I noticed a strong gas smell while the vehicle was off and while driving. I took it to a repair shop and they said I have a gas leak. I see that there was a recall for gas leaks in warm weather states for a gas leak issue. I live in colorado and was never notified of the issue. I think it may be related to the recall. *tr

The vehicle started smelling like gas, but I didn't notice any puddles or leaking. I took the vehicle to a mechanic who confirmed there was a leak near the fuel pump, and had to replace the part right away due to the potential fire hazard. After doing some research, it appears this vehicle did have a recall in a few states nearby for a faulty return port on the fuel pump, which could cause a fuel leak. Based on this information, and the potential for fire and/or injury, I feel additional investigations are warranted into vehicles located in other states. *tr

I took my car to the dealer for fuel leaks and they replaced the recall items( fuel pump) on the fuel system. I drove home and filled it up to find gallons of gasoline pouring down my driveway. Dropped it off at the dealer after hours so the could enjoy the gas leak. Called them to learn that the tank is also cracked near the fill area. They didn't find this during the original fix? Very luck not to have had a major fire and from research there are many people having the same issue with the gas tank being cracked when the fuel pump delivery recall is done. The tanks are cracked too. Should have been part of the recall. *tr

My car gradually began smelling like gasoline at the beginning of november. I thought it was the gas cap, replaced it, and it has not gone away and only become stronger smelling whether the car is in park or driving on the road. It also is hard to start after sitting for a few hours, it will not crank over on the 1st attempt anymore. I have researched on here, and found there was a recall and 1000s of others are having the same problem as me. However, because I am in ohio and not part of the "recall" states, my VIN is not part of the recall and it is a major concern. I have called Pontiac and the best advice they gave me is to send it to a certified gm dealer. After reading posts on here, it seems that they are charging the consumer 500+ for a new fuel pump and that is ridiculous since it

Pontiac g5 2007 VIN [xxx] after steering wheel recall repair in september 2010 at bill stasek, wheeling, il I started to have knocking noise from the steering wheel at low speeds on rough . After that I went to ocean Cadillac, bal harbor, fl to check the problem-the answer was that "probably" the strut needs to be replaced for about $600-$800. I said no. I contacted Pontiac.com customer service. They explained that I need to go to another dealership-lehman Buick GMC, miami, fl to check with them. The service manager responded that this is a "normal knocking noise" from the steering wheel for Pontiac g5 at all!!! The problem is that noise started after the recall service in september 2010. So typical or normal this is about my safety. The car is about 34000 miles. I request to repair my

low speed the steering wheel locks up and when turning left the light will dim as it locks

Power steering problem in Pontiac g5 - drives normal down the highway, then all of a sudden the car starts shaking violently (steering wheel starts shaking back and forth). *tr

2007 g5 auto. Trans was having problems shifting between gears. Rpms jumped around and the engine/ trans "rev". It was seen by a dealer, some electronic problem with the trans. Was fixed. It's been 6 months and I'm seeing the problem again. (this car only has 50,000miles on it now.) I see that others are having this problem, it needs attention. *tr

My vehicle was one in the ignition switch recall. However, since I bought the vehicle ever so often and more and more the gauges will go crazy all lights (check engine, power steering, antitheft, etc) will all go on at once! This happens as I am driving it and without warning (on the highway, or just driving in the city). The car acts as if I am pressing the gas and brakes at the same time and I can't steer the car! This needs to become a recall as I know of numerous other cars this is happening to. Just look online! They can never find anything when I take it in and someone will end up dying if this doesn't get resolved. *tr

2007 Pontiac g5. Consumer writes in regards to headlight assembly failure(overheating). *tgw the consumer stated the headlight burned out. She assumed it would be an easy replacement of the bulb. However, the dealer informed her the headlight assembly melted, which in turn caused the light to no longer work. *jb

I am complaining about the control arm bushings popping out. We purchased two brand new vehicles, both g5s on the same day. Both vehicles have control arm bushing problems! The one vehicle was still under warranty and the control bushings were replaced by the dealership. This vehicle was out of warranty at that time and the dealership would only replace them at our cost. I'm sure after reading online complaints that these vehicles have major issues with control arm bushings. I would probably understand if it were one vehicle, but to happen to both brand new vehicles? There is a problem!
