Strong fuel smell from rear of Pontiac G6 near fuel tank. This is a common problem due to a cracked elbow on top of the fuel pump. This issue is happening among all G6 models from 05 to 09. This issue should be recalled as it is dangerous to the drivers, passengers or anyone that comes within 3 ft of Pontiacs that have this issue. Fuel odor can be smelt from further than 3ft that can damage to lungs, throat and multiple other health hazards. The fumes can reach even further witch is easily ignited if someone were to walk by with a cigarette This issue is common in 75% of Pontiac G6's on the road This defective part should be placed on recall and should definitely be looked into before someone loses their lives over an easily preventable occurrence from happening. Thank you for your time and please look into this issue before it's to late.

Catalytic converter needed replacing with less than 125, 000 miles on engine. Could not afford to replace so could not get state inspection to pass. Has been sitting and not driven since March 2019. Between Dec 2018 and March 2019, both front and rear brakes failed. Car driver's door and convertible top stopped working. Needs approx. $3000 to fix which I don't have but still paying $261./ monthly payments and cannot drive. Finance company says they will not let me do voluntary repo. I am retired on fixed income. Any advice would be appreciated. Cannot even sell because I owe $7000 on it and not worth half that. What can you do with a car that only sits in driveway?

After parking my car I smell a very strong gas smell for several hours so I can not park my car in my attached garage because it makes my whole house smell like gas. It started in our over 100 degree summer weather and seems to be getting worse every day. It also starts hard after it has sat for some hours. I am afraid it could start a fire. I do not feel safe driving my car!!! I see the 2009 G5 has a recall for what sounds like the same issue. A problem with the fuel pump module (a crack) but I do not see one for the G6. In an article jeff boyer states he wants GM customers to have complete peace of mind. Which I would like to have with my G6 - 4 cylinder.

My vehicle exhibits the exact description of the faulty ggas tank leak covering the G6 up to 2008 but mine is a 2009. It is unacceptable to not cover every year that has this problem. The gas leaks right onto the muffler which is hot and can be deadly in my opinion. We are afraid to drive the car since I took a good look at how bad the leak actually is. Pontiac has sold a defective product to unsuspecting buyers which could easily cause death if the gasoline igignitesr the fumes falling directly on the hot muffler cause an explosion.I took several photos showing the extent of the leak. Pontiac customer support said my car is not covered because it was built in a plant that fixed the leak issue already. When I asked the rep if it was fixed already ehy was it leaking he had no answer. Only stated that my car was not covered and I had to pay for the repairs myself out of pocket. How are they allowed to put the public at grave risk and not be respinsible for fixing their defective product" this issue serms very serious to me snd I just pray nobody gets bloen up.is there anything else I can do" unbelievable... P.S. car leaks anytime it is on and gas lines are pressurized. In the photos you can see that the muffler is bathed with gasoline which can easily cause a fire or explosion.

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!
