“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!”
NHTSA complaint #11318994, filed 2020-03, 160,000 miles“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!!”

NHTSA complaint #11072011, filed 2018-02, 160,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11000985, filed 2017-06, 83,257 miles“I have a check leak in a fitting above the gas tank that is leaking on the exhaust.

It leaks constantly.”
