TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE A STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH WAS FRACTURED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC TORRENT. THE CONTACT SMELLED AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO ADVISED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP) HOWEVER, WAS ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

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

SOON AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE ON ABOVE DATE I BEGAN TO NOTICE A SMELL OF GAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY AN INDEPENDENT STATION INDICATED THEY SAW GAS LEAK EVIDENCE ON THE GAS TANK, AND BEFORE REPAIR I SHOULD CHECK FOR RECALL, SINCE THEY HAD MADE SIMILAR REPAIRS BEFORE. 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
