Description of the problem | I have been notified during my most recent oil change that there is a fuel leak on my 2007 pontiac g6. The mechanic stated he has seen several gm vehicles including other g6's with this same issue this summer. The 2007 pontiac g5 was recently recalled due to this exact same issue. Gm put me and my family in danger by not including the g6 in their recall. The fuel pump on this vehicle needs to be recalled before people start getting killed in fires caused by this faulty fuel pump. The heat in the state i live in (arizona) causes cracks to form in the plastic on the fuel pump causing a fuel leak. This is the exact same problem addressed in gm's recall campaign number 12190 which is an expansion of recall 09v-419 (nhtsa campaign id number: 12v459000). 5 other 2007 gm models have been recalled for this fire hazard. It is time that the recall is once again expanded to include all gm models with this fuel pump problem. This is an extremely dangerous situation because of the fuel leaks close proximity to extremely hot exhaust parts. It is only a matter of time before these fuel pumps start catching fire and killing innocent people who don't know there is a fuel leak. Please investigate this problem and force gm to stop dragging their feet in this matter before they kill innocent people. |
