2008 Pontiac G5 owner complaints

After noticing a gasoline smell and a puddle collecting underneath my vehicle while it was in park, I took it to the dealer to see what was going on with my vehicle. The dealership then informed me that my vehicle was seriously leaking fuel. They told me that the fuel line from the tank to the engine was completely rusted through. The price to replace this part is completely ridiculous and I am highly upset that no one has told me that this part was starting to rust for the last year. My car is only 9 years old and doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it. This is a highly unsafe issue that requires the company to do a recall on because no one should be driving their vehicle when there is a fuel leak!!!! *js

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 12v459000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,000.

Vehicle started smelling with heavy gas fumes both inside and outside. It was so bad you couldn't drive the car. Checked all common areas for leaks, nothing would show on the ground and no other areas showed any signs of leakage. Took the car to the local dealership and they found that the gas smell was coming from the fuel pump module located on top of the gas tank between the tank and the floor in the back seat. They explained to me that the module was defective as it is located in such a confined place that nothing could have got up there to break the plastic 90% line coupler. So to repair it they had to replace the entire fuel pump module as the little 50 cent piece of plastic was attached and could not just replace it. The repair cost me a total of $691.03 for a small piece of plasti

Fuel line rusted out causing fuel leakage. The bracket that holds fuel lines also retains salt and brine deposits and is of poor design causing fuel lines to rust through one spot only. It is located a foot in front of rear driver side tire underneath. About a inch away from exhaust. Fuel pours out a steady drop and puddles underneath hot exhaust. This is not the fuel pump recall problem already listed. Repair costs $951.87 at dealership. Looking underneath car all the line was rust free except this fuel bracket area. This is very dangerous to have fuel leaking on to pavement and under hot exhaust. As gas evaporates its fumes could start a fire. A person may drive for many miles without noticing the fuel leaking. The gas fumes enter the inside of car. If a person smokes this could also cau

Noticed a fuel smell in the car, then had trouble starting the car. After a few days there was a puddle of liquid under my car as I left the grocery store. Fuel smell was extremely strong. Got home and looked under car and found a fuel hose leaking gas. Took into a mechanic who found the whole fuel line to be rotted! Its a 7 year old car with slightly over 100,000 miles on it. Mechanic said he has never seen anything like this and can't believe their isn't a recall issued on this. This is very unsafe and could have seriously harmed myself and my children had a fire started.

My check engine light was on. I took it to find out why it was on and was told that it was probably because of the gas cap not being tight enough. About 3 days later, I find a puddle of gasoline underneath my car. It was dripping from the tank. Then, I took it in to a nearby shop and they called me this morning and told me that the seal on my gas tank is bad. So, I'm having to pay to get the whole gas tank replaced. I looked up recalls, and I notice that they had this problem with the 2007 model of my vehicle (one year older than my car). *tr
