Pontiac G5 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Jan 27, 2013
Reported on Jan 27, 2013
| ENGINE WOULD NOT START CLEANLY. WHEN IT DID THERE WAS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND YOU COULD SEE GAS LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND. AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE FUEL ASSEMBLY FOR A COST OF $889.06. MECHANIC SAID HE HAD PERFORMED THE SAME REPAIR TO SEVERAL OTHER GM VEHICLES. AFTER CHECKING THE WEB, I FOUND MANY OTHER G5 OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SAME PROBLEMS. THERE IS A REPAIR BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS CAR, BUT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO NOTIFY ME ABOUT A RECALL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR | |
