Continued to added anti-freeze to prevent car from running hot. 2014 took car to dealer for anti-freeze problem they replaced the container and cap (purchased separately) and flushed the radiator cost $312. Two weeks later car ran hot steam shooting out from under the hood. Anti-freeze container empty again. Returned car to dealer where it is now they told me I had blown head gaskets and that it would cost $1500 to repair on a car I still pay monthly notes. They called the next day told me gm would cover 60% of the cost and I had to pay $600. I feel that gm should add the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo to their list of recall and replace the whole car for all who have paid out money for these reoccurring problems because this car is a piece of junk. It was Monday, Feb. 14, 2011 when this fuel pump issue happened.

Tie rods both replaced as well as both front sway bars. Immediately following vehicle purchase, check engine light would continuously go off. I would call onstar at which point I was told to take car in for repair w/I 7-10 days (often told a problem w/powertrain or transmission) . At dealers service dept, told over and over again after tons of worry, concern and time spent, that electrical system on this car tends to trip/trigger check engine light and they would just reset it so after awhile, I began to disregard the light as I was in the dealership almost weekly. Approx 2 yrs after purchase, filled up gas tank and fuel light showed "low fuel". Went back up to full, dropped to 1/2 and back to empty. Went back to full after car was turned off and continued to do this. After about 2 weeks, constantly stays at empty. Called repair shop and was told approx $700-800 to drop tank and replace fuel sensor which I could not afford and began to track odometer and refill tank after 200 miles driven after fill up. Have been doing this for 5 years. Jan 29,2011, I go for emission test. Fail d/t low fuel and check engine light being on. Go to mechanic, approx $950 repair. Check engine light goes off. . . And back on next day. Read thousands of posts online and am finding many, many Envoy owners experiencing same problems as mine. These are safety issues and gm should issue a recall on entire fuel and electrical system. Please call for questions/clarification. It was Monday, Jan. 1, 2007 when this fuel pump issue occurred.

Fuel Pump problem of Honda Odyssey
A strong gasoline smell in the cabin and on the outside of the 2005 Honda Odyssey van. I called Honda in October about it they said take to dealer to check fuel relay switch, dealer said it was okay, but to diagnose the smell they have to charge me $120. I did not have the money so I had to leave. Been sick with dealing cancer appointments and , had no time or money to deal with car, finally I took it on 12/6/2016 to a private mechanic for only $40 and they said it had a crack on top of the fuel pump casing. But the whole fuel pump had to be repaired and was going to cost $563. They advised me not to drive it around, so I contacted Honda and they said if I take it back to the dealer they might help me with the repair, because they don't want the car to blow up while I am driving it. I inquired as to a recall for this problem and the service adviser stated that she was not aware of any recall notice for the fuel pump problem, but would see if I could get out of warranty help, I told her that I have read online and had printed out so many people stating their 2005 Hondas having this same problem. I would like to have this investigated for a recall. Just because I don't have the money to fix this faulty casing which is a common problem, I should not have to risk mine or anyone else's life. I will repost the outcome, Honda gave me a reference number and said someone should contact me by the end on 12/09/2013 to let me know if the can help with the cost. This fuel pump issue occurred October 1, 2013.

Fuel Pump problem of Hyundai Santa Fe
The vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) was 5NMSG13D98_. The fuel gauge on my 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe at around 67k miles started reading empty and then it started reading normal and then empty. Finally it has only read empty for the past couple thousand miles. I was hoping that it would fix itself which it never did. Wishful thinking. I ended up bringing my Santa Fe into the local Hyundai service department to troubleshoot the problem plus replace the front and back brakes, and perform existing recalls. They told me that one of the two fuel pumps located in the gas tank had failed. The fuel pump that failed was the one with the sending unit which provides the signal to the fuel gauge. They told me that I was fortunate that the other fuel pump did not fail as my Hyundai Santa Fe will stop running. This problem occurred on Jan. 31, 2014.

Fuel Pump problem of Hyundai Santa Fe
The vehicle involved is a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe. The fuel gauge on dash has begun fluctuating wildly even with full tank of gas. No check engine light yet but based on what I have read I am anticipating a problem code coming soon. My research is pointing to the fuel level sensor attached to the fuel pump. However, only the whole assembly appears to be available and as such, it is highly costly to correct. Hyundai should provide a recall for this due to the huge number of people experiencing the same problem. It has also been noted that this has caused vehicles to stall while on the highway creating a hazard to other drivers and myself. When the car ran out of gas, the power steering went out and it became very hard to steer. Please see the following web site for a current list of many other Santa Fe owners having the same problem. This issue happened on Dec. 2, 2013.. Read more...

Fuel Pump problem of Infiniti M45
The vehicle involved is a 2003 Infiniti M45. Vehicle identification number (VIN): JNKAY41E53_. This relates to NHTSA investigation pe11038. I write about a faulty design that Infiniti did not recall and will not take responsibility for. Some time ago, my fuel gauge became erratic, then the "service engine soon" light went on. The trouble code, p0462, was for "fuel level sensor a circuit low input" (not really news since the gauge wasn't working). I took it to a shop that replaced the fuel sender and fuel pump, but that didn't solve the problem. They told me that the instrument cluster had to be replaced and that Infiniti has redesigned the cluster because the original design was faulty. As I was told, the design error caused the cluster to fail when the fuel sender failed. I see online that this is a recurring problem and one that Infiniti will sometimes take responsibility for - though not for me. I understand, of course, that manufacturers generally need to put some limits on their warranty liability. My fuel sender failed after my warranty had expired, and I would not expect Infiniti to cover the cost of that repair. However, the instrument cluster was poorly designed such that it too could fail if the fuel sender went bad. That, apparently, is a problem that Infiniti knew about years ago and chose not to address. It seems reasonable to me that Infiniti would not issue a recall for such an issue that would likely be seen only by a minority of owners. However, it also seems fair that the owners who are affected - regardless of their warranty status at the time of failure - would have their faulty clusters replaced at Infiniti's expense (which would certainly be a small expense compared to a recall). Repeated inquiries to Infiniti - directly and through my dealer - have elicited only the response that my car is out of warranty. It was Wed., Sep. 15, 2010 when this fuel pump issue happened.

Fuel Pump problem of Jeep Liberty
The car was a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The vehicle identification number (VIN) of this Jeep Liberty is 1J4GL48K86_. This incident started in 2008 and at the time thought it was a failure of the gas pump at the gas station but now the problem is more common and happens weekly, recently splashing gasoline into my eyes which required fluid eye rinse and medical attention. Every time I fill up the tank on my 2006 Jeep Liberty, the gas begins to overflow and splashes back, out of the fuel inlet opening. This in turn sprays fuel out at a force, and then onto the ground. Recently this happened and sprayed fuel into my eyes, on onto my clothes. Not only is this a safety issue, but also a major fire hazard. It is my understanding after talking with the dealer that this is a known problem with Jeep Liberty's in that the fuel tank's inlet check valve is faulty which in turn fails to automatically shut off the gas station fuel pump in time. This is my formal complaint that I was injured due to a known, faulty part/component of the Jeep Liberty. This fuel pump problem happened on 06/25/2008.

Fuel Pump problem of Mercedes Benz E350
The vehicle was a 2006 Mercedes Benz E350. Vehicle identification number (VIN): WDBUF56J86_. In the previous months leading up to March 2012, I, along with my family, started to smell a strong odor of fuel in the interior of our Mercedes Benz e 350w. The smell was so strong that when riding in the automobile, we had to drive with the windows down fearing of what could happen to me and my family if there was a spark from any part of the engine or underneath the automobile. At a point during that bad experience with that automobile, I could only fill the fuel tank half full without smelling the strong odor of gasoline inside the vehicle. I thought it was now time to get some professional service and advice. In January, 2012, I took my automobile to atlanta classic cars, inc. In duluth georgia 30098. After the first inspection, I was told fuel sending units leak fuel. The next visit, March 2012, both sending units were replaced. Before the next visit, the fuel fumes continued. The next visit, April 3, 2012, the fuel pump was replaced due to intermittent open circuit. The next visit, April 9, 2012; "the team leader found a slight trail of fuel residue which may be where fuel vapors are coming from part of the fuel tank. " the next and last visit, April 12, 2012 the fuel tank was replaced. Not trusting the work performed by that dealership and the time it took to find that problem, my wife and I had no other choice but to trade the automobile. Maintaining ownership of that automobile was much too risky and dangerous for my family. Dealing with that dealerships service advisor was much too difficult!!!. This fuel pump problem happened on November 1, 2011.

Fuel Pump problem of Saturn ION
I have had nothing but problems with my Saturn Ion since I have owned it. First there was a purge solenoid that went out on my car which affected how I started it. Then my key got stuck in my ignition with the car on! I had to disconnect the fuel pump fuse and the battery to get the car off. A month later of driving the car without being able to use the key, I ordered a new part for it and had a friend rebuild the ignition in the car and now only my spare key to the car will work. Now the most recent issue to date is the fuel pump. I started smelling gas about a month ago and it gradually got worse over time. Took it to have it looked at and there is now gas leaking onto my gas tank and gasoline is also pooling under my car! huge problem! my friend says it is the fuel pump that is going out on the car and I do see that it is under recall but I don't think my car falls under the recall which is ridiculous!. This fuel pump issue occurred Tue., Oct. 1, 2013.

Fuel Pump problem of Subaru Forester
Fuel leak in 2004 Subaru Forester xt similar to other safety complaints entered, NHTSA campaign 09v468000 and Subaru recall wvk-21 for 2003 wrx. Evening of 7jan2014 driving home (in uncommonly cool weather) the vehicle began to smell strongly of gasoline in the passenger compartment. Upon arriving home, inspected under the hood to observe dripping fuel (approximately 1 drip per second) above the engine at a metal to rubber fuel line connection. Leaked fuel was pooled on the top of the engine. A puddle of warm fuel vaporizing near electrical equipment (battery, alternator, radiator fans) is a serious fire hazard. The car has been parked since the event. I investigated on the internet and have found numerous other accounts of cold weather fuel leaks in many Subaru models nearly identical to mine. My local Subaru dealer appeared to be aware of the issue when I called, but stated there is no active recall on my model. They offered that their fix is to tighten the hose clamps but I would need to cover the cost of the work. If Subaru has accepted responsibility for this issue in the 2002-2003 impreza and wrx, why would they not address the problem in other models that show the same symptoms?. This issue happened on 01/07/14.

Fuel Pump problem of Suzuki XL7
The car was a 2003 Suzuki xl-7. My 2003 Suzuki xl-7 started making noises and suddenly the engine died while I was driving on a major road at an intersection during heavy traffic. My car would not crank back up and I had to have a police officer help me push my car through the intersection and call a tow truck. The tow truck took my car to the local Suzuki dealership and service dept. The head mechanic informed me after inspecting the vehicle that my internal fuel pump burnt all my wiring harnesses up in the entire car. I was low on fuel that day and it was a miracle that the fuel tank did not blow up and or the vehicle didn't catch fire. The mechanic has recorded what he found and we have all the burnt and defective original parts. I have paid a lot and am still waiting for over two months without a car for the parts to get it fixed. A recall needs to be made and an investigation on the fuel pump that was installed in my car by the manufacturer Suzuki. This fuel pump issue occurred Tuesday, March 10, 2009.

Fuel Pump problem of Buick Lucerne
The vehicle involved is a 2008 Buick Lucerne. Car would not start, and the fuel relay fuse had blown, damaging the fuse box. Fuse was replaced and on Dec 4, 2013 the car would not start again. New fuse block had to be installed. Mechanic's diagnoses said the fuel pump was not receiving good voltage at time, further inspection and testing showed under the rear seal left side fuse block is receiving good voltage but sending a low voltage signal to the fuel pump. Further investigation shows a burnt and melted high resistance connection at the fuel pump relay. Normally, I understand the fuse next to the relay should have blown. Problem seems to stem with the fuse box and there was only one available in the united states on 12/4/2013 which I got. My mechanic was told they are on national backorder and it could take up to 6 months to receive one. So there is an obvious problem with these fuse boxes. This issue happened on Saturday, November 23, 2013.

Fuel Pump problem of Jaguar X-type
The car involved is a 2007 Jaguar X-type. The VIN of this X-type is SAJWA51A87_. The engine stalled out when we were traveling in the passing lane at speed on an interstate highway. We had to move to the right side shoulder of the highway in front of another vehicle we had just passed and other traffic coming close behind. Definitely a scary situation for us and the other drivers. We were towed to the nearest jag dealer. The dealer had our car for two weeks. They replaced the fuel pump. The service tech's told us that they had never heard of a fuel pump going bad in an X-type. When I questioned the cost of the job, about $1450, I was told that the fuel tank had to be removed to replace the fuel pump. Since that time, we have had a battery replaced, the second for this car since we have owned it, and had to have brake pads replaced, at which time, we were told that the rear brakes had a problem in the calipers that caused the pads to sit further from the discs than they should. This brake problem causes us to use extra pedal travel when braking the car. Then, on Dec 9, 2013, the rear differential fell out of the bottom of our car. We were only doing about 20 mph so there was no accident, but we had to be towed to a jag dealer about 30 miles away. My research found that when the fuel tank is removed, the differential would also be removed. This was confirmed by the service writer where my jag was towed. One of the differentials bolts broke where it appeared to have been cracked, as if it had been over torqued when installed! the service writer asked to see the work order for the fuel pump work, so I asked him to look it up. He was not able to find the info, because the work was done out of warranty and the jag system does not record out of warranty work! that is probably why the techs never heard of a fuel pump going bad or a differential falling out of a jag car, even though there have been examples of both reported here!. This fuel pump problem happened on Dec. 21, 2012.

Fuel Pump problem of Jaguar S-type
The vehicle involved is a 2005 Jaguar S-type. I would like to start by sharing with you that I am a father, husband, friend and active member of the community that I am part of. Today, I am contacting you because I am extremely concerned about an issue that has occurred with our family car that we purchased only two months ago. I am concerned because I feel that driving this car presents a high danger and can cause a tragic accident harming not just me, but my children whom I drive to anf from school, my wife and friends and other fellow drivers who drive on the same streets and highways I do. The details of my concern and complain are as follows and I hereby request that your organization investigate this matter until the cause of it as well as the permanent resolution is found and reached for the benefit of all the drivers on the road - who are not just drivers but also parents, children, siblings, spouses and friends to those in their lives. In the two months I have owned a 2005 s type Jaguar, I have had to take it to the dealer twice with the same problem which the Jaguar mechanics have not been able to figure out the root cause of. The issue involves the car shutting down right in the middle of the street without warning. The dealer has told me that the fuel system/pump is failing on the car, however, they are not able to determine what causes the fuel pump system to fail. Since I have taken the car now twice in two months, the dealer is telling me that they will not fix it again if the fuel system fails. I am extremely concerned because the dealer/manufacturer now does not want to take ownership of the issue and identify and correct the root cause of the problem which I found out through an attorney is a known problem for these cars and there was actually had a recall under NHTSA's campaign id number: 06v418000. This issue happened on Tuesday, September 20, 2011.
