Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Pontiac Torrent owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

On 11-10-16 we smelled gas outside the car after exiting the vehicle. We took it to our local mechanic. The nearest GM dealer is about 20 miles from our home. They checked the problem, found the fuel line on the fuel pump module cracked and leaking. They said we would have a fire soon if this was not repaired immediately. They removed and replaced fuel pump module. We paid for the repair...$592 for part & $200 labor. After repair, I called the dealer to see if this was a common problem with our vehicle. They said, yes, there is a "open service bulletin" for that vehicle with a reimbursement clause. We took the required paperwork to the dealer. They found that the reimbursement clause expired 7-31-2014, but there is no expiration if it is repaired at a dealer. If we had been aware of this problem or requirement, we would have taken it to the dealer. …

2007 Pontiac Torrent with a strong gas odor near the rear of the car after parked. Upon putting the car on a lift, discovered gasoline leaking from the top of the gas tank. Researched and found recalls on this models in certain southern states, but, not in illinois. I have found many complaints about this but are not in the recall states. There is a problem with this vehicle and it should be recalled to avoid a dangerous fire or explosion. This vehicle could be registered in a recall state and it would be covered under the recall. This doesn't make sense. Was a deal struck with general motors? The recall number for souther states is NHTSA campaign number: 12V459000 (fuel system, gasoline)

There was a vivid gasoline smell inside the vehicle and on the outside right rear by the gas tank, took it to a mechanic come to find out it was was the return port on the fuel pump module that had cracked, which is very dangerous because I was driving the vehicle and a nice part for my brakes or anywhere could have caused a fire. I find out that there is a recall on the plastic supplier return port so I had my mechanic save my part on my vehicle and it is documented that this is the actual part that is on recall from other 2007 Pontiac Torrent this is a dangerous situation and I believe it needs attention before someone gets hurt or killed buy an explosion or fire.

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. I see there was a recall that sounds like the issue I am having but the dealers tell me that since I am not in the states listed I have to figure out how to pay to fix myself; which I can not afford and is my only transportation for myself and my 2 1 year old grandchildren. I need help please
