“I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, OWNER OF A 2006 PONTIAC G6, I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, AND REAR WHEEL-WELL, ALSO WOULD NOT START ON FIRST ATTEMPT, STARTS ON SECOND ATTEMPT . LOOKED ONLINE FOUND A RECALL ON 2007 PONTIAC G5 REGARDING THIS ISSUE, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V41900, IN HOT WEATHER STATES WITH OTHER GM VEHICLES , OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD ADDRESS IT, IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEN NUMEROUS POST AND A HIGH FAILURE RATE OF A PLASTIC FITTING ON THE FUEL PUMP. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO GM AS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AND A RECALL IN PLACE TO SAVE LIVES!!

“FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY IS CRACKED AND LEAKING GASOLINE REGARDLESS OF SPEED. GASOLINE RUNS DOWN TANK NEAR EXHAUST SYSTEM. PUMP IS NOT IN AN AREA OF THE CAR WHERE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IS EXPECTED. *TR”
