FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

 My wife noticed a gasoline smell in the car and after searching for problem found fuel tank is leaking from the top of tank and seeping down onto the frame and other areas. i found that 2007 models were recalled in 2009 for this problem but not newer models.

 Jerry drummond 38 alger dr. rochester, ny 14624 585 426-7388 on or about 8:50 p.m. on saturday november 28, 2010, my wife bonnie drummond of 38 alger dr. rochester, ny 14624 585 426-7388, was approaching a parking space in front of the dollar tree in south towns plaza, henrietta, ny at approximately 5 mph, coasting to a stop with her feet on neither the gas nor brake pedal, when our 2009 pontiac g5 ny license evg8665, lurched out of control, jumped over the median curb in front of the parking space, so fast that the car became momentarily air born, and struck the concrete base of what was once either a stop sign or lamp post in the south towns parking lot. had it not been for the median and the concrete pillar between the parking space and the dollar tree store front, the gm pontiac g5 would have plowed through the dollar tree store front full of christmas shoppers on the day after black friday, perhaps killing my wife and many, many dollar tree christmas shoppers. the resulting unavoidable accident caused significant damage to the driver's side door, caving it in almost a foot, and denting the driver's side rear quarter panel. this car has a 2.2 litre, 155 horse power engine, you cannot intentionally step on the accelerator so hard, in such a short distance, that it will jump a median curb, become air born, and strike a concrete pillar with such force that it will cave in the driver's side door, causing such damage. gm inspected the vehicle and blamed the sudden catastrophic acceleration on the car's after market floor mats. gm refuses to pay for the damage to the car, still under warranty, and refuses to consider that this may be one of the thousands of auto industry wide incidents of intermittent problems with the electronic control modules in the vehicle. gm claims to have run sufficient tests on the car to determine that the ecm is wholly safe and without problems.
