| The smell of gas out of the blue. at first we thought it was topping off the gas, so we stopped, then just some times it will just smell when you start the vehicle. also, we have had the car barely oer a year and both the window regulators in the front doors are inoperatbale and the one part we need is not covered by the warranty and will cost us a lilttle over 500.00 a per window. i | |||

| There was a recall on my 2005 pontiac grand am ( pressure regulator) i didn't know that there was a recall on the part until the company that fix it told me that it was a recall part. i went on the internet and found the information about it. when i start contacting the dealership about reimbursing me i was given the run around. from what i gather you'll regulates the safety of a vehicle on the road, especially when the defect part could have caused a fire. it's not fair to me that the pontiac dealership has given me the run around . i don;t know what you can do to help me. i'm only asking them to reimburse me of $223.65. *tr | |||
