Pontiac G5 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Nov 01, 2012
Reported on Nov 01, 2012
| THE VEHICLE STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS, BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY PUDDLES OR LEAKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED THERE WAS A LEAK NEAR THE FUEL PUMP, AND HAD TO REPLACE THE PART RIGHT AWAY DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS VEHICLE DID HAVE A RECALL IN A FEW STATES NEARBY FOR A FAULTY RETURN PORT ON THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FUEL LEAK. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE AND/OR INJURY, I FEEL ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIONS ARE WARRANTED INTO VEHICLES LOCATED IN OTHER STATES. *TR | |
