Some Pontiac G5 owners report experiencing a smell of gas after turning off their vehicles, which may indicate underlying issues with the fuel system. This odor can be caused by a leak in the fuel line, allowing gas fumes to escape. Additionally, a missing or faulty gas cap may lead to gas fumes escaping if it is not properly sealing. Furthermore, problems within the fuel system, such as malfunctioning components, can also contribute to the lingering smell. It is crucial for owners to address any strong gas odors promptly to ensure safety and mitigate potential hazards associated with fuel leaks or system malfunctions.
