NHTSA Complaint #10825247 — 2006 PONTIAC G6

I HAVE A 06 G6 2.4L 4CYL AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN GIVING OFF A STRONG FUEL SMELL. I SMELL IT WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS UNDER THE HOOD AND CAR AND CANNOT FIND ANY. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO CRANK THE CAR IT DOESN'T START UNTIL MY SECOND ATTEMPT. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT MY CAR AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE WORRIED WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND HIS CAR SEAT IS LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER REAR. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY AS WELL AS MINE. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY MY CAR MAY BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE WE'RE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT A RED LIGHT, AT THE MALL, ETC. PUTTING NOT ONLY OUR LIVES AT RISK, BUT ALSO THE LIVES OF OTHERS NEARBY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR SCANNER FOR FREE. THEY GAVE ME THIS CODE - P0454 FUEL TANK PRESSURE (FTP) SENSOR INTERMITTENT.
