2006 CHEVROLET COBALT Fuel/propulsion System Problems

The fuel tank has an evap leak that somehow breaks on top the tank so it leaks the gas vapors and could potentially start a fire but the part that breaks is a non serviceable part so it can’t be fixed without purchasing a whole new gas tank that isn’t cheap. My other concern is the infamous grounding issue with the wires on the ground g105 I believe right next to oil filter that grounds the transmission and engine control modules well it shorts at times when driving and suddenly your car dies while driving how scary it could cause a wreak and kill somebody it’s a very scary issue that constantly comes back even after trying to re ground it needs to be recalled and fixed it’s going to kill somebody and it’s a well known issue for this make and model that should have already gotten attention to be resolved.

strong smell of fuel affraid to drive the igntion get stuck and locks so you cant turn the car on

The vehicle is leaking from the fuel tank

Fuel line rusted, leaking under car. Smell gas in cabin.

Fuel leaking due to corrosion of fuel lines located near driver side rear wheel.

Before I get into all of it there has never been an accident not yet at least. I do everything I can to try an stop that from happening, (but accidents do happen) only because I know my car could kill on me so I’m extra careful. 1) After I get gas I’m my car the car won’t start right away. I have to restart it a couple times an step in the gas an rev up wasting the gas I just put in to get it to start. 2) When I stop an start to pull out of somewhere on to a main road the car will just die on me so I’m stuck pulling out in traffic trying to get my car to start again. It’s when I come to a stop an pull out it just kills on me. So I have to make sure no one else is coming an I have enough time to be able to restart it otherwise I’m worried when I pull out of anywhere or stop an go that another car will smack into me because my car just died on me in the middle of the road/ pulling out an crossing lanes. SUPER SCARY! 3) Let get into the next issue so anytime I run my ac my car starts to do this jumping thing like it wants to kill on me not to mention it has killed on me with the ac on (I live in Louisiana an it’s too hot not to have ac plus I have 3 kids) what’s sad is the ac works fine but if you want the car to maybe not die then turn it off an you have a better chance of it not killing off on you but not always a guarantee. So ill run it for second to try an cool down so I’m not drenched in sweat but I have no other choice to turn it off so the car doesn’t just die on me. This refers back to the 2nd problem I make sure it’s off anytime I pull out of anywhere thinking that would help it from killing on me while trying to get out of anywhere but it doesn’t but I can tell you If the ac is on when I pull out when I start to go it dies right as I’m in the middle of the road every time never fails. Mechanics have replaced parts trying to fix the issue, but it still happens I can’t keep buying/fixing things for nada, ongoing problems since buying.

Fuel line leaking similar to the recall on 2008-10 Cobalts -- gas puddles or drips from leaking fuel lines near the left rear wheel well, near the exhaust pipe and muffler. The leak is caused by corrosion of the metal fuel lines that are secured to the body of the car by plastic blocks.

My 2006 Chevy Cobalt has a fuel leak which was recently a recall. I have been told by several dealerships that it will not be repaired for free. How can this be? I didn't know recalls expired. It's a safety issue and the manufacturer's responsibility. Please advise me on next steps.

Last year or so, even before than, I noticed suddle fuel odor smell & noticed few drops by left rear wheel area...it has progressingly gotten worse and now puddles and smells of fuel constantly...all which I traced back to fuel lines by rear exhaust heat shield area where it's very rusty, inline elsewhere around car area...seems to be bad design and or manufacturing issue...also very common I noticed with cobalt saturn Pontiac models sharing same design & platform.. Very dangerous and needs to be corrected by gm!

My headlight an blinker quit working new bulbs an all new wiring it it still will not work My trunk button also just stopped working an the fuse is not blown. I even replaced it just to make sure still nothing. Door panel clips won’t stay in bought new ones same thing so now my handle is coming apart an my door doesn’t want to shut bc it thinks I’m still holding the handle.. Fuel everytime I get gas I have to crank my car a few times and press on the gas before I can get it to go otherwise it just dies on me I’ve had it looked at they said it was something about how my car does not know when to stop releasing air I think. My blinkers don’t turn off unless I do it manually. The seals on my door is no good anytime it rains it’s coming inside of my car an since the door panel won’t stay on it’s coming straight into my car

I began noticing a slight drop in fuel mileage at first. Started smelling fuel while parked and only getting 200 miles to a tank. Noticed the supply and return fuel lines where damp. Dropped the tank and the fuel lines at the pump were cracked a little. I temporarily fixed thos with jb weld but dont expect it to last.

Fuel lines are rusted where the heat tape is around them by the exhaust. This has caused them to rust and no is leaking fuel. I am worried that it's going to catch fire. This is my daughter's car and is a very poor design.

There is a recall for some vin numbers on the 2006 Chevy cobalt (recall # 09V419000). My vin number was not included but the exact recalled part was also defective on my car. I wanted to let you know because there are probably several more vins that should be included in this recall, as my car is proof of that.

HAD TO CHANGE MY FUEL PUMP DUE TO A CRACK ON IT. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ORDER TO TAKE IT OUT I HAVE TO PUSH A BUTTON UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. I TO CHANGE MY STEERING SHAFT BECAUSE IT DOES A CLACKING NOISE.

FUEL LINE LEAK BY LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL. HEAT SHIELD SEEMS TO CAPTURE MOISTURE AND HAS RUSTED LINE BY CLIP. RESULTS IN FUEL LEAK BY EXHAUST SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, CAR WENT DEAD> HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. POWER STEERING WENT OUT, BUT AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WAS OK. IT KEEPS HAPPENING OFF AND ON- ON OCCASIONS. I KEPT SMELLING GAS, TOOK IT TO CAR REPAIR SHOP WAS TOLD I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED OR WHATEVER THE PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK. NOTE: WHEN THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM ARRIVED I WAS LEAVING GOING TO WORK. I STARTED THE CAR BUT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN SO I PULLED BACK INTO PARKING SPACE AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES-WAS ABLE TO STEER OK. UPON SMELLING GAS THIS WENT ON FOR SERVAL DAYS. I THOUGHT IT WAS FUMES FROM OTHER CARS. I WOULD SMELL GAS WHILE DRIVING IT. ONE DAY AS I PULLED UP TO WORK I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND NOTICED SOMETHING WET NEXT TO MY FRONT TIRE. I COULD SMELL GAS FUMES. I TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT DAY. SHOP TOLD ME THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE.

THE COMPANY WRAPPED A HEAT SHIELD FIBER AROUND A BARE METAL FUEL LINE CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE LINE IN THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION DUE TO RUST FROM THE TRAPPED MOISTURE. THE FUEL LINE BURSTS CAUSING A STEADY FLOW OF GASOLINE TO POUR FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE CAUSING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE CAR CONTINUES TO FUNCTION, LEAVING A TRAIL OF GASOLINE EVERYWHERE YOU GO. THE HEAT WRAP DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT THE BRAKE LINE DUE TO IT'S BLACK COATING. THE FUEL LINES SHOULD ALSO BE PROTECTED IN THIS AREA.

Mileage: 149,897

VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL STARTED OCCURRING THAT WAS NOTICEABLE EVEN AFTER LONG PERIODS AFTER PARKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION A FUEL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED ON THE OUTLET OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS INTEGRAL TO THE FUEL TANK. IT APPEARS THERE IS A CRACK OR SOME SORT OF DEFECT CAUSING THE EXTERIOR PIECE ON THAT FUEL PUMP TO FAIL. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 64,300 MILES ON IT.

MY VEHICLE, A 2006 CHEVY COBALT LT, LIKE MANY OTHER CHEVY COBALTS I'VE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH, HAS A FUEL LEAK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE NOT PINPOINTED THE EXACT LEAK LOCATION BUT I HAVE A PICTURE DISPLAYING THE FUEL LINE COVERED IN WHAT SEEMS LIKE AN ALUMINUM FOIL TO KEEP THE LINES FROM HEATING UP. CLEARLY THIS DOESN'T WORK.

ON 7-20-20 I SPOKE WITH STEPHANIE ( 1-800-222-1020) ON THE NHTSA SITE, WERE I GOT THE PHONE NUMBER. I TOLD HER I ENTERED MY VIN AND FOUND THERE WERE 6 RECALLS ON MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT. I EXPLAINED TO HER ON 7-15-20, I LEFT FOR WORK BUT NOTICED MY POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE OF THE STEERING. I WENT AND PURCHASED POWER STEERING FLUID, ONLY TO LEARN THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PUT IT. STEPHANIE AND I LOOKED AT THE RECALLS TOGETHER. WE DISCUSSED THE NUMEROUS RECALLS SHE SAW ALONG WITH ME. SHE SET-UP A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT HERE IN CONWAY, ARK WERE I NOW RESIDE FOR 7-23-20 @ 7:00AM. SUPERIOR DEALERSHIP. I ARRIVED AND (LISA) ASKED IF I HAD AN APPOINTMENT, I SAID YES. I TOLD HER WHAT MY ISSUE WAS AND SHE WENT INTO MY CAR AND PULLED OUT SOMETHING UNDER THE DASH. SHE HAD IN HER HAD SOMETHING SHE SAID WOULD LIGHT UP RED IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE ON A MACHINE IN ORDER TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEMS. SHE THEN TOLD ME THERE WERE THREE RECALLS ON THE CAR BUT THEY ALL HAD BEEN FIXED. AND STATED I WOULD BE CHARGED $ 150.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I EXPLAINED TO HER I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATIONS PERTAINING TO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. I CLEARLY SAW ON THE NHTSA SITE RECALLS FOR , THE GAS TANK WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING GAS. I REPLACED A FUEL THROTTLE BECAUSE WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY I LOST POWER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG BECAUSE IT IS SHOWING IT'S OFF, SO I KNOW IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IT WILL NOT DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THE RECALLS I SAW ON THE SITE WERE LEGIT RECALLS. I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW THEY DISAPPEARED FROM THE SITE WHEN I SHOWED UP FOR MY APPOINTMENT ONLY A FEW DAYS LATER. I WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $150 BECAUSE THEIR TECHS HAD TO BE PAID OR GET RID OF THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND SAW A HUGE PUDDLE OF FUEL DRIPPING DOWN ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. ONE OF THE LINES RIGHT AT THE FITTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED. THEY HAVE THIS ALREADY RECALLED, BUT ONLY IN 15 STATES AND MINE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. I WANT CHEVY TO ISSUE A 50 STATE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR COULD OF CAUGHT FIRE AND I COULD OF DIED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL FILTER TO THE FUEL RAIL IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE METAL TUBING RUSTED OUT AND CRACKED. THEY NEED TO BE STAINLESS STEEL NOT POT METAL. THEIR IS NO RECALL ON THOSE FUEL LINES, BUT I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS ONLY VIDEO OF IT DRIPPING.

I ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP OR MODULAR AND THEN ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO GO OFF EVEN WHEN THEY DID THOSE REPAIRS, THEN ONE DAY THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED TURNING OFF AFTER MAKING A TURN. THE NEWEST PROBLEM AND THE SCARIEST ONE TO ME IS NOW A GAS LEAK. I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY CAR, STARTED TO REVERSE AND THEN SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I STOPPED AND NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE ACTUALLY GOING DOWN. SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF HURRIED UP AND GOT MY KIDS OUT AND THEN SAW THE GAS POURING ON THE ROAD FROM UNDER MY CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS THAT I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. CHEVY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. IT'S THEIR CHEAP MISTAKES. THE ONLY REASON I HAVE CONTINUED TO KEEP THE CAR IS BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO MY LITTLE BROTHER WHO DIED IN A TRAGIC CAR CASH WITH HIS PREGNANT FIANC AND MY FATHER. SO I HAVEN'T WANTED TO PART WITH IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS RECALLS FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS ON OTHERS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. HOW IS THAT RIGHT? THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS AND THEY NEED TO FIX EVERYTHING CORRECTLY THIS TIME. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN AT THIS POINT.

THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" ISSUED (BULLETIN 12191B) INSTEAD FOR MY STATE WHICH STATES I CAN HAVE THIS CONCERN FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED I AM COVERED BY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE. THE DEALER HAS NOW DENIED TO DO THE WORK AND FORCED ME TO PAY FOR A TOW TO A DIFFERENT DEALER TO HAVE THE CONCERN FIXED, AS THEY REFUSED TO CARRY OUT THE REPAIR.

FUEL LINE RUSTED OUT ON DRIVERS SIDE BECAUSE OF HEAT WRAP

Mileage: 125,000

GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK PORTS WHERE INLET AND OR OUTLET HOSES ARE CONNECTED. THE LEAK ORIGINATES FROM THE TANK CONNECTION, NOT FROM ANY SPECIFIC HOSE. IT AMOUNTS TO A GRAVITY LEAK OF FUEL FROM THE TANK WHEN IT IS FULL OR NEARLY SO. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE #12191B TO MANAGE THE SAFETY DEFECT PRESUMABLY TO AVOID A NHTSA RECALL. MY VIN NUMBER, EVEN THOUGH IT FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE AFFECTED AND PRODUCTION TIME AND GEOGRAPHY, IS SAID TO BE NOT INCLUDED. SO WE HAVE FUEL LEAKING ONTO HOT EXHAUST PIPES INSIDE AN ENCLOSED GARAGE FROM A POORLY DESIGNED FUEL TANK AND FITTINGS. SEEMS TO BE A PR AND MONETARY EXPOSURE CHEVROLET WOULD NOT LIKE TO RISK. BUT STOCKHOLDERS RUN THE COMPANY NOW. THIS PROBLEM LIKELY ORIGINATED IN 2016 BASED ON REPORTS FROM OWNERS OF THE ENTIRE RUN OF COBALTS. THIS WILL KILL OWNERS AT SOME POINT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECENTLY PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM SOMEONE (PRIVATE OWNER) AND AS THE TAGS WILL SOON EXPIRE SO I DECIDE TO GET WHAT NEEDS MAINTENANCE DONE TO TURN THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF. I GOT A FREE ESTIMATE FROM O' REILLY'S AND TOLD ME TO GO TO CHEVY AND GET THE MAINTENANCE DONE TO MY SAFETY RECALLS. NEXT MORNING I DRIVE OVER TO CHEVY'S DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS DENIED ANY RECALL BEING DONE BY AN EMPLOYEE NAMED SEAN POPPLEWELL. I TOLD HIM TO PRINT ME OUT A PAPER OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE, NEEDING TO BE DONE AND ALSO TOOK IT UP WITH THE MANAGER. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMS I CANNOT BE DENIED FOR A MAINTENANCE BUT SEES THAT THE ONLY MAINTENANCE OPEN ONLINE IS A SERVICE UPDATE AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SALVAGED OR NOT. AS I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I AM BEING DENIED MY RIGHT TO A SAFETY RECALL, NOT ONLY BEING DENIED WHILE DRIVING MY 1 AND A HALF YEAR OLD SON, IN A VEHICLE WHO'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALLS THAT I AM BEING DENIED TO. I AM WITHIN MY RIGHT TO 10 YEARS AFTER THE RECALL IS DISTRIBUTED TO GET THE RECALL DONE WITHIN THAT TIME, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING ME TOO. THE CAR IS 100% DRIVEABLE BUT I NEED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF SO I AM NOT DENIED IN MY SMOG TEST. I WAS ALSO NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE LAW STATES THAT I AM NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A PREVIOUS OWNERS LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY, I WAS NOT AWARE, I'VE NEVER HAD RECEIVED PROPER NOTIFICATION I SHOULD NOT BE DENIED SERVICE. IT'S SAD TO KNOW THEY HAVE DENIED ME THESE RIGHTS IN FRONT OF MYSELF AND MY 1 AND A HALF YEAR OLD WHO IS IN THE CAR 24.7.

THE VEHICLE CAN MESS UP FROM EITHER DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY THAT THE ENGINE STALLS AND SAYS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE T/C LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN JUST 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, MORE FOR LONGER TRIPS. IT WILL EVEN DO IT IN 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT DRIVES FINE FOR MAYBE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN, OR, YOU CAN CONTINUE DRIVING IT WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD TRYING TO GET SPEED WHICH IF YOU DO THE CAR SHIFTS GEAR VERY BADLY AND RIDES ROUGH BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET TO WORK ON TIME YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TOO. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC 3 TIMES OVER THIS. THROTTLE BODY WAS CHANGED (TWICE), THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND CLEANED THE WIRES. ONE MECHANIC WAS THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED IT THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED TO BETTER DIAGNOSE THE SITUATION. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO LET THEM JUST KEEP MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. I BOUGHT IT USED. I HAVE A LOAN ON THE VEHICLE AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS ANY FURTHER THAN I HAVE TO BECAUSE I KNOW THE VEHICLE WILL MESS UP. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT I HAVE TO PUT IN THIS VEHICLE TO TAKE PLACES. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT HELP WITH THIS SITUATION!! THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2016. I DO NOT KNOW THE DAY SPECIFICALLY. I DO REMEMBER IT DID NOT FALL UNDER THE DEALERSHIPS WARRANTY THAT I GOT IT FROM.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OTHER STATES DIDN'T RECALL THIS ISSUE WHEN MANY OTHER STATES HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE? I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CAR YET NONE OF US ARE IN THE 2 STATES WITH THE RECALL. ALL STATES SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE!

THERE WAS A REGIONAL RECALL DONE ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ON MANY DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES. DUE TO A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC AROUND THE MODULAR CAUSED BY EXTREME HEAT EXPOSURE. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, IT LEAKS GAS AND FUMES, ALSO THERE IS A VERY PROMINENT GAS SMELL SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE HOURS AFTER BEING PARKED. I LIVE IN KENTUCKY, MY VIN IS BETWEEN THE VIN BREAKPOINTS ON THE RECALL BUT DUE TO MY REGION, I'M NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. GM TO SAVE MONEY HAS MADE A SPECIAL POLICY CONCERNING THIS ISSUE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND PAY FULLY BUT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A "SAFETY CONCERN" WHICH WAS SAID TO ME BY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE PAUL, IT WASN'T A DIRE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DIRECTLY STATED BY NHTSA, AND THE PART IN GENERAL SHOULD BE RECALLED COMPLETELY NOT JUST REGIONALLY. I AM NOW, DUE TO IT BEING MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION, UNTIL I CAN AFFORD A RENTAL, DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS LEAKING GAS AND FUMES DUE TO A FAULTY FACTORY PART PUT ON MY VEHICLE BY GM. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. CONSUMERS ARE IN DANGER AND DUE TO NOT BEING IN A CERTAIN "REGION" WE ARE RISKY OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS BECAUSE WE CAN NOT GET A FAIR RECALL DONE.

SMELLED GAS OUTSIDE AND INSIDE CAR WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. LOOKED UNDER CAR AND GAS WAS LEAKING FROM FUEL LINE IN FRONT OF DRIVER REAR TIRE. FUEL LINE IN CLOSE QUARTERS WITH EXHAUST AND WAS SPRAYING ONTO EXHAUST PIPE. CONTACTED DEALER TO CHECK ON PRICE OF REPAIR OR RECALL AND DEALER STATED THEY HAVE HAD MANY COBALTS SIMILAR YEAR WITH LEAKING FUEL LINE IN SAME LOCATION. STATED GM USED AN ABSORBENT HEAT WRAP ON THAT SECTION OF FUEL LINE AND THAT IS CORRODING THE LINE. COST FOR REPLACING LINES WAS OVER $800. I AM DECIDING ON REPAIR ROUTE DUE TO EXCESSIVE COST OF REPAIR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE IN GM'S END AND NEEDS THE FUEL LINE RECALLED. APPEARS BOTH LINES ARE LEAKING RIGHT BY EACH OTHER. THIS IS A FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD AND IS VERY COMMON. GM RECALLED THE FUEL PUMPS FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS BUT NOT THESE FAILING LINES? MY GARAGE KEPT LOW MILEAGE (97000) CAR SHOULD NOT NEED IT'S FUEL LINES REPLACED ALREADY, ESPECIALLY AT $800 PLUS.

WHILE OFF THE CAR JUST DRIPPED FUEL ABOUT 1 DROP EVERY 10 SECONDS. WHILE RUNNING AND STATIONARY IT WAS A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL POURING OUT.

I AM COPY/PASTING THE RECALL NOTICE. THIS IS HAPPENING IN A VEHICLE IN MISSISSIPPI. GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2006'2007 CHEVROLET COBALT, SATURN ION, AND PONTIAC G5 VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ARIZONA, NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, AND TEXAS BECAUSE OF A CRACK THAT COULD POSSIBLY DEVELOP ON THE PLASTIC SUPPLY OR RETURN PORT OF THE FUEL MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY. THIS CRACK COULD CAUSE A FUEL LEAK THAT COULD BE OBSERVED DRIPPING ONTO THE GROUND IN SOME CASES, CAUSING A POSSIBLE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE ISSUE AND A FIRE HAZARD. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE FREE OF CHARGE.

THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME 5 TIMES ALL AT DIFFERENT TIMES. ONE TIME I WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN CITY STREETS, TURNING CORNERS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR JUST START MY CAR AND THE GAUGES JUST GO NUTS. MY SECURITY LIGHT WILL COME ON MY FUEL GAUGE, RPM GAUGE. AND MPH GAUGE WILL JUST GO TO ZERO. THE RPM GAUGE BOUNCES UP TO 900-1000 THEN BACK TO ZERO. THE WORDS ON THE DASH WILL READ LOW FUEL (EVEN IF I ACTUALLY HAVE A FULL TANK) AND THEN IT'LL CUT MY POWER STEERING AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN AT ALL OR BARELY. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT DOING IT WHILE I WAS STATIONARY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HAS MADE ME ALMOST CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES. AND ONCE I ACTUALLY HIT A CURB IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT DECIDED TO HAPPEN.

RECENTLY STARTED TO NOTICE A FUEL ODOR EMANATING FROM UNDER VEHICLE ADJACENT TO THE REAR WHEELS, STARTED TO NOTICE APPX. TWO WEEKS AGO. I AM AWARE OF THE 2009 RECALL (GM-09226) REGARDING THE 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT FUEL SYSTEM (FUEL PUMP AND CRACKED FUEL LINES). SO FAR, THERE IS NOT ANY NOTICEABLE LIQUID GASOLINE, BUT THE ODOR IS PREVALENT, ESPECIALLY AFTER VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A VENTING ISSUE, BUT NOT SO SURE NOW. GAS CAP IS IN GOOD CONDITION. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN PA, THE 2009 RECALL DID NOT APPLY EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS IN THE RECALL RANGE. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2010, NO RECALL LETTER EVER RECEIVED BY GM. I HAD CALLED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TO VERIFY VIN AND IF IT WOULD APPLY, BUT WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT SLATED FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. VERY CONCERNED DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM REGARDING FUEL LEAKS. TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO TAKE TO CHEVROLET DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR GO TO A TRUSTED, LOCAL MECHANIC.

IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM RELATED TO SAFETY ON ALL CARS OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL NUMBER. SOMEHOW IF YOU LIVE OR BOUGHT THE CAR IN CERTAIN STATES YOUR SAFETY IS NOT IMPORTANT.

HI, LIKE MANY COMPLAINS MY CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN SMELLING LIKE GAS EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. I'M REALLY CONCERNED, I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL/SPECIAL COVERAGE ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. HOWEVER, I CALLED THE LOCAL GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL. I THEN WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS ARTICLE HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM435709/RCMN-12V459-5432.PDF IN WHICH SAYS THAT ALL VIN NUMBERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED, WHAT CAN I DO SO THAT GM FIXES THIS ? CAN I GET A SPECIAL CASE NUMBER TO HAVE THIS DONE, GM WON'T GIVE ME ONE. I'M TERRIBLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR, YET I HAVE TO COMMUTE TO COLLEGE EVERYDAY. PLEASE HELP!

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY RECALLS ON MY MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR (2006 CHEVY COBALT). THE MOST CURRENT ISSUE I AM HAVING IS A GAS LEAK NEAR THE TANK (REAR PASSENGER SIDE). FOR SOME REASON, THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT MY PARTICULAR CAR, BASED ON WHERE IT IS REGISTERED IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. I LIVE IN KANSAS, I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OKLAHOMA. OKLAHOMA-REGISTERED VEHICLES ARE COVERED, KANSAS-REGISTERED VEHICLES ARE NOT CURRENTLY. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE AND QUICK BEFORE MY CAR EXPLODES.

I KEPT SMELLING A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR AND SAW GAS DROPS UNDER MY CAR. WHEN DRIVING, CAR WOULD FEEL SHAKY LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD SHAKE VERY HARD AND THEN IT WOULD ACTUALLY STALL. IT STARTED OUT AS A LEAKY FUEL LINE BUT TURNED INTO BOTH FUEL LINES SNAPPING OFF THE FUEL PUMP. I HAD IT REPAIRED IN JUNE, 2016. THERE IS A "SILENT RECALL" ON THIS PART, BUT NOT FOR MICHIGAN CARS (WHY NOT MICHIGAN CARS.. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM .. THE STALLING ISSUE AND THE FIRE ISSUE). ALTHOUGH THIS "SILENT RECALL" OR THE "SPECIAL WARRANTY" GM ISSUED TO COVER THIS PART DOES NOT EXPIRE, THE TIME TO GET REIMBURSED EXPIRED IN 2014, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. MY CAR DIDN'T BREAK UNTIL 2016, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FILE A CLAIM 2 YEARS PRIOR TO IT BREAKING?

FUEL LINE LEAK

I WAS DRIVING AND SMELLED GASOLINE. I PARKED AND FOUND IT DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR. TOOK IT TO A FIRESTONE AUTO REPAIR AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF GM CARS AND TRUCKS. A WEB SEARCH CONFIRMED THIS TO BE TRUE. I BELIEVE THAT FUEL LINES SHOULD NOT RUST AND LEAK GAS ON A CAR WITH ONLY 96,000 MILES ON IT. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $992. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HAZARDOUS AND LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY A NATIONAL RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

GAS SMELL OMITTING FROM UNDER THE BODY INTO THE CAR . CAR IS STATIONARY THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME , UNLESS ON MY WAY TO WORK . USUALLY TAKING CITY STREETS TO WORK . CAR IS PARKED AT HOME IN THE GARAGE.

WE HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT WITH 81000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE BELONGED TO MY FATHER WHO IN TURN SAVED IT FOR MY SON. THE PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING IS THAT WE SAVED THIS VEHICLE SO THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD STARTER CAR FOR MY SON BUT WE HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS UNSAFE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP FOR SOME WORK TO BE DONE ON THE CAR FOR THE FRONT STRUTS TO FIND OUT THAT IT HAS A GAS LEAK. UNKNOWN AS TO HOW LONG THE LEAK HAVE BEEN GOING ON. ONCE FINDING THAT INFORMATION OUT WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER TO SEE ABOUT A RECALL ON THE CAR. TURNS OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL #090226 FOR THE LEAK BUT FOR THE FUEL PUMP BUT NOT FOR THE FUEL LINE. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT TECH THAT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE OCCURED OTHER THAN BEING OUTSIDE OR WHAT TYPE OF LANDING THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON. I'VE HAD 3 DIFFERENT VEHICLES & NEVER HAD A FUEL LINE LEAKAGE PROBLEM LET ALONE HAVING ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE BY BEING OUTSIDE OR BEING PARKED ON THE STREET. NOW IF THE FUEL LINE & FUEL PUMP WORK HAND IN HAND WHY WOUNDN'T THE FUEL LINE BE APART OF THIS RECALL. AS A CUSTOMER, I DO BELIEVE THAT IF THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP THEN THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL LINE IN ORDER FOR THE PARTS TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE CUSTOMERS WOULD BE RIDING AROUND WITH A MAJOR HAZARD & WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IT UNTIL THEY WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY RESULT IN BEING FATAL. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS COMPANY WOULD RECALL ONLY 1 PART OF THE ISSUE & NOT THE ENTIRE ISSUE. JUST ANOTHER WAY OF DISMISSING THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT THIS COMPANY HAS INCURRED OVER THE YEARS.

MY CAR FALLS UNDER THE 09V419 RECALL. I BEGAN SMELLING STRONG FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE THE 2006 COBALT. I BROUGHT IT INTO CHEV DEALER TO CHECK FOR FUEL PUMP MODULE RECALL. THEY INFORMED ME THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WAS NOT THE ISSUE, INSTEAD THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTED OUT AND LEAKING...TECH COMMENTS "FOUND BOTH THE PRESSURE AND RETURN LINES ARE VERY RUSTY AND LEAKING FUEL". VEHICLE HAS APPROX 121,000 MILES. COST TO REPAIR WILL BE $755.00. IT WOULD APPEAR THE FUEL LINES ARE FAULTY/POOR CONSTRUCTION OR THE RUST-PROOFING IS POOR. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY PREVALENT IN THIS MODEL. PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALER DOES NOT PLAN TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE DESPITE MY VIN # BEING WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE CARS AFFECTED AND SAFETY RECALL REPORT SPECIFIES THAT THE ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE WITH DEFECT IF 100%.

THE MECHANIC WAS NICE ENOUGH TO REMIND ME ABOUT CERTAIN RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL FROM CHEVY. WHEN I LOOK AT THE RECALLS, THE PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS LISTED, BUT FOR SOME REASON, CHEVY MADE IT REAL CONVENIENT TO SAY THAT ONLY CERTAIN CHEVY COBALTS 2006 WERE GOING TO BE FIXED. AS I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER TO CHECK IT, MINE STATES THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR. MY CAR FITS ALL THE CRITERIA, WHY IS IT THAT MINE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, IF MY CAR DID NOT "QUALIFY" FOR THE RECALL, THEN WHAT 2006 CHEVY COBALTS QUALIFIED FOR THE GAS LEAK REPAIR? IT SEEMS AS THOUGH, WE THE CONSUMERS, HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM CHEVY CREATED BY USING CHEAP PARTS. VERY UPSET. WE ARE NOT PURCHASING ANOTHER CHEVY CAR AGAIN.

I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE MODELS IN OUR SHOP AND BOTH BEING 2006 MODELS. THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTING OUT AT THE SUPPORT CLAMP NEAR THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS LOCATION IS ABOUT 4 INCHES FROM THE EXHAUST. FUEL SPRAYS ON TO EXHAUST AND VAPORIZES. THIS ALLOWS FUMES TO ENTER THE INTERIOR OF VEHICLE. FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND CAUSING DRIVER TO BECOME WEAK AND DROWSY. THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT IS HIGHER THEN THAT OF A POLITICIAN ACTUALLY DOING THEIR JOB.... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.

FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING FUEL LOOKING UP RECALL ON MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT AND FOUND THEY ACCEPT RECALLS FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULAR LEAKING FUEL BUT NOT ACCEPTED IN MY STATE OF KS MY VIN NUMBER FALLS INBETWEEN THE NUMBERS ARE BEING RECALLED THE SMELL OF FUEL IS OVERWHELMING AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

I LIVE IN BUFFALO, NY SO THIS IS MORE OF A PROBLEM THAN NOT. DURING THE COLD MONTHS WENT HE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW 20 DEGREES THE CAR FAILS TO START. I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, SPARK PLUGS, INTAKE, MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, AND BATTERY. I WILL BE TRYING THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEXT. THE CAR WILL CRANK STRONG, AND CONTINUE TO CRANK FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IT WILL THEN STOP, AND BEGIN TO CRANK AGAIN WHEN THE KEY IS AGAIN TURNED. HOWEVER THE CAR NEVER TURNS OVER. THE ONLY THING I CAN IMAGINE IS THAT SOMETHING IS COMMUNICATING WITH THE ECM OR ECU, NOT TO START. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN IT IS VERY COLD OUT AS I PURCHASED THE CAR IN LATE SEPTEMBER, THEREFORE I HAVE TO EXPERIENCE WITH THE VEHICLE IN WARM TEMPERATURES. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH A STRONG FUEL SMELL AND WITNESSED A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS LEAKING UNDER THE CAR. LOOKING UNDER THE CAR I FOUND CORRODED FUEL LINES ON A PLASTIC CHASSIS BRACKET. SINCE THE LINES COME FROM THE PUMP RUNNING FORWARD UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE, THIS IS A REAL FIRE HAZARD. THE FUEL LINES ARE ONLY A FEW INCHES FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. UPON IGNITION THIS COULD IGNITE A FIRE. SEVERAL ONLINE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO RECALL FORUMS MENTIONING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE COBALT MODEL.IN THE PASSED THEIR HAS BEEN A RECALL, BUT ONLY FOR THE FUEL PUMP,NOT INCLUDING THE FUEL LINES. ALSO, MANY INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE WENT TO THE CHEVROLET DEAL TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY REFUSE TO FIX ANY UNLESS I PAY $600 OR MORE FOR THE FUEL LINES.THE FUEL LINES ARE NOT EVEN INCLUDED INTO ANY WARRANTY, YET THE FUEL PUMP IS. SINCE THERE HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE, THE MATERIALS ARE OBVIOUSLY PROBLEMATIC AND NEED TO BE RECALLED OR REVISED. *TR

I HAVE A SERIOUS LEAK IN MY FUEL TANK. THE LOCATION OF THIS LEAK IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE REAR TIRE. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG IT CAN BE SMELLED OVER 50FT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LITERALLY HAD GAS LEAK ONTO A FRIENDS HAND WHEN THEY LEANED DOWN TO CHECK FOR A LEAK. I MYSELF AM A 24 YEAR OLD FEMALE, MY PASSENGERS ON A DAILY BASIS INCLUDE A 24 YEAR OLD MALE, AND TWO CHILDREN ONE OF WHICH IS MY FOUR YEAR OLD SON AND A FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILIES AS WELL AS FRIENDS ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY! I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AS WELL! YOU HAVE A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE BUT ONLY LIMITED TO A FEW SPECIFIC STATES! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, I HAVE READ REPORTS OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME WITH THIS CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMETHING HORRIFIC HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO IS EITHER IN OR NEAR THESE VEHICLES! *TR

OUR 2006 CHEVY COBALT VIN WAS TOOK IN FOR REPAIR IN NOV 2013, WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED A STARTER BUT NEVER WHY, IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS A GAS LEAK,WE FOUND OUT IN AUG 2014 WHEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. AGAIN OCT 2014 THE AUTO DID THE SAME THING WE WERE TOLD THE REST OF THE RECALL PARTS WERE IN AND TO BRING IT IN, ALL THE TIME WE WERE DRIVING A UNSAFE CAR ND WAS NEVER TOLD. WE TOOK THE CAR IN NOV 2014 WITH ONLY THE BATTERY LIGHT ON A NEW BATTERY (LESS THAN 48 HRS OLD AND THE 3RD ONE IN A YEAR). WHEN GOT THE CAR BACK THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WAS ON AND THE T/C LIGHTS WERE ON THE SPEED ODOMETER NOR GAS HAND WORKS, NOR A/C AND HEAT, BUT THEY REPLACED THE FUSE WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK. THE CAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND IS REALLY LOUD. THEY HAS US TO BRING IT BACK AND DID NOT AGAIN DO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST JUST SAY IN HIS OPINION THE AUTO NEEDS A NEW POWER STEERING MONITOR (POWER STEERING AFTER RECALL REPLACEMENT WENT OUT, DRIVES SLUGGISH LIKE IT IS GOING TO STOP IN TRAFFIC LIKE IT DID BEFORE THE RECALLS BUT WORSE. IT IS AS LOUD AS A 5TH WHEELER TRUCK, THEREFORE IT IS HARD TO HEARD EMERGENCY VEHICLES. NONE OF THESE SAFETY MATTER OR ISSUES WERE OCCURRING BEFORE THE RECALL PARTS WERE PUT ON. THE CAR WOULD STOP BUT WOULD START UP AND DRIVE HOWEVER IT HAD NONE OF THE PROBLEMS. THE AUTO WE ARE TOLD IF WE DRIVE LESS THAN 15 MPH WILL BE UNCONTROLLABLE. WE CANNOT CONTROL THE SPEED NOW THEREFORE IT NOW DRIVES AT THE SLUGGISH GEAR. WE ARE SENIORS AND ARE AFRAID OF THE CAR. WE DID NOT KNOW THE DANGER OF RECALL BECAUSE THE CARDS ONLY STATED THE NAME OF THE PART. THE CAR AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED WOULD DRIVE BUT IN NO WAY HAS THESE PROBLEMS. THE STARTER PUT ON LAST YEAR IS AM EXAMPLE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE HIDDEN FROM US THEY REPLACED THE STARTER WE PAID FOR IT AND NEVER TOLD US IT WAS CAUSE BY A RECALL GAS LEAK UNTIL IT HAPPEN AGAIN IN AUG 2013. I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT THIS TIME AND THE LAST TIME AND THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN RECALL ISSUES. *TR

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO EMIT AN ODOR OF FUEL WHEN PARKED, NOT RUNNING. A FEW DAYS LATER A VISIBLE PUDDLE OF FUEL WAS UNDER THE BODY OF THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN RECURRING EVERY DAY SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. NOW A VISIBLE LEAK FROM ABOVE THE FUEL TANK CAN BE SEEN DRIPPING FUEL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN MILDLY HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN YOU WOULD STOP AT A LIGHT OR PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUTOFF. I GOT THE LETTER ON THE RECALL AND IT DEFINITELY GAVE ME ANXIETY DRIVING THE CAR ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE TO TRAVEL 180 MILES QUITE OFTEN FOR MY KIDS. I HAD THE RECALL FIXED AND YET STILL HAD THE MINOR PROBLEM. I SAY MINOR ONLY BECAUSE IT DID NOT CAUSE ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN AT THAT TIME. ALSO NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ACTING RIGHT WITH THE TWO KEYS THEY GAVE ME SOMETIMES IT WOULD START AND SOMETIMES IT LOCKED UP. BUT NOT EVERY TIME. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT I WENT TO LUNCH AND MY KEY GOT LOCKED IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. FIGURING I TRUST BE THE BATTERY I WENT BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY BUT THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED TO GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT CODED FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE FUSE BOX. BUT THEN CALLED ME BACK AND SAID IT WAS THE FUSE BOX AND THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND THE FUEL PRESSURE CENSOR. I TRIED TO TRADE IT IN AND THE VALUE OF A CAR I BOUGHT JUST A YEAR AND A HALF AGO FOR 11,999 IS NOW ONLY WORTH 3000.00 EVEN TO THE MAKER OF THE CAR I WOULD BE STUCK PAYING ON A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE STILL AND MAKES IT TO WHERE I CANNOT GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

HI THERE ABOUT TWO THREE WEEKS AGO I STARTED SMELLING FUEL EVERY TIME I GOT OUT OF MY CAR. MY HUSBAND CHECKED AND IT LOOKS THERE IS A HOLE IN THE GAS TANK THAT OR THE TUBE THAT ALLOWS THE GAS TO FLOW IS CRACKED. I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT ONLY IN VEHICLES THAT ARE IN NEVADA,ARIZONA AND TEXAS.I AM NOT DRIVING THE CAR CURRENTLY DUE TO SAFETY REASONS. EVERY TIME GAS IS PUT IN THE CAR YOU CAN HEAR IT LEAKING OUT THE BOTTOM. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS. CAN SOME ONE HELP ME?? THANK YOU.

GAS LEAKS FROM TOP OF GAS TANK, CAN CAUSE FIRE, AND THROTTLE SWITCH CAUSES ENGINE TO LOOSE POWER, I HAVE HAD IT CLEANED AND IT WORKS, BUT NOW I HAVE SECOND COBALT, AND IT DOES THE SAME THING WITH THROTTLE SWITCH CAUSING CAR TO RUN UNDER 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE POWER REDUCTION CAN CAUSE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND THE LEAKY GAS TANK CAN CATCH FIRE. SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE ASAP. *TR

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD IT MAYBE A GAS LEAK, BUT NO GAS RESIDUE WAS FOUND ON THE GROUND THEN I WAS TOLD MY GAS CAP MAY NEED TO BE REPLACE. SO I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD MY GAS CAP, TRANSMISSION AND BATTERY WAS GOOD. YOU CAN WALK PASS MY CAR ANYTIME OF THE DAY WITHOUT IT BEEN CRANKED UP AND SMELL GAS. I DONE DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEN THEIR WAS A PAST RECALL SIMILAR TO THIS BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED IN THE PAST. (I GUESS WAY BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE) BUT NOW IM ALSO SEEING IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE ISSUE, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT AND SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY NOT DO A RECALL ON IT? I DONE PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR AND ONLY HAD IT 16 MONTHS, THIS IS RIDICULOUS, FRUSTRATING AND DEFINITELY NOT SAFE. PRETTY SURE NOT GOOD FOR ME AND MY KIDS HEALTH AND THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AS WELL. *TR

I HAVE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE CAR AND FIND THAT IT IS COMING FROM THE AREA OF THE GAS TANK. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FIND THAT CERTAIN COBALT MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS MATTER. WHERE THE SEAL AROUND THE FUEL PUMP CRACKS AND LEAKS. HOWEVER I AM TOLD THAT FOR SOME REASON MY COBALT MODEL IS NOT IN RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION. WHY NOT. IF SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM THEN OBVIOUSLY THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED WITH THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I GO ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED WITH THIS LEMON OF A CAR. *TR

BOLTWELL EVER SINCE WE HAD GOTTEN THIS CHEVY COBALT WE ARE HAVING PROBES BAD IT IS BAD.YES WE GOT A WARRANTY. SO WE TAKE IT BACK SO THEY CAN FIX IT SO THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK. WELL THEY CALLED US TO COME GET IT WELL WE DID AND THEY TOLD US THEY COULDN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T MAKE NO PROFIT OFF OF IT THEY DID AND. SO THEY HAD A WHITE TRUCK OUT THERE WITH MORE MILES. SO WE ASK FOR IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO IT. AND NOW THE WARRANTY WENT UP YESTERDAY SO NOW WE ARE STUCK AND IT COST. US TO 50 DOLLARS A DAY TO DRIVE IT COSTTHIRTY MILES .AND USE IT TO TAKE MY GRANDMA BACK AND FORTH TO THE CLINIC AND IT MAKES HER VERY SICK PLEASE HELP US GET WHAT WE ARE PAYING FOR OR WHAT WE WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THAT IS A SMALL TRUCK WE DON'T CARE IT CAN BE THE SAME MILEAGE AND EVERY THING AND THIS PLACE IS A IN BOWIE AND IT'S LIPSCOMBS AND I PREFER NOT GOING BACK THERE IF I CAN KEEP FROM IT I RECORDED THEM TELLING US THAT AND EVERYTHING AND I HAD ALL READY GOT THE CAR AND EVERY THING YOU CAN TELL WHAT THEY CHECKED TO BECAUSE IT IS STILL HANGING FROM THE CAR PLEASE CONTACT ME MY GRANDMA IS 82 YRS OLD SHE HAS TO MAKE IT TO HER APPOINTMENTS PLEASE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH EVERY PART THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED A RECALL SO FAR AND THEN SOME. THE LATEST ISSUE IS THAT MY CAR IS LEAKING GASOLINE UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS IN 2009, BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES IN CERTAIN STATES, IN WHICH I DO NOT RESIDE. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY IGNITION FOR SEVERAL YEARS, SO IT IS GOOD NEWS THAT A RECALL HAS COME UP FOR IT. BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP, I HAD NO POWER STEERING FOR SIX MONTHS PRIOR. I THINK THAT IT IS REPULSIVE THAT GM CAN MANUFACTURE THIS CAR AND JUST ISSUE RECALL AFTER RECALL WITH NO CONSEQUENCE. *TR

MY CAR WAS PART OF THE GM RECALL FOR THE INCORRECT IGNITION SWITCHES. IT WAS RETURNED TO ME ON JULY 23RD, FIXED OR SO I WAS TOLD WITH A NEW IGNITION TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOWEVER WITHIN A WEEK OF HAVING THE CAR BACK, IT WAS DOING THE SAME AS BEFORE THE RECALL FIX WAS DONE. SLIPPING INTO ACCESSIBILITY MODE AND NOT GIVING ME ANY OPTION TO HIT THE GAS, ONLY PULL OFF IF I WAS ABLE, TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN BACK ON AND GO. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I WAS GOING UPWARDS OF 40 MPH. THE LAST FEW TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED WAS PULLING FROM MY STREET INTO A BUSY STREET WITH TRAFFIC GOING UPWARDS OF 55 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OFF AS QUICKLY AS I COULD ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE CAR, BACK ON AGAIN AND GO MEANWHILE HOPING TO NOT BE HIT. I CONTACTED GM AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT MY RECALLED PART WAS FIXED AND THIS HAD TO BE ANOTHER ISSUE. HOWEVER, IT'S THE EXACT ISSUE THAT HAPPENED BEFORE MY CAR WAS FIXED. I'M 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND OFTEN DRIVE WITH MY 16 MONTH OLD SON IN THIS CAR WITH ME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT AND CANNOT JUST GO PURCHASE A NEW CAR. I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER TO FIND OUT IF THERE ARE MORE ISSUES AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL FIX. *TR

WE CAN SMELL GAS COMING FROM THE CAR. WE CAN'T EVEN PUT OUR VEHICLE IN OUR GARAGE BECAUSE IT SMELLS UP THE WHOLE HOUSE LIKE GASOLINE. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT APART AND SAID THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP. I WENT ON LINE AND NOTICE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES. WHY IS THAT? WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT IN AUGUST 2012 I NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP AND THEY FOUND THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS CRACKED. LUCKILY WE CAUGHT THE PROBLEM EARLY AND FUEL HAD NOT BEEN LEAKING REALLY BAD AND WE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. DUE TO THE NEWEST RECALLS ON THE COBALT I DECIDED TO LOOK INTO PREVIOUS RECALLS ON THE CAR AND SAW THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM IN 2009 ON THE COBALT BUT ONLY FOR CARS REGISTERED/BOUGHT IN 5 STATES(ILLINOIS NOT BEING ONE). WE FIND THAT TO BE EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. ALL THE COBALT MODEL YEARS HAVE A RECALL ON A FAULTY FUEL PUMP PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR CARS BOUGHT AND REGISTERED IN 5 STATES THAT'S JUST CRAZY. IF A CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED UNSAFE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A RECALL IN FIVE STATES WHY WAS IT NOT DONE FOR ALL THE STATES/ALL THE COBALT'S. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT SS SUPERCHARGED STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN FEB 2013 DRIVING THE HWY THE CAR WOULD JOLT AS IF IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS SAME THING OCCURRED ON APRIL 2013. THE BIG PROBLEM HAPPENED SEPT 2013, DRIVING 75 ON THE FWY MY COBALT STARTED TO JOLT AND LOOSE POWER AND THE SPEED STARTED SLOWING DOWN ALL THE WAY TO 30MPG I WAS BARLEY ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY THROUGH TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ONCE PULLED OVER MY COBALT DIDN'T WANT TO START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 100 FEET AND SLOW DOWN THEN TURN OFF. SINCE THEN MY COBALT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. AT LOW RPM'S IT DIES OFF. SINCE THAT DAY MY BOOST GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. MY MPG'S HAVE DRAMATICALLY FELL ABOUT 10, ILL FILL UP HALF THE TANK AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT DROPS TO EMPTY. ALSO WHILE DRIVING WHEN I HIT POT HOLES THE CAR TURNS OFF. IT HAS A HARD TIME STARTING UP. I'VE READ THROUGH THE FORUMS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS YET AND IF NOT WHO NOT?! WOULDN'T YOU THINK CARS FAILING ON THE FWY IS A MAJOR RED FLAG? *TR

MY VEHICLE SMELLS OF GASOLINE AND HAS BEEN LEAKING LIKE CRAZY. I AM GETTING LESS THAN 17 MILES PER GALLON AND LOSING A TON OF GAS DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL IN EVERY STATE AND NOT JUST A FEW. IF IT IS RECALLED ON ANY 2006 CHEVY COBALT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL OF THEM NO MATTER WHAT THE STATE. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND THEREFORE ITS STATED THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT HERE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS AND IN GM FOR SELLING A CAR WITH AS MANY RECALLS AS THE COBALT HAS AND ONLY CHOOSING VERY FEW STATES FOR THE RECALL TO BE GRANTED. I USED TO BE A HUGE GM FAN BUT, NOW AFTER HAVING AS MANY ISSUES AS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR AND LIVING IN MICHIGAN NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER RECALL, I NO LONGER FEEL THE SAME, IN FACT I AM STRONGLY THINKING OF GOING FOREIGN. THANKS GM FOR LETTING DOWN YET ANOTHER CUSTOMER. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WHEN YOU WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS EVERYWHERE AND NOT JUST IN CERTAIN STATES. THIS IS YOUR FAULT THAT THE CAR IS SO FAULTY AND I THINK YOU SHOULD STAND UP AND OWN UP TO IT AND FIX THE CHEVY COBALT'S NO MATTER WHAT STATE THEY ARE IN. HOW DOES IT EVEN MATTER WHAT STATE A PERSON IS IN ANYWAYS A DEFAULT PART IS A DEFAULT PART, ISN'T IT? *TR

I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THE SMELL OF GAS FROM MY CAR FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I SAW A PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD THE FUEL LINE IS LEAKING DUE TO A PART THE MANUFACTURER PLACED ON THE VEHICLE THAT IS DEFECTIVE AND RUSTED. UPON DOING FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS ISSUED A RECALL BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES, NONE OF WHICH ARE MINE. I FEEL THIS RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL VEHICLES. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHAT STATE, AS IT IS OBVIOUS THIS DEFECT IS AFFECTING VEHICLES IN ALL STATES. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR AS IT IS DUE TO THE FAULTY MANUFACTURING. *TR

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MAY OF 2011 I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. IN MARCH OF 2012 MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DUE TO A RECALL FROM SEVERAL YEARS EARLIER, WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WASN'T REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR ESPECIALLY IF I BOUGHT IF FROM A DEALERSHIP. IN JANUARY OF 2013 MY GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY WENT OUT LUCKILY AFTER I WAS DONE DRIVING AND IN THE PROCESS OF PARKING WHICH RESULTED IN MY KEYS GETTING LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. A MONTH LATER MY SWITCH BOARD STOPPED WORKING IN MY STEERING WHEEL WHICH TURNS OFF MY SIGNALS WHEN I TURN AND MY KEYS STILL OCCASIONALLY GET LOCKED IN MY IGNITION. MY O2 SENSOR JUST WENT OUT, SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE CAR I LEARNED ONE OF MY VALVE COVERS IS LEAKING OIL, AND I JUST REPLACED MY IGNITION COIL PACK! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANY LONGER ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW RECALL ABOUT THE IGNITION. THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING IT. I SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES WHEN I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD RECALL THE WHOLE CAR. I TRIED TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN FEBRUARY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY SENT ME AWAY AND SAID TO WAIT TO RECEIVE SOMETHING IN THE MAIL TO SEE IF MY CAR QUALIFIES. SERIOUSLY??? I'M NOT SURE WHAT ACTIONS I SHOULD TAKE TO ENSURE MY SAFETY. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS CAR THAT HAS EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD FAILING ALL AT ONCE! EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS CAR I AM PUTTING MYSELF IN DANGER. ANY INFORMATION BACK WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

ONCE I WAS ABLE TO I LOOKED UP THE INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS INDEED A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS PARTICULAR REASON AND MANY CONSUMERS WERE UPSET ABOUT IT. I CALLED GMC AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP AND I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT ALTHOUGH IT WAS WITHIN THE TEN YEAR LIMIT IT WAS OVER 120,000 MILES AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR IS EIGHT YEARS OLD AND THE CHANCES OF ANY VEHICLE THAT OLD BEING UNDER 120,000 MILES IS ABSURD!

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE FACED SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE A PART WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME WAS NHSTA COMPLAIN #10419243 FILED ON 08/12/2011. AT THE TIME, I ISSUED A COMPLAINT AFTER HAVING TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN THE PORT ON TOP OF THE PUMP THAT IS SITUATED ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. ON 3/11/2012 THE REPLACEMENT PUMP ALSO FAILED IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT. AT THE TIME, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. I LATER LEARNED THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING ALL OVER THE ROAD UNDER MY CAR. AFTER BEING TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT THE SAME PART HAD FAILED AGAIN. THOUGH THE MECHANIC TRIED TO FIND THE PART ITSELF, HE SOON LEARNED IT IS NOT SOLD SEPARATELY AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PUMP.THIS TIME IS WAS OVER $600 TO REPLACE IT AND TOGETHER WITH THE $85.00 TOW BILL, I HAVE NOW SPENT OVER $1100 ON A KNOWN DEFECT THAT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL IF I LIVED IN ONE OF THE STATES WHERE A RECALL FOR THIS PART IS IN EFFECT.

I WAS NEVER ISSUED A NOTICE BY GM ABOUT THIS RECALL . THE ONLY WAY I DID FIND OUT ABOUT IT WAS THAT MY SISTER OWNS A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND SHE RECEIVED ONE. SHE ALSO LIVES IN AND BOUGHT HER CAR IN FLORIDA. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD HAVE SENT ME A NOTICE AND ALSO THAT THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS I HAD TO INCUR ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

I STARTED NOTICING A SMELL OF FUEL FROM MY VEHICLE BUT DID NOT SEE A LEAK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO NOTICED A LEAK, THEY WERE THEN ABLE TO VERIFY THAT THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE PIECE WAS BROKEN WHICH MEANS THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED A RECALL ON THE 2006 CHEVY COBALT BECAUSE OF FUEL PUMP ISSUES. IN A GM RECALL BULLETIN I LOCATED ONLINE DATED JAN. 2010 BULLETIN # 09226, STATED THAT THE VEHICLES AFFECTED HAD VIN # WITH THE LAST 8 DIGITS BETWEEN 67600011 AND 67887442. MY VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER FALLS BETWEEN THOSE TWO NUMBERS BUT ACCORDING TO A CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT, WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE RECALL ON THE FAULTY PART, MY VIN # IS NOT VALID FOR THE RECALL. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC TO GET FIXED BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOTHING ELSE. I AM WRITING YOU BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMPS ON THE 2006 CHEVROLET COBALTS. ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

MY AIR FUEL RATIOS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE AS WELL AS MY SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM FUEL TRIM. WHICH INDICATES THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE IS NOT CORRECT OR CONSTANT. THIS COULD BE A LEAK. HOWEVER THERE ARE RECALLS OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT FALLS UNDER MY VIN NUMBER BUT NOT MY STATE.

MY CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE, AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. THE SMELL WAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS DIDN'T START TILL THE TEMPERATURE HERE IN VA WAS OVER 100 DEGREES. I WAS TOLD COULD OF BEEN THAT MY GAS CAP WAS NOT VENTING PROPERLY. THE GAS SMELL BECAME SO INTENSE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE CAR EVEN AFTER I REPLACED THE GAS CAP. I HAVE RECEIVED PRICES OF 650.00 TO OVER 1000.00 TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP REPLACED (ALL ONE UNIT) ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR SHOPS. I THINK THAT WE ELECT OFFICIALS TO OFFICE AND THEY SHOULD MAKE GM FIX THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS (ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL) IN ALL STATES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED...OH YEA THAT'S RIGHT THEY GOT A BAIL OUT---WE ARE JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOES BUYING VEHICLES FROM THEM PUTTING MONIES IN THEIR POCKETS AND THEY WONT FIX WHAT IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT CAN AND WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE WHEN THEIR CAR CATCHES ON FIRE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COBALT. I SEEN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE RECALL # 090226. THE RECALL WAS A FEW YRS AGO BEFORE I OWED MY CAR, BUT I HAVE SMELLED FUEL AND NOW ITS LEAKING FUEL UNDERNETH MY CAR. WHEN I SEEN THE RECALL I WENT TO CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID BECAUSE MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT A FEW YRS AGO THAT THEY WONT HONOR THE RECALL. I DONT UNDERSTAND THAT.. JUST BECAUSE IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT DOESNT MEAN THAT THE GAS LEAK ISNT BECAUSE OF THERE MISTAKE WHEN MAKING MY CAR!! IT FORSURE ISNT FROM AN ACCIDENT YRS BEFORE, THE CAR HAS BEEN FINE AFTER . IM NOT SURE IF THERES ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME OUT OR ANYWAY I CAN HAVE THEM HONOR THE RECALL AND FIX MY CAR LIKE IT SAYS THEY WILL FIX FREE OF CHARGE IN RECALL, BUT ITS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS WAY AND CAN CATCH ON FIRE, LIKE I SAID IT WAS THERE MISTAKE WHEN MAKING CAR, AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. I CANT AFFORD TO.. I JUST THINK THEY FIND ANY EXCUSS THEY CAN TO GET OUT OF ADMITTING TO FAULT. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME LET ME KNOW. THANKS. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT HAS A SAFETY RECALL THAT REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE BUT CHEVY IS ONLY REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS, MINE IS NOT INCLUDED AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF SMELLING GAS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK AND MY CAR IS BEGINNING TO LEAK FUEL. OBVIOUSLY THIS PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THEN CHEVY IS WILLING TO RECOGNIZE AND I DON'T FEEL IT IS FAIR THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED WHEN GM/CHEVROLET OBVIOUSLY KNOWS THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON THE CHEVY COBALT IN OTHER STATES FOR THE FUEL PUMP. DUE TO HEAT THE FUEL PUMP CRACKS AND LEAKS FUEL WHICH COULD CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION. WE LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA AND HAVE HAD HIGH TEMPERATURES AND OUR CARS FUEL PUMP CRACKED CAUSING CAR TO STALL AND GAS LEAKING AROUND AREA. BECAUSE WE DON'T LIVE IN ONE OF THE STATES THAT IT WAS RECALLED IN THEY WILL NOT FIX OUR CAR. IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH AND TO MY UNDERSTANDING THE ONES THEY RECALL THEY FIX WITH THE SAME PLASTIC THAT WILL CRACK AGAIN. SHOULDN'T A RECALL BE FOR ALL COBALTS IF ALL THE COBALTS ARE DOING THIS OR A WARNING LABEL THAT SAYS ONLY BUY THE CAR IF YOU LIVE IN A COLD OR COOL CLIMATE. I CAN'T SEE HOW CHEVY IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS LET ALONE FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PART! *TR

I WAS TOLD THAT IT WON'T BE COVERED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT FROM A PARTICULAR STATE WHERE THE RECALL COVERS THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A WEEK OF TRYING TO GET ANSWERS FROM GM TO FIND OUT WHY THE RECALL DOESN'T COVER THE PROBLEM JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT FROM OTHER STATES, (AZ, CA, FL) ARE JUST A FEW OF THE STATES THAT HAVE THE RECALL ON THE SAME VEHICLE, SAME DEFECTIVE PART, WHERE THE RECALL COVERS.

A NOTICEABLE GAS ODOR UPON ENTERING AND EXITING THE CAR WAS NOTICED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A CERTIFIED GM SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

HOWEVER, THE STATE OF OWNERSHIP OR REGISTRATION DOES NOT FALL INTO THE LIST OF STATES INDICATED ON THE RECALL. THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THE STATES LISTED ARE HOT, MORE SOUTHERN STATES THAN THE STATE OF MISSOURI WHERE THE CAR IS CURRENTLY REGISTERED. HOWEVER, MUCH OF THE MIDWEST HAS SEEN MUCH HIGHER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES DURING THE LAST 30-45 DAYS...TEMPS IN THE 100 PLUS RANGE. THE VIN ALSO FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTICE. GM WAS NOTIFIED TO ASK IF THEY WOULD HONOR THE REPAIR BUT INDICATED THE BULLETINS ARE ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT & IF THE CARE REGISTRATION OR OWNERSHIP DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE LIMITS SET, COVERAGE IS NOT PROVIDED. WOULDN'T GM RATHER COVER A MINOR REPAIR BILL THAN TO BE SUED FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHEN MY HOUSE BURNS DOWN DUE TO THIS PROBLEM?? IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS LISTED IN THE RECALL DUE TO HIGH-TEMPERATURE WEATHER, AND MY CAR FALLS WITHIN THE VIN #S LISTED AS WELL AS YEAR, MAKE & MODEL, THAT BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE IN A MORE SOUTHERN STATE, I AM FORCED TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT SHOULDN'T BE NEEDED IN THE FIRST PLACE IF THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY. IF IT IS A PROBLEM DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL FINDINGS, IT SHOULDN'T MATTER WHAT STATE I LIVE IN. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN NOT ONLY MY GOVERNMENT BUT GM FOR NOT HONORING THIS REPAIR ISSUE AND WOULD REQUEST A REVIEW.

FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS, WE HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE AROUND THE CAR AFTER DRIVING. THE ODOR SEEMED TO BE AROUND THE TANK FILL. I FREQUENTLY RE-TIGHTENED THE CAP, THINKING PERHAPS IT WAS LOOSE AND THE FUMES WERE COMING FROM THERE, OR PERHAPS SOME GAS HAD SPILLED IN AN ODD PLACE WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED. THEN, LAST WEEKEND DURING A PARTICULARLY HOT WEEK HERE IN OHIO, I OPENED MY TRUNK TO PUT THE GROCERIES IN AND THE TRUNK WAS REEKING WITH GAS FUMES! I AM VERY GLAD THERE WAS NOT AN IGNITION SOURCE CLOSE BY, AS I AM NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! THIS STRONG SMELL PERSISTED THE REST OF THE HOT WEEKEND. AT HOME, I LEFT THE TRUNK OPEN TO AIR IT OUT. THE WEATHER COOLED LAST MONDAY AND I HAVE NOT SMELLED GAS SINCE. ALSO THE GAS TANK IS NOW ONLY HALF FULL. MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR TODAY AND FEELS THAT THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY THE FUEL PUMP, AS THERE IS EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE. THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING AND UNTIL THE LEAK BECOMES MORE PROBLEMATIC WE WILL MOST LIKELY HOLD OFF ON REPAIRS AS THEY WILL BE EXPENSIVE. STILL, WITH THE WEATHER GETTING HOT AGAIN, I AM NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE MAKES ME ILL AND UNCOMFORTABLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS SAFE TO SMELL GASOLINE THAT STRONGLY. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND HAD MY VIN NUMBER CHECKED TO BE SURE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS. IT WAS NOT. *TR

HAD BEEN NOTICING A GAS SMELL FOR AWHILE BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL I WAS FAILED FOR INSPECTION THE OTHER DAY FOR A FUEL LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED 100 DOLLARS TO FIX IT AND ANYWHERE FROM 200 TO 1000 TO FIX IT THEY SAID SO I HAD MY MECHANIC FRIEND HELP ME DROP THE GAS TANK WHEN WE DISCOVERED GAS ON THE FUEL TANK TO FIND THAT ITS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NUMEROUS COBALT OWNERS ARE HAVING AND ACTUALLY HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR ONLY CERTAIN VIN'S IN CERTAIN STATES. I DON'T SEE WHY THE RECALL WOULD NOT BE TO ALL CARS THAT GM PUT THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP IN. NOT ONLY IS THIS A VERY COSTLY FIX DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF LABOR INVOLVED IN GETTING TO THE FUEL PUMP BUT EVEN MORE SO IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY RISK AND I DON'T THINK THAT GM SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HONOR A RECALL OF SORTS TO ALL CARS THEY PUT THIS FAULTY FUEL PUMP IN. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR ON FEB.19,2012. WHEN MY DAD AND I WERE DRIVING IT THAT FIRST WEEK, WE OFTEN SMELLED GAS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STARTED AND AFTER WE GOT HOME AND TURNED IT OFF.

SO MY FATHER LAID UNDERNEATH, PUT HIS HAND UNDER THE GAS PAN OVER THE FUEL PUMP AND IT WAS LEAKING GAS. WHEN WE LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET, IT SHOWED US THIS IS A NATIONAL RECALL PROBLEM FOR ALL 2006 AND 2007 COBALTS. I DO NOT WANT MY CAR TO BLOW UP WITH ME IN IT !!
