Tl * the contact owns a 2007 pontiac g5. The vehicle caught fire while it was parked and unoccupied at the contact's residence. The fire department extinguished the fire and stated that it originated from the fuel pump area. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 102,000. Updated 9/18/14 updated 2/3/2015
Filled up the fuel tank and when I arrived home noticed a strong smell of fuel. Looked under car and noticed fuel leak coming from fuel tank area. The car was taken to the local GM dealer and they advised the fuel tank has a 5 inch crank on the top area where the fuel neck hose connects. This vehicle has a prior recall for fuel tank parts that can crack and leak fuel leading to the possibility of a fire. The fuel tanks should have been included in the recall since they are made of plastic as well and are cracking.
