2009 Pontiac G6 Fuel System Problems

ANOTHER COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL ODOR WHICH IS CAUSED BY POOR MATERIAL USED ON FUEL PUMP. IT IS AROUND REAR OF CAR AND INSIDE CAR, ALSO OVER MUFFLER. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO GM FOR A RECALL. HAPPENS TO 99% OF THESE VEHICLES. IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN.

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?

STRONG SMELL OF GAS AT STARTUPS. POSSIBLE FUEL LEAK LIKE OTHER GM VEHICLES. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

STARTED SMELLING LOUD GAS FUMES FOUND OUT IT IS A GAS TANK LEAK WAS TOLD A RECALL WAS ISSUED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH PONTIAC G6 SERIES DEALER GM NOT AWARE IS THERE A RECALL TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM.

SMELL OF GAS WHEN DRIVING ON DRIVER SIDE OF CAR WAS TOLD BY GMC GAS LEAK AT TOP OF TANK.

FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GARAGE.

MY 2009 PONTIAC G6 GT HAS STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE. PONTIAC HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINTS FOR SAME PROBLEM, DIFFERENT YEARS. CUSTOMERS HAVE FOUND PLASTIC HOSE ON TOP OF GAS TANK CRACKED AND LEAKING GAS ON TOP OF TANK. VERY DANGEROUS! THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS RECALL REPAIR!

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.

EVERYTIME GET GAS SMALL IS VERY BAD LIKE IT HAS GAS LEAK LIKE OTHER YEARS HAVE HAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000. *TT

STRONG FUEL SMELL AND TAKES LONGER TO TURN OVER. PLASTIC HOSE ON TOP OF FUEL PUMP CRACKED REQUIRES ENTIRE FUEL PUMP TO BE REPLACED. SIMILAR ISSUE THAT REQUIRED RECALL OF PREVIOUS YEARS.

STRONG RAW FUEL ODOR AROUND AND INSIDE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY NEAR FUEL TANK. THE ODOR GETTING STRONGER EACH TIME VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

I HAVE A 2009 PONTIAC G6 GT 4D. IT IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED TO MY GIRLFRIEND VIN#[XXX]. DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL AND TECHNICAL PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS GIVEN USE SO MUCH PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. WELL IT HAS AN AUTOMATIC LIGHT TURN ON AND I HAVE NOTES THAT THE BACK BRAKES WILL NOT TURN ON UNLESS MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO BE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN. I'VE HAD CARS COME FROM AROUND US AND TELL US TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS IT QUIT EMBARRASSING. IT ENDED UP TO WHATEVER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IT HAD CAUSED THE CAR TO HAVE ENGINE PROBLEMS TO WERE THE CAR WAS SAYING REDUCED ENGINE PROBLEMS WE HAVE SPEND LOTS OF MONEY TRYING TO GET THIS CAR RUNNING BUT IF SOMETHING WAS FIXED SOMETHING ELSE WENT WRONG I HAVE CHANGE THE COMPUTER THAT COST A LOT OF MONEY IT HAS GOT TO THE POINT NOW THAT THE CARS CADILLAC CONVERTER, AND FUEL INJECTORS HAVE GONE OUT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THE CADILLAC CONVERTER FIXED BUT THE BEST THING I COULD DO WAS GET IT HOLLOWED OUT. KNOW IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE. I HAVEN'T RAN THE CAR FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW BECAUSE THE COST OF REPAIR FOR THIS CAR IS OUT OF MY BUDGET. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HAVE A GAS ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING IT CRANKS SLIGHTLY LONGER BUT IF I JUST TURN THE KEY ON AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS IT SEEMS TO BUILD UP FUEL PRESSURE AND CRANKS RIGHT UP.

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!

NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, MOST NOTABLY IN THE TRUNK. ONLINE SEARCHES HAVE NOTED THAT IT IS LIKELY A CRACKED ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE THAT FEEDS THE FUEL LINES. ODOR HAS STEADILY INCREASED OVER THE PAST MONTH.

I HAVE A GAS ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR AND WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK . I COULD SEE WHEN IT WAS ON THE LIFT SIGNS OF LEAKAGE TO THE BOTOM OF THE TANK. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING IT CRANKS SLIGHTLY LONGER BUT IF I JUST TURN THE KEY ON AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS IT SEEMS TO BUILD UP FUEL PRESSURE AND CRANKS RIGHT UP.

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 SMELL OF FUEL WHEN CAR IS ON AND WHEN CAR IS PARKED. I WAS TOLD FUEL TANK HAS A LEAK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
