My 2009 Pontiac G5 was driven to work this morning 6-10-21and parked in a Michigan State vehicle garage. Security notified me at work that my vehicle had a puddle of gas under and near a rear tire. I removed vehicle frome parking garage and parked it in a remote open parking lot. A gas leak in a car is dangerous, and a safety issue for me and others, especially in a parking garage!!! The vehicle has always been maintained as I am the original owner of the car. The car will be delivered to the dealer for inspection on 6/14/21. There are no recalls on this car. Opon my own investigation after the incident, there are numerous complaints logged into NHTSA of a rust issue of the fuel line where it is clamped near the fuel tank. There is also reports of crack developing at the intank fuel pump connection. ALL Cobalts, G5 's and other variations of this vehicle should be recalled immediately and inspections of the fuel system be reported back to NHTSA. Was there a fire? My answer is "NOT YET".

Fuel line leakage - gas leaks out quickly until the tank is empty. The car is undrivable in this condition, which seems to be a hugely common problem with the 2009 Pontiac G5. A massive gas leak is a safety concern.

Around 127000 miles I noticed a strong smell of gasoline, and a small drip from under my car, after taking a closer look I noticed that it was gas, and it was coming from the retaining clip that holds the fuel/brake lines in place, I was not financially stable to have this repaired at the time, and it wasn't leaking to bad so I left it go, after about 2-3 more weeks I was driving and noticed that I could literally see my fuel gauge dropping, I immediately pulled over and inspected the problem area and see that the car was dumping fuel and a very high pressurized rate, I also took note that the gas was being sprayed onto the hot exhaust that is about 4-6? away from the fuel lines, I got the car home and parked it, after doing hours of research I seen that 95% of this year and model of GM have this issue due to the heat shielding on the fuel lines after searching my VIN it says that my vehicle has no active recalls but I've seen complaint after complaint about this issue, not only that it is extremely dangerous that gas is being stayed out under pressure which is causing it to vaporize and become even more of a fire hazard, not to mention it is inches away from the exhaust and directly below the fuel tank... this issue should defiantly be addressed with GM and be submitted for recall in my opinion, this issue only happens when the vehicle is on or the key is turned to the on position and the fuel pump is primed and running to charge the fuel lines, after the vehicle is turned off the leak stops after the fuel line has drained onto the ground causing another fire hazard and a environmental hazard making it an issue to start the car again due to no gas being in the lines, in my case I have to turn the key to on and give the fuel pump about 15 seconds to prime and pump gas into the lines, this issue has made it impossible to drive as I dump a gallon of fuel every 2-3 miles.

Fuel line is leaking underneath, behind drivers door & in front of rear wheel.along with the Chevy cobalt (the equivalent to my Pontiac G5), this an all too common problem as I have research numerous complaints of this same leak from the same location. This is a potential fire hazard & I am having difficulty finding the replacement fuel lines.

I went in to get an oil change done for my car and one of the workers said that they had to stop because they were smelling gas coming from the driver side rear of my car. I then later find out that my car has a fuel line leak. I did some research and found that my car has not been the only one as it also happens to Chevy cobalts, which my car is pretty much a copy of.

- Las Cruces, NM, USA

Vehicle stationary - experienced a hard start post driving, after driving I smelled a strong gasoline vapor. Based on the symptoms and the make, model, year, this appears to be a fuel leak of some sort caused by a deteriorating plastic tube in the fuel line which should be covered by recall https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2012/09/29/general-motors-recall/1602747/

- Wylie, TX, USA

Gas is leaking (fairly steady flow) near rear driver-side tire when engine is running, in park or drive, stops leaking once car is off. This appears like it should be covered by #12191B, but according to GM my VIN is not in system as being covered. GM will not cover unless I take care in for diagnostics. I wont take car in for diagnostics since it could catch fire until I know that it will be covered. Vehicle has a little over 100K miles.
