Pontiac G5 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Feb 09, 2013
Reported on Feb 09, 2013
| WE SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AFTER PARKING THE CAR. WE CONTINUED RUNNING ERRANDS (STOP AND GO DRIVING) AND THE SMELL CONTINUED. WE THEN PARKED THE CAR UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. UPON TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC, HE INFORMED US THAT THE PLASTIC RETURN LINE FROM THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/FUEL PUMP WAS SEVERELY CRACKED AND LEAKING GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK UNDERNEATH THE CAR. HE REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE SENDING UNIT/PUMP WITH A NEW UNIT FROM GM. HE STATED SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BEFORE THE REPAIR DUE TO THE LEAKAGE OF RAW GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE TANK AROUND MANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. *TR | |
