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!! www.carsafetyreference.com/Pontiac-G6-2007/fuel-system/ www.G6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?T=8241 www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2007/Pontiac/G6/fuel+system.

In April I started to notice a faint smell of gasoline emanating from the rear of my vehicle. Thinking nothing of it I paid little mind. As the months have gone by I have noticed the smell has gotten worse and now fuel drips from the back of the fuel tank in small quantities after being driven for even a small amount of time. Researching on forums I have found much talk of this same problem as shown: www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2006/Pontiac/G6/fuel+system www.G6ownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?T=2647 this seems to the average observer to be directly linked to the current expansion campaign 12V459000 which originally addressed in recall 09V-419 a quick glance over of the parts shows that they have differing model numbers, however have an design in the area in which the breakage is occurring. My primary concern as a consumer is that this is a non moving part that is not in an area that could be exposed to "normal wear and tear" as such it can be deduced that this incident is tied to a faulty design and not user error. This is a safety hazard caused by a design flaw that the company has already recognized is in error in multiple other vehicles and as such the recall should be expanded to cover the 2006 Pontiac G6.

Strong smell of gas coming from car. Check engine light came on. Notice a leak under car. Took to dealership for repair. Dealership repalced fuel pump. The 2006 Pontiac G6 should be included in the current recall: NHTSA campaign id# : 12V459000 GM campaign #: 12190 expansion of recall 09V-419.

2006 Pontiac G6. Consumer states problem with fuel assembly the consumer stated the engine light illuminated and she could smell gasoline coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic. An inspection revealed, the fuel pump assembly needed to be replaced, as it was leaking from the top portion of the assembly onto the muffler.

Engine light came on, stayed on, ran rough-took it to the dealer (27,245 mi) & they replaced the fuel pump module. They said it was a sensor but it was better to replace the entire module.
