NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF CAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS. FINALLY TOOK CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I'VE SEEN ON SEVERAL WEBSITES THAT THE PONTIAC G5 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE BEING RECALLED. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT THE PONTIAC G6. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN MY GARAGE THE ODOR WAS QUITE STRONG AND ALSO A DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY. THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AS WELL AS MY HOUSE.
THE SMELL OF STRONG GAS IN THE CAR . AS I DRIVE THE CAR THE SMELL OF GAS GET STRONGER AND STRONGER ON THE INSIDE AND WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR ON THE OUTSIDE I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THEY CAN'T FIND OUT WHERE THIS STRONG SMELL OF GAS IS COMING FROM AND THIS PRESENTS A GREAT DANGER AND PROBLEM
FUEL LEAKING FROM GAS TANK AREA AND SHOWING P0446 CODE. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL IN MY MODEL YEAR RANGE BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE RECALL. I FEEL MY ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE FUEL LINE ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. THERE IS A DISTINCT GAS SMELL FROM THE CAR AND OBD CODE P0446. THIS IS A HAZARD TO MY HEALTH. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FUEL LEAK. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HEARD OF THIS ON A GM CAR.
STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, NOW I SMELL IT WHETHER I AM DRIVING OR STOPPED. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF FUEL TANK. THEY SAID IT WAS EITHER THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE CRACKED ON THE FUEL PUMP OR THE MODULE. THEY SAID THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 G6. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. GM NEEDS A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. GM HAS HAD RECALLS ON PRIOR YEARS OF THE G6 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

2008 PONTIAC G6. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR. FUEL MODULE ASSEMBLY AND DEFECTIVE O-RING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JS
FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY PORT DEVELOPED A CRACK, RESULTING IN FUEL LEAKING FROM THE AREA. A VERY STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS NOTICED WHEN BEING DRIVEN OR PARKED, WITH SLIGHT DRIPS SOMETIMES NOTICED ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE ODOR WAS SO STRONG THAT IT WAS EVEN NOTICEABLE IN THE LIVING AREAS FROM SIMPLY ENTERING AND LEAVING THE GARAGE. IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, A VEHICLE FIRE COULD HAVE OCCURRED, A SERIOUS CONCERN. MY LOCAL MECHANIC INSPECTED AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, AND BELIEVED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE PART OF A PONTIAC RECALL ON SIMILAR COBALT, G5, ION VEHICLES, THAT THEY'VE SEEN THE PROBLEM ON BEFORE, BUT OUR VIN DOES NOT REGISTER AS A RECALLED VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.
MY 2008 PONTIAC G6 CONVERTIBLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. I HAD THE CAR LIFTED UP ON LIFTS AT THE DEALERSHIP I WORK AT AND SAW THAT THERE WAS FUEL ALL AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL LINE IS LEAKING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE SECOND ATTEMPT BUILDS UP ENOUGH FUEL PRESSURE FOR A NORMAL START. THE FUEL ODOR HAS GOTTEN SO BAD INSIDE THE CABIN THAT I HAVE TO KEEP THE WINDOWS CRACKED AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING A HEADACHE. I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LITERALLY WATCH THE FUEL NEEDLE DROP. GM NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED IN A FIRE!
