Reported on Jan 13, 2012
| I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR,I JUST BROUGHT IT USED LAST JUNE 11, I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN SITTING IN THE CAR EITHER IN THE FRONT OR REAR THE SMELL OF GAS IS STRONG AS WELL, I HAD TO HAVE WORK DONE ON MY CAR LAST MONTH AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TOP OF MY TANK WAS WET FROM GAS AND THE SMELL WAS STRONG IN THE SHOP (SEARS) AND I SHOULD HAVE THIS LOOKED AT ASAP BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND WAS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND OVER 100 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE IN THE 2006 PONTIAC G6 BUT HAVE YET TO FIND ANY KIND OF RECALL ,WHY SHOULD THIS BE THE OWNERS EXPENSE WHEN THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE MY DAUGHTER SITS IN THE BACK AND TO KNOW GAS IS LEAKING AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR POSSIBLE MAYBE EXPLODE IS NOT A GOOD THOUGHT, ITS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEM ALL A FUEL PUMP WITH A PLASTIC ELBOW HOSE SETUP, NOW I SEEN A RECALL FOR 2007 COLBOTS AND G6 AND I THINK G5 WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WHY IS IT NOT COVERING ALL THE CARS WITH THIS ISSUE IS UNSAFE, NOW IM GOING TO HAVE TO AGAIN PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SOMETHING DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS I DONT THINK ITS RIGHT AT ALL WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TT | |
