Pontiac G6 Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Sept 06, 2013
Reported on Sept 06, 2013
| THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF IT THAT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN NEAR THE CAR. VEHICLE JUST RECENTLY WAS INSPECTED FOR EMISSIONS AND PASSED THE CALIFORNIA SMOG CHECK. THE SMOG CHECK TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE INSPECTED FURTHER. I FOUND ONLINE THAT OTHER PONTIAC G6 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM PONTIAC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IF THEY WILL PAY FOR REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP GILROY CADILLAC CHEVROLET HAS ORDERED PART AND IS GOING TO REPAIR AND INDICATED COST OF >$1,100.00 THEY SAID THAT A PLASTIC ELBOW FITTING ON OUTSIDE OF FUEL TANK IS CRACKED AND SPRAYING GASOLINE ON TOP OF FUEL TANK AND THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FUEL PUMP IS FUNCTIONING AND CAR RUNS FINE, WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT IT IS A FIRE HAZARD! *TR | |
