Pontiac G6 Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | July 11, 2012
Reported on July 11, 2012
| IN JUNE OF 2012, THE VEHICLE DID NOT START PROPERLY, IT HAD A LONG CRANK. THEN I STARTED NOTICING A FUEL SMELL IN MY GARAGE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ODOR GOT WORSE AND WAS APPARENT WHEN JUST SITTING. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, DUE THE STRONG ODOR. THE GAS TANK WAS DROPPED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE PLASTIC PART ON THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED. THE EXACT REPLACEMENT PART WAS UNAVAILBLE AT THIS TIME; DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE PART. SO THE DEALERSHIP SOLD MY MECHANIC A MORE EXPENSIVE PUMP, ONE THAT INCLUDED REPAIR FOR THE ODOMETER. AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME.THE TOTAL COST WAS $988.88. I HAVE THE CRACKED FUEL PUMP IN MY GARAGE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM TO NO AVAIL. *TR | |
