2007 PONTIAC TORRENT Fuelpropulsion System Problems

gas tank leaking

MY PASSENGER SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT. THE IGNITION SWITCH CLICKS CONSTANTLY. THE KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR ENGINE SKIPS WHENEVER I SLOW DOWN OR ACCELERATE. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER I'M DRIVING HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN EXCEPT FOR WHEN I'M PARKED AND THE KEYS GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. PLEASE HELP!!

WHEN I START MY 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT, IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. BEGINNING WHEN I START MY CAR TO THE TIME I TURN IT OFF, IT SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE. I FLY THROUGH GASOLINE AND CANNOT FILL MY TAN ANYMORE THAN $10.00 OR ELSE IT GOES TO WASTE. SMELLS LIKE THERE IS A LEAK OR CRACK SOMEWHERE TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT'S A EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR!

THE VEHICLE DELAYS SPEED ALMOST TO A CRAWL DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR. I SMELL GAS CONSTANTLY. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING. BUT THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG WHEN I GET GAS, GO AROUND CORNERS, AND WHEN IT'S WARM OUT. THE FUMES GIVE MY HUSBAND AND I HEADACHES. I FEAR FOR MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THE CAR. THE FUEL LINES WERE REPLACED LAST SPRING TO PASS EMISSIONS TESTING. I'VE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ISSUED FOR FUEL PROBLEMS IN WARMER STATES. HOWEVER, THE STATE I LIVE HAS EXTREME TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS FROM HOT TO COLD. AND GETS VERY COLD HERE IN THE WINTER. I'M NOT SURE IF THE EXTREME CHANGES COULD AFFECT WHAT PART WAS RECALLED. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. SO AS TO THE DURATION OF THE ONGOING ISSUE, I AM UNSURE. ALTHOUGH, I'VE...

FOR THE PAST 1 1/2 YEARS MY CAR HAS BEEN SMELLING LIKE GAS. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY GAS CAP NOT SEALING. I BOUGHT A COUPLE NEW GAS CAP'S I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONE FROM ANOTHER TORRENT. IT DOES SEAL BUT SOMETIMES IT COMES UNSEALED. I HAVEN'T HAD THE ISSUE LOOKED AT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. EVERY TIME I'M IN MY CAR I FEAR THAT IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE. IT'S EVEN SCARIER WHEN I HAVE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS WITH ME. TODAY I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOOK MY CAR OUT OF THE BAY IMMEDIATELY. THEY TOLD ME I HAD A SEVERE FUEL LEAK AND I SHOULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE MY CAR COULD EXPLODE. THERE IS A MECHANIC RIGHT NEXT-DOOR AND THEY VERIFIED THAT I DO INDEED HAVE A BAD FUEL LEAK. TOMORROW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THEM DROP...

FOR THE PAST YEAR OR TWO MY CAR HAS BEEN SMELLING LIKE GAS. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY GAS CAP BECAUSE IT STOPPED SEALING. I REPLACED IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH A NEW ONE. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET AN ORIGINAL GAS CAP FROM ANOTHER TORRENT FROM FROM A JUNKYARD. THE GAS CAP GOES ON AND SEALS BUT STILL SOMETIMES COMES UNSEALED. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING REGARDING THE SMELL OF GAS BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT OR HAVE ANYBODY LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. TODAY I DECIDED TO GO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY IMMEDIATELY PULLED MY CAR OUT OF THE BAY. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO STOP DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE THERE IS A SEVERE FUEL LEAK AND MY CAR COULD EXPLODE. THANKFULLY THERE IS A MECHANIC RIGHT NEXT-DOOR AND I HAD THEM LOOK AND THERE IS A VERY BAD FUEL LEAK....

2007 PONTIAC TORRENT WITH A STRONG GAS ODOR NEAR THE REAR OF THE CAR AFTER PARKED. UPON PUTTING THE CAR ON A LIFT, DISCOVERED GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. RESEARCHED AND FOUND RECALLS ON THIS MODELS IN CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES, BUT, NOT IN ILLINOIS. I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT ARE NOT IN THE RECALL STATES. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO AVOID A DANGEROUS FIRE OR EXPLOSION. THIS VEHICLE COULD BE REGISTERED IN A RECALL STATE AND IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. WAS A DEAL STRUCK WITH GENERAL MOTORS? THE RECALL NUMBER FOR SOUTHER STATES IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE DETECTED A FUEL ODOR AND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT A NEW FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS NEEDED. THE CONTACT CALLED MOREHART MURPHY REGIONAL AUTO CENTER (LOCATED AT 31 PARKER AVE, DURANGO, CO 81303, (970) 247-2121) AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE JUST GOT THIS CAR IT JUST STARTED LEAKING AROUND THE FUEL TANK. MY HUSBAND BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL GAGE HAS NOT WORKED SINCE BEFORE WE GOT THE CAR. IT CAME FROM WINDOWROCK, ARIZONA, WAS SOLD TO A DEALERSHIP IN FARMINGTON, NM. THEN IT WAS SOLD TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN KIRTLAND, NM. WE HAVE IT NOW AND HAVE HAD IT ALMOST A MONTH. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ERROR IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I WAS LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP LOCATION AND HOW TO CHANGE IT OUT. I SAW SOMETHING ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP LEAKS AND AIRBAG PROBLEMS BEING A RECALL ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OUT OF ARIZONA. WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE....

FUEL SMELL AFTER DRIVING. GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. STABILITRAX SYSTEM LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THE CODE WAS CLEARED BY A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC.

I HAVE A CHECK LEAK IN A FITTING ABOVE THE GAS TANK THAT IS LEAKING ON THE EXHAUST. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE SEEN THIS LEAK AND FIXED IT UNDER A RECALL BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE ED ACT SAME PROBLEM. IT LEAKS CONSTANTLY.

RECENTLY NOTICED A SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. NOTICED IT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT FIRST BUT NOW CAN SMELL IT ON THE INSIDE AS WELL. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR JUST SITTING. SMELL IS COMING FROM REAR OF CAR CLOSE TO GAS TANK.

THERE WAS A VIVID GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND ON THE OUTSIDE RIGHT REAR BY THE GAS TANK, TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS WAS THE RETURN PORT ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE THAT HAD CRACKED, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND A NICE PART FOR MY BRAKES OR ANYWHERE COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. I FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE PLASTIC SUPPLIER RETURN PORT SO I HAD MY MECHANIC SAVE MY PART ON MY VEHICLE AND IT IS DOCUMENTED THAT THIS IS THE ACTUAL PART THAT IS ON RECALL FROM OTHER 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I BELIEVE IT NEEDS ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED BUY AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.

YEARS AGO WE STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE AROUND THE VEHICLE, WE ASSUMED THAT WAS NORMAL, BUT TWO MONTHS AGO THE ODOR STARTED SMELLING EVEN INSIDE THE CAR CAUSING US HEADACHES. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD, I FOUND NOTHING; LATER I DECIDED TO INSPECT UNDER THE CAR. IT WAS THEN THAT I NOTICED FUEL WAS COMING OUT FROM THE UPPER SIDE OF THE TANK FUEL DOWN INTO THE WIRING CONNECTORS, WHICH WERE SOAKED IN FUEL. AT THIS POINT I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR.

SMELL STRONG FUEL LEAK IN THE BACK OF THE CAR BY GAS TANK.

VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE RAW GASOLINE AND LEAKS FUEL IF TANK IS FILLED --NOTICEABLE ON THE OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE --WHEN STORED IN GARAGE THE WHOLE AREA SMELLS LIKE RAW GASOLINE--THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE OF THE CRACKED FUEL LINE FROM THE TANK--WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2016 FROM THE GM DEALER IN WAHOO SID DILLON IT WAS USED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 217,059.

THE LAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A DECREASE IN POWER WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SHAKES DUE TO THE LOSS IN POWER. I NOTICED THERE WAS A PAST RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP ISSUES.

THERE IS FUEL LEAKING FROM SOMEWHERE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK OR THE GENERAL AREA AND DRIPPING TO THE GROUND. IT LEAKS WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO PARKED

GAS LEAK I CANT LOCATE BUT FILLS THE CAR WITH VERY STRONG GAS FUMES AND CAN ALSO BE SPELLED AS YOU APPROACH THE VEHICLE (APPROX.5 YARDS AWAY). THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE AND NO ONE CAN FIND A LEAK BUT CAN SMELL THE GAS ODOR STRONG. I PURCHASED A NEW GAS CAP AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP EITHER. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE ISSUE I AM HAVING BUT THE DEALERS TELL ME THAT SINCE I AM NOT IN THE STATES LISTED I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PAY TO FIX MYSELF; WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD AND IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION FOR MYSELF AND MY 2 1 YEAR OLD GRANDCHILDREN. I NEED HELP PLEASE

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IS FAULTY. IGNITION SWITCH IS LOSE. GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING TRACTION CONTROL STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ARE ALL ON. LOSES POWER AND DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE SOMETIMES.

ON 11-10-16 WE SMELLED GAS OUTSIDE THE CAR AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC. THE NEAREST GM DEALER IS ABOUT 20 MILES FROM OUR HOME. THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM, FOUND THE FUEL LINE ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE CRACKED AND LEAKING. THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE A FIRE SOON IF THIS WAS NOT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED FUEL PUMP MODULE. WE PAID FOR THE REPAIR...$592 FOR PART & $200 LABOR. AFTER REPAIR, I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE. THEY SAID, YES, THERE IS A "OPEN SERVICE BULLETIN" FOR THAT VEHICLE WITH A REIMBURSEMENT CLAUSE. WE TOOK THE REQUIRED PAPERWORK TO THE DEALER. THEY FOUND THAT THE REIMBURSEMENT CLAUSE EXPIRED 7-31-2014, BUT THERE IS NO EXPIRATION IF IT IS REPAIRED AT A DEALER. IF WE HAD BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM OR REQUIREMENT, WE WOULD...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. WHETHER WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED, AN ODOR OF FUEL EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,500.

LOST FWD DO TO WHEEL BEARING HUB TWICE, GAS GAUGE GOES TO WHAT EVER POSITION IT WANTS TO EVEN WHEN FULL OF GAS. RADIO CHANGES STATIONS WITH OUT NO ONE TOUCHING IT. TRANSMISSION HAS A CHATTER IN IT NOW AND VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 80000 MILES ON IT. STILL PAYING FOR A LEMON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN PARK, THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR EMITTING FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE WAS SLUGGISH TO START, SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY, THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC SAID HE SMELLED GAS, AND AFTER CHECKING IT, HE DETERMINED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEN FOUND OUT IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY CAR IS THE CORRECT YEAR, CORRECT MODEL AND HAS THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL, BUT IT IS LIMITED TO CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS, HOW IS THAT FAIR. AFTER A BILL OF 1700.00. I THINK THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES BESIDES THE VIN NUMBERS LISTED. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR

THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE FUEL...

STRONG GAS COULD BE SMELLED NEAR THE GAS TANK. I COULD NOT PARK IT IN THE GARAGE DUE TO SAFETY CONSIDERATION. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR ACCORDING TO GM DATABASE. I HEARD THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS BUT WHY MY CAR IS NOT IN THE RECALL SINCE GAS LEAKING IS THE SAME REASON, FUEL PUMP RELATED. HOPE GOVERNMENT INVOLVES THIS WITH HIGH PRIORITY BECAUSE THIS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO PEOPLE OR PROPERTIES IF PARKED IN THE GARAGES. *TR

WE ALSO HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT WITH A STRONG GAS SMELL. WE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING OUR VEHICLE DID QUALIFY FOR THE 12V-459 RECALL BUT WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID IT DIDN'T. WE WERE THEN DIRECTED TO GM'S MAIN OFFICE WHERE MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD YEAH IT DID QUALIFY AND AN ESCALATION DEPARTMENT WOULD BE CALLING HIM BACK TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF. WELL LOW AND BEHOLD HE GETS A CALL TODAY AND IS TOLD NO THE CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY. NOW HOW IN THE HECK DID WE GET A LETTER WITH OUR VIN NUMBER SAYING IT QUALIFIES AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DOESN'T? WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE A GAS LEAK AS THE SMELL IS RIDICULOUS. MY HUSBAND IS A CANCER SURVIVOR FOR GODS SAKE. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT STATES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT QUALIFYING...

I'VE READ ARTICLES RECENTLY ON FUEL LEAK RECALLS FOR A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT AND OTHER GM VEHICLES IN CERTAIN WARM WEATHER STATES SUCH AS TEXAS. FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. THE FUEL LEAK AND THE SMELL ARE BECOMING WORSE EVERY TIME I DRIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND SMELLED GASOLINE COMING FROM THE CAR. AFTER 2 DAYS THE GASOLINE SMELL PERSISTED SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. UPON LOOKING, THEY FOUND A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP WHICH THEY SAID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART. THEY WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOT. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. LATER I SAW ON THE INTERNET THAT GM WAS RECALLING CERTAIN PONTIAC TORRENTS WITH SPECIFIC VIN NUMBERS AND MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT WAS MANUFACTURED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

I DID RESEARCH TO DISCOVER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V459000, INDICATING RECALL OF FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLIES THAT HAVE FAILED AND WERE FIRE DANGERS. THE GM RECALL CENTER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, AND THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP ALSO CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO RECALL ACCORDING TO MY VIN. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER MAY HAVE LIMITED THE RECALL TO NOT INCLUDE CARS THAT ARE IN FACT DEFECTIVE, AND WOULD LIKE FOR THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE. *TR
