| A hairline crack developed in the plastic elbow connecting the integral fuel pump/gas tank fuel lines to the engine. this elbow connects a fuel line which is pressurized both with the vehicle operating (about 60 psi) and after the car has been turned off as the fuel system bleeds this operating pressure. the pressure forcibly ejects highly flammable gasoline liquid and vapor into the area immediately above extremely hot exhaust pipes. when garaged, these vapors completely fill the structure which houses a gas water heater and furnace with running pilot lights. no vehicle annunciation (e.g., check engine light), performance degradation (e.g., hard starts), or visible indicators alert the owner to this potentially catastrophic condition. the fuel smell is initially mistaken for normal exhaust fumes after parked until the crack enlarges causing the gas smell to become intolerable. the potential exists for death and destruction of both the vehicle and garage and home in which it is kept because of the insidious nature of this problem. | |||

| My passesnger side low beams were burning out, i took my vehicle to the dealer in dec (2010), one year later, it's back. i noticed the connection was completely shorted and burnt. prob won't last much longer. this past aug (2011) my fuel pump started leaking fuel, it was the assembly which had a hairline fracture which was unrepairable, had to replace the complete assembly for $350. for the last couple years my steering does a popping sound and feel when i make slow sharp turns (as in u-turns). the dealer temporary fixed it once, but it retured before i could even forget about it. their solution was greasing the sterring joint. my ac/heating fan was making a ticking sound while it was on a couple years back (around nov 2009), the dealer fixed the ticking but it returned last year. though it's not as loud or annoying as before i've learned to tune it out, not too fun for my passengers though. | |||

| My 2007 pontiac g6 is leaking fuel from top side of fuel tank. i presume that the fuel line or pump is leaking because the vehicle does not start on first ignition cycle. the second cycle of the ignition key builds enough fuel pressure to assure a normal start. fuel residue can be seen all around bottom of fuel tank and on the exhaust pipe. | |||

| I have had my pontiac 2007 g6 gt for 2 years & have been very happy with it . just 2 days ago i started smelling gasoline fumes , but couldn't see any sign of a leak so i took it to my goodyear mechanic & they found a gas leak which would have me replace my whole fuel pump . this problem i guess is common with this type car . my mechanic said he just replaced 2 fuel pumps same model a week ago. i called the dealership to get a estimate on how much & they said that it was still under warranty up to 170,000 miles i have only 80,000 . so i was very happy. still love my car | |||

| On my 2007 pontiac g6, i had noticed a strong smell of gas during and after operation. this smell would fill the car and my garage when parked. after doing some reading i found that this is common problem with pontiac g6. a plastic line attached to the fuel sending unit/ pump cracks or breaks and leaks fuel ontop of the gas tank and the exhaust lines at the rear of the vehicle. this is a inhalation hazard and fire hazard to any one using the vehicle. when i lowered the gas tank on my car the line was completely broken. the onl way to fix this is to replace the entire fuel pump assembly. at $281 | |||
