Pontiac G6 Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Apr 04, 2013
Reported on Apr 04, 2013
| WE FIRST STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AFTER ADDING GAS TO THE G6 BACK IN APRIL. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST RESIDUAL FUMES FROM HAVING RECENTLY ADDING GAS. AFTER THIS WE NOTICED THE SMELL ALL THE TIME WHETHER WE WERE ADDING GAS OR NOT. WE KNOW THAT THE GAS IS LEAKING OUT BECAUSE WE CAN PUT GAS IN THE CAR, THE MESSAGE WILL SHOW 100 MILES TO EMPTY, DRIVE 2-3 MILES AND IT DROPS DOWN TO 75 MILES TO EMPTY. THIS ISSUE HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE AND WE ARE CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY WHEN IN THE VEHICLE. WE CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR A LEAKING FUEL PUMP ON THE G5 MODEL, THE 2007 G6, AND SEVERAL OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE 2006 G6. IN OUR INTERNET SEARCH WE HAVE FOUND A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OTHER 2006 G6 OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND RECEIVING THE SAME ANSWER FROM THE DEALERSHIP. A VEHICLE THAT IS LEAKING GAS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. GM NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE 2006 G6 IN THE RECALL TO PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE. *TR | |
