Car started smelling of gas. Then garage smelled of gas. Then the fuel economy became inaccurate. Then gas started dripping from under car. Then gas started streaming under car. Then told GM dealer and was told there would be no remedy until GM recalls take effect. Now, 8 months later no repair offered. Car is unsafe and leaves me stranded regularly as it pours gas out of car. I will take car back to dealer and expect immediate repair.

There is a huge leak in my gas line. I see that this was a defect in the older models of the G5 and they were recalled for it, but there is no recall for my year model and I am having the same kind of problem as stated in those older model recalls for the gas line. I am afraid to drive the vehicle and I am having a hard time getting it serviced, not at my expense because of this defect. It started after I had taken my vehicle to get two recall items done on it recently (a week ago). I am not saying that this is the cause, but I had never had a problem with this vehicle other than this time. I would like someone to check into there being a potential fire hazard in the fuel line of the newer model 2009 Pontiac G5's as well.
