

FUEL LEAK SEEPAGE FROM TOP OF TANK/FUEL PUMP

THE CAR WAS LEAKING FUEL FUMES INTO THE GARAGE. WE WERE HAVING TO RAISE THE GARAGE DOOR FOR FEAR OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION BECAUSE THE FUMES WERE SO STRONG. THE CAR HAD A VERY HARD TIME STARTING AFTER SITTING SO THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANICS TOLD US THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE CARS.

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.

SMELT GASOLINE AROUND BACK OF CAR. HAPPENED ANYTIME...PARKED OR RUNNING. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS LEAKING ON TOP OF GAS TANK. SAID IT WOULD BE AROUND $800 TO FIX IT CAUSE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK. MY CAR NOT UNDER THE RECALL.

INCREASINGLY OVER THE LAST MONTH THERE HAS BEEN A STRONG SMELL OF GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. IT'S STRONGER WHEN STATIONARY. ONE MORNING THE SMELL HAD ENTERED OUR HOME FROM THE GARAGE WHICH IS NEXT TO MY DAUGHTERS ROOM. THE CAR HESITATES OR MAY NOT TURN OVER AT ALL WHEN TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE BUT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT WAS ALSO PURCHASED AND IS STILL REGISTERED IN FLORIDA. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD CREATED BY GM SPECIFICATIONS.
