| 2007 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE..ON 1/18/2011 I GOT IN MY CAR WENT TO THE STORE. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE MY VEHICLE. NEXT DAY I STARTED CAR AND BACKED IT OUT SMELLED STRONGER GAS SMELL. PULLED CAR BACK IN GARAGE. CAR WAS TOWED TO GM DEALER. GM DEALER STATED "NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE" PAID $200 GOT CAR BACK STILL WREAKS OF STRONG GAS SMELL UPON STARTING (INSIDE THE VEHICLE). I HAVE CONTACTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND GM. I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH GETTING THIS VEHICLE REPAIR. BASICALLY THE TWO WARRANTIES AREN'T BEING USED BECAUSE THE GM DEALERS DON'T WANT TO WAIT ON THEIR MONEY AND OTHER PONTIAC G-5'S HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM (SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL) THE FUEL MODULE AND FUEL PUMP ARE TO BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE I AM GETTING CONFLICTING STATEMENTS ON "MY CAR NOT BEING ON RECALL" AND FINDINGS WHERE THERE IS A RECALL. I AM CONSIDERING GIVING THE CAR BACK AND REQUESTING A FULL REFUND IF THEY ARE NOT BACKING THEIR WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS CAR HAS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES AND I CANNOT DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS A FIRE HAZARD/EXPLOSION RISK. I WAS ALWAYS TOLD IF YOU SMELL GAS DON'T DRIVE A VEHICLE. I'M STARTING TO THINK WHEN THEY SOLD THE VEHICLE THEY KNEW THERE WAS SAFETY ISSUES AS I WAS FORCED INTO GAP INSURANCE AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. WHAT GOOD DID IT DO TO HAVE ALL THESE PROTECTIONS IF NONE OF THEM ARE GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED. THE FIRST THING I DID AFTER SMELLING FUEL WAS LOOK UP ON RECALL INFORMATION.. VEHICLES ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO AND ALABAMA WERE ON RECALL GM STATED "YOUR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED" WHY I AM HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE.? THE RECALL STATES THE FUEL MODULE MAY CRACK AND LEAK GAS WHICH MAY RESULT IN FIRE/EXPLOSION. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD RECALL I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW. FIRST DOOR LOCKS,THEN STEERING PROBLEM, NOW FUEL LEAK. |
