“My car is smelling like gas I have a leak and im thinking its the fuel pump leaking. My son is a certified mechanic and he looked at my car. He is the one who also said that is probably the fuel pump.there were recalls on 2006 and up in years on the fuel pump. I have one a year 2005 . I think they need to check on the 2005s for this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10891550, filed 2016-07, 84,300 miles“After filling up at the gas station there is a strong smell of gas outside and inside of my car until the gas has been ran out a little and it is so strong that my car is not drivable. I have been told that the fuel line to the fuel pump has a crack in it. .. Updated 02/19/15”
NHTSA complaint #10682477, filed 2015-02, 107,110 miles“I first noticed the smell of gasoline when the car was parked. If it was parked on a slight incline, there was a puddle of gas on the driveway. Because I saw online that many others were having a similar problem, I checked to see if there was a recall...but there wasn't. I finally had the fuel pump replaced because I was afraid of a fire. Will I be reimbursed if there is finally a recall done on this very dangerous issue?”
NHTSA complaint #10733336, filed 2015-07, 46,000 miles“I have been smelling gas from vehicle but did not notice leak. Did notice lower miles per gallon. Took vehicle in for brakes and mechanic informed me I was lucky the car hadn't caught on fire. Took pictures of gas pool on tank. The fuel pump elbow is cracked and the entire unit needs to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10538187, filed 2013-08, 140,000 miles“Took my car to the gmc. Dealer to get recalls fixed. They also noticed strong gas odor. Inspection stated I had a gas leak at the top of my tank and it was dangerous but no recall on this so almost 300$labor +parts... I called gmc and they said my car had too many miles. And 10 years old. I don't feel like I should have to pay for an issue that is clearly from the manufacturer. Any help or advice please! My car could burst into flames.”
