NHTSA Complaint #11217095 — 2008 PONTIAC G5

MY 2008 G5 HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND SAW THAT 2008 G5'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL LEAK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP MODULE BUT ONLY IN HOTTER STATES. I'M IN SC AND WE CERTAINLY SHOULD QUALIFY AS A HOTTER STATE WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 90'S IN THE SPRING. GM RECALLED THE '06 AND '07 G5'S IN SC FOR FUEL LEAKS SO THEY SHOULD RECALL THE '08 MODEL TOO SINCE IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM (RECALL 09V-419) MY CAR HAS ONLY 31,903 MILES ON IT SO I SHOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING AN ONGOING FUEL LEAK PROBLEM THAT GM HAS HAD WITH '06-'08 MODELS. MY MOTHER BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND DRIVEN VERY LITTLE. GM SHOULD REPAIR ALL THE 2008 G5'S THAT ARE LEAKING FUEL, NOT JUST THE ONES IN A SELECT FEW STATES. FUEL LEAKS ARE DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE IN ANY STATE.
