| Around june 2012 i started smelling fuel when i parked the car in the garage. i thought i may have over filled. the problem persisted and i took the car into a chevrolet dealership for repair. the plastic line from the fuel pump had cracked causing the leak of fuel. i checked for a recall and found there was one but the maxx was not on the list. i do believe this recall included a pontiac with the same fuel pump. since i have a safety issue due to the arizona heat in phoenix the maxx should be included due to the mileage and the year. thanks *tr | |||

| I started to smell gas after parking my car in garage about one month ago. changed fuel cap, didn't work. the gas smell became more and more strong after few weeks. did some search and found it's a common problem of fuel pump leak in 2004-2006 chevy malibu maxx. the high pressure line breaks and the owners have to replace the fuel pump completely, which costs more than $600. there was a recall of fuel pump but not for the original one. gm/chevy should recall the faulty fuel pump, it's very dangerous since it's easy to catch fire and very bad for the environment!!! | |||

| A fuel smell/odor began permeating the vehicle and the immediate area around it. the next day, vehicle began requiring two cranks to get started. after troubleshooting, it was determined that there was a fuel leak, and it was coming from the fuel pump. the part was replaced, and the fuel pump had a cracked plastic portion which the mechanic said he had never seen happen before. this kind of thing must have been the result of a defect within the formation of that plastic portion of the fuel pump. *tr | |||
