Pontiac G5 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | May 14, 2012
Reported on May 14, 2012
| MY PONTIAC G5 2007 TOOK SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN OVER AND START. WE'VE NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL AND UPON LOOKING UNDER THE CAR WE ARE HAVING A GAS LEAK. THE GAS ISN'T DRIPPING DOWN HOWEVER MORE LIKE A CONDENSATION ALL OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAS TANK. I NOTICED THEY HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V419000) AND (GM RECALL NO. 090226), HOWEVER GM IS NOT CONSIDERING THIS AS A RECALL. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT STATES IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T CORRECT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE! I FOR ONE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR LET ALONE MY WIFE (ESPECIALLY BEING HER CAR). THE ISSUE STATED IN THE RECALL IS (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP) SO I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED FOR THIS ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE RECALL DEALS WITH MY CAR. *TT | |
