2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Started smelling gas when driving vehicle. Found fuel leak on top of fuel tank. Took vehicle to Mesa Auto Works (480-969-1954) on [XXX] and they diagnosed a Fuel Pump Module broken and leaking fuel. Replaced unit at a cost of $730.22 with the fuel pump module costing $382.80. This defect could have resulted in a car fire and or worse. Definitely a safety issue. I have searched online and found many other complaints about this same defect. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The fuel pump failed and had began leaking profusely. The car was brought to the Chevy dealership where I was told it would be fixed under special coverage 12191. Chevy had tried an aftermarket part to fix but it would not seal properly and continued to leak. I got in contact with General Motors who said a new part had been ordered, a week later they told me there was no new part as they discontinued it. They are now saying that it isn’t their responsibility to fix the car due to its mileage even though special coverage 12191 specifically states no expiration due to mileage. They are offering me a credit towards a down payment which I do not want as I am not interested in having a new car payment, i want my car repaired or to be compensated once they total it out. This is my daily driver car and I have been without it for four months while GM shoves me around and refuses to deliver on their failed product. Please help.

Gas smell, no gas is visable on ground and vehicle is hard to start after sitting.

fuel lines starting pouring gas right at driver side rear wheel gas lines rusted with holes in them and my car only has 40 thousand miles on it and parked in a garage this could have been very bad since the gas lines are right next to the exhaust

Fuel pump inlet cracked causing massive fuel leak.

Fuel leak from rusted fuel lines. I am willing to allow the vehicle to be inspected as it hasn't been repaired. The fuel leak appeared to be in front of the drivers side rear wheel and it is near the exhaust which is very dangerous.

Around Dec. 22, 2021, I started smelling gas outside and inside of my car (particularly the right back seat near the gas tank). I took it to a local mechanic and he urged me to take it to the dealership for service and to not drive the car a lot because it could be dangerous. He said it was the gas tank pump and that there was a recall that I should look into. I took my car to a local dealership for service and upon inspection, they removed and replaced the fuel pump and plastic lines - they confirmed there was an issue with the gas pumps.

Strong smell of gas when driving, also strong smell of gas around car in general. Underneath the car you can see gas pouring from fuel tank, looks like it’s coming from top of gas tank. Whenever I park in a parking space, in my driveway or park for any period of time I always leave a puddle of gas. I just started my car and looked underneath at gas tank, there is a steady stream of fuel coming from somewhere on gas tank.

Back near the rear wheel the gas's lines are so rusted out it's because of the manufacturer put a heat shield on it and it trapped morsure and water in it and rusted the lines so bad there's barley anything left this is a known issue in Chevy Cobalt ls coupes I own a 2007 Chevy cobalt LS coupe I don't understand why there isn't a recall on all 2000-2012 Chevy cobalt models or a reimbursement for the people who bought that had to replace the gas lines because of that

The car is leaking fuel from the fuel line by the back driverside tire. This is a fire hazard as the leak is near the hot exhaust.

The fuel line was rusted causing a leak. The rusted area is by the driver side rear wheel well. The fuel line is covered by a material to shield it from the exhaust heat. The material holds moisture causing the fuel line in that area to rust and leak.

In mid 2017 I went for a drive in my 2007 Chevy Cobalt. (just over 100,000 miles). When I was approximately 4 blocks from my home the engine began sputtering and died. I was able to pull in a parking lot, put it in park and jumped out of my car. An overwhelming smell of gas was immediately noticed, as well as a huge puddle of fuel on the ground. I began to walk the 4 blocks home and saw a huge continuous trail of gasoline upon the road leading from my car ALL the way to my home! In this 4 block distance my Cobalt leaked out over 3/8ths of a tank of fuel- nearly 5-6 gallons. The fuel vapor in the air was most assuredly at a very dangerous explosive level this entire distance home. I am a self taught mechanic with many engine re-builds and repairs under my belt. Upon inspection I found that the steel fuel line had a major rupture above the driver rear wheel within the foil wrapped "joke" of a heat shield- (just above the exhaust pipe). Upon further inspection this steel fuel line was badly rusted & corroded all the way to under the driver seat. Overall the Cobalt fuel line system is a very poor design, poor quality materials, with bad design & placement. I ordered a complete new fuel & return line set and replaced all the rusty junk fuel lines. My experience with the instantaneous fuel line failure could have had a very bad ending. No warning lights or previous leaks were detected. Then there is the front suspension and front wheel bearing issues. I have installed 2 complete front suspension kits, ball joints, struts, as well as 2 wheel bearing failures- all these replaced with less than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Then there is the bad window switches, bad moon roof seal, bad wiper arm assemblies, front stereo speaker failure at 39,000 miles, on & on. A very poor quality vehicle After purchasing this Cobalt I would be very hesitant to purchase another GM product.

Gas pours out of the top of the tank after fill up ... About an 1/8 of a tank of gas before it stops

WHILE AT A STOP I SMELL FUEL REALLY STRONG AND ONLY WHEN THERE IS PRESSURE IT LEAKS ON TOP OF GAS TANK WHERE THE RETURN LINE CRACKED RUNNING DOWN THE BACK OF THE TANK AND ONTO THE EXHAUST I SEE THERE IS A RECALL FOR MANY OTHER COBALT'S BUT NOT MY VIN WITH THIS SAME ISSUE! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHAT IF SOMEBODY WAS TO SMOKE BY THE CAR OR THEY THREW A CIGARETTE OUT OF THERE CAR AND I CAUGHT ON FIRE ????

I HAVE A LARGE FUEL LEAK AND CHEVY HAS A RECALL FOR 2008 TO 2010 VEHICLES WITH RUSTED FUEL LINES, AND MY 2007 SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE RUSTED FUEL LINES RECALL. I THINK GM SHOULD REEVALUATE THE YEARS THIS IS AFFECTING. MY CAR HAS UNDER THE MILEAGE IT SHOULD HAVE AND I HAVE KEPT MY VEHICLE UP TO DATE WITH ALL SERVICES! THE RECORDS ARE AT ROSEVILLE CHEVROLET IN ROSEVILLE, MN. THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW, AS WELL. THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING VERY BADLY. I'M IN HOPES THEY WILL RECTIFY THIS SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND AFTER PARKING IT AND GETTING OUT SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM SO DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AND DROVE THE CAR A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND EACH TIME AFTER UPON LEAVING THE CAR SMELLED AGAIN A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I DECIDED TO VISUALLY INSPECT THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR AND SAW GAS LEAKING FROM IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. I QUIT DRIVING THE CAR AND LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND THERE WERE. I CALLED A COUPLE CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND ASKED IF THEIR WAS A RECALL AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO INSPECT IT TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND IF SO THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. KNOWING THE CAR WAS UNSAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE I RENTED A CAR DOLLY AND BROUGHT IT TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AWAY. AFTER INSPECTION WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY BUT THE GAS LINES. WE HAD TO PAY $634 TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. REPAIR WAS DONE IN FEBRUARY 2020.THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 88,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME PROBLEM NOTICED.

MY 2007 SUPERCHARGED COBALT HAS BEEN LEAKING GAS LIKE A PIG. IT IS COMING FROM THE EXPOSED PLASTIC RETAINER CLIP THAT HAS RUSTED THROUGH MY GAS LINE AND SLOWLY RUSTING THROUGH MY BRAKE LINE NOW AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW AS THERE IS DEFINATELY ROAD SALT THAT GOT BETWEEN THE PLASTIC CLIP AND GAS LINE EATING AWAY AT THE METALS AND RUSTING. THE GAS LINE IS RIGHT ABOVE MY HOT EXHAUST AND THE LINE AND REPAIR IS STUPID EXPENSIVE AND CONSIDERING ALL THE OTHER 3 FUEL RECALLS ON THIS CAR I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS MY CAR BARELY HAS 100,XXX MILES AND COULD POTENTIALLY CATCH FIRE UNTIL I HAVE THE $900 I WAS QUOTED TO FIX THIS.

ONE YEAR AGO I WAS EXPERIENCING A FUEL LEAK NEAR MY REAR LEFT WHEEL, CLOSE TO WHERE THE LINE CONTACTED THE MOUNTING BLOCK. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, AND I NEEDED TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED BEFORE MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE, OBVIOUSLY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC (BECAUSE I AM A STUDENT AND COULDN'T AFFORD THEIR $1300 ESTIMATE) AND THEY REPAIRED IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT MODEL 2008 AND 2009 COBALTS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR THIS EXACT LEAK. MY CAR IS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT AND IT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DETAILED IN THE COMPLAINT FOR THE 2008/2009 MODELS. I WOULD LIKE TO IMPRESS THE NHTSA TO EXPAND THE INVESTIGATION TO THE EARLIER MODELS, INCLUDING THE 2007 COBALT

Mileage: 116,000

I I HAD A FUEL LEAK WHERE THE FUEL LINE CONNECT IN A MODULAR BOX.I PAID TO HAVE THE FUEL LINE REPLACED. I NOTICE THE FUEL LEAK IN THE DRIVEWAY WHILE PARKED.

PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY WHEN GOT HOME FROM WORK. NOTICED GAS LEAKING ONTO THE DRIVEWAY FROM UNDER THE CAR. LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE GAS WAS LEAKING FROM THE GAS LINE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL. THE GAS LINE IS HELD BY A CLIP THERE AND THE DESIGN AND PLACEMENT CAUSES THINGS SUCH AS ROAD SALT TO COLLECT THERE AND CORRODE THE GAS LINE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN DEFECT. THE GAS LINE THERE IS CLOSE TO THE MUFFLER AND GAS LEAKING FROM THAT SPOT WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN COULD EASILY CAUSE A FIRE. I WAS LUCKY THAT NO FIRE RESULTED WHEN MY GAS LINE STARTED LEAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS VERY SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. THEY NEED TO FIX ALL THE COBALTS OUT THERE WITH THIS DEFECT AND REIMBURSE OWNERS, SUCH AS MYSELF, WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE MY GAS LINE.

THIS CAR HAS A RECALL ALREADY IN REGARDS TO FUEL LEAKAGE BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES IN CERTAIN STATES. MY CAR LEAKS FUEL AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD TO CORRECT AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL, AS WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL COBALTS AS I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THOSE IN ARC, AZ, ETC. I HAVE LIVED AND HAD MY VEHICLE REGISTERED IN TX AS WELL. THIS ISSUE MAKES IT WHERE THE CAR LEAKS GAS ONTO THE PAVEMENT WHEN STATIONARY OR COME TO A STOP. THE CAR RUNS HARD DUE TO LEAKING FUEL AND AFRAID IT WILL RUN OUT OF GAS.

THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE GAS LINK THAT CONNECTS TO THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON AND OFFICE ISSUE. THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BOTH ON A OFFICE. I CAN GO FROM HAVING A HALF OF TANK TO NEARLY EMPTY THE SAME DAY. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG I CAN NOT PART THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE.

2 FUEL LEAKS REQUIRED EXTENSIVE & EXPENSIVE WORK: #1: FUEL LINE RUSTED COMPLETELY IN AREAS WHERE CLAMPS ATTACHED FUEL LINE TO CAR BODY ALONG DRIVER'S SIDE-FRONT 2 BACK. #2- PLASTIC 'L'-SHAPED PIECES CONNECTING FUEL LINES TO FUEL PUMP@GAS TANK DEVELOPED CRACKS. BOTH ISSUES CAUSED FUEL LEAKS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING CREATING EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD-ESPECIALLY BCUZ GAS LEAKS WERE DIFFICULT TO DETECT WHILE CAR IN MOTION EXCEPT FOR SOME GAS FUMES. GAS PUDDLES ONLY OCCUR IF IDLING IN 1 PLACE - OTHERWISE IT WAS ALL 'BLOWBACK' WHILE MOVING & HAD THE FUEL LINE NOT NEEDED REPLACED THE L-PIECES CRACKS MAY OF GONE UNNOTICED UNTIL COMPLETE FAILURE BECAUSE FUMES & LEAKS BLOW AWAY WHILE DRIVING...

STRONG FUEL SMELL IN AND AROUND THE CAR FOR THE LAST MONTH WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, TODAY I SEE PUDDLE OF FUEL IN FRONT OF LEFT REAR TIRE, I CRAWLED UNDER THE CAR AND SEE GAS RUNNING DOWN THE GAS LINE, REMOVED THE HEAT SHIELD AROUND THE GAS LINE TO SEE GAS LINES HAVE EXCESSIVE RUST BEHIND THE HEAT SHIELD AND GAS RUNNING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S NOT FROM THE GAS TANK LIKE THE RECALL, IT'S FROM THE GAS LINE ITSELF LEAKING AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WALKING BY SMOKING OR CHILDREN PLAYING THAT MAY CAUSE A SPARK YET I CAN'T FIND A RECALL BUT SEE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WHILE LOOKING FOR RECALLS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THIS. I PUT A PAN UNDER THE LEAK BUT IT IS STILL OPEN GAS AND A LOT OF FUMES THAT COULD IGNITE.

WHEN THE 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT IS BEING DRIVEN OR SITTING STILL, THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY STATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL, BUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TITLE IS SHOWING SALVAGED, THEY CANNOT MAKE THE REPAIR WITHOUT A COPY OF A RECALL LETTER THAT WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT IF I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER AND THEY SAID I WOULD NOT NEED A LETTER. THEY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD ABOUT THE TITLE. AFTER THAT, THEY STATED THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. IF THIS IS A KNOW SAFETY ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 & NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000 ), WHAT DOES THE TITLE HAVE TO DO WITH NEEDING TO REPAIR A KNOWN PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED A LETTER, #12191, FROM GM IN MARCH 2013 STATING SPECIAL COVER OF MY 07 CHEVROLET COBALT LT FOR A CONDITION "WHERE THE PLASTIC SUPPLY OR RETURN PORT ON THE FUEL PUMP CRACKS AND LEAKS FUEL OR FUEL VAPORS. FUEL VAPORS, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE." AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, ON OCTOBER 21, 2015 I STARTED NOTICE A POWERFUL FUEL ODOR FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHEN PARK AFTER RUNNING. I REMEMBER THE LETTER, #12191, THAT STATED MY CAR WAS COVERED, SO I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER, JIM TRENARY IN TROY, MO, AND STATED THE PROBLEM AND LETTER. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THEY WOULD RAISE THE CAR UP AND CHECK FOR FUEL LIQUID LEAKING FROM THE CAR. I TOLD THEM THAT AT THIS TIME ONLY FUEL VAPORS WERE LEAKING, AND HE SAID IF THAT THE CASE THEN IT WOULD NOT BE FIXED. THIS IS IN VIOLATION OF THE STATEMENT S IN LETTER #12191. I ALSO CALLED THE GM RECALL CENTER AND WAS TOLD TO JUST TAKE IT TO DEALER TO TELL ME THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT. THIS RESULTED IN ME DROPPING THE FUEL TANK, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT INDEED THE SUPPLY LINE ON THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED. I ORDER AN AC DELCO MU 1970 DIRECT OEM REPLACEMENT PUMP, AND INSTALLED THE UNIT. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF THE FUEL PUMP. BASICALLY GM IS REFUSING TO FIX A SPECIAL COVERAGE OF MY CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE THAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX BUT ARE REFUSING TO FIX. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF WHAT GM IS NOT DOING, WHICH IS FIXING CARS THAT COULD POTENTIAL CATCH FIRE IN PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. THEIR OWN WORDS NOT MINE.

A PLASTIC COMPONENT IN THE FUEL RETURN CRACKED CAUSING A GAS LEAK THAT WAS UNRECOGNIZABLE AT FIRST. FIRST NOTICED THE SCENT A WEEK AFTER ADOPTING A CAT AND ASSUMED IT MUST HAVE PEED IN THE CAR OR SOMETHING. AT FIRST, ONLY NOTICED IT AFTER DRIVING MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES AND PARKING THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR WAS LEFT IN PARK OVERNIGHT, IT WOULD NOT SMELL IN THE MORNING, HOWEVER ONCE IT WAS DRIVEN ANY DISTANCE, THE SMELL WOULD BECOME APPARENT BY THE TIME THE TRIP WAS DONE. THE SMELL WAS FAINT AND SEEMED TO COME FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, BUT WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BE NARROWED DOWN MORE THAN THAT. EVENTUALLY THE SCENT WAS STRONG ENOUGH THAT IT COULD BE RECOGNIZED AS GASOLINE AND BY THAT TIME IT WAS CLEAR THAT IT WAS COMING FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT. UPON LIFTING THE BACK END TO LOOK AT THE CAR, THE UNDERSIDE WAS WET WITH GASOLINE AND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK COULD BE ISOLATED TO THE TOP OF THE TANK. TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED AND FIXED TO FIND OUT IT WAS A CRACK IN A PLASTIC COMPONENT OF THE FUEL RETURN AND THE WAY THE COMPONENT IS DESIGNED, THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM ABOUT POTENTIAL FUEL LEAKS AND SUBMITTED MY INFORMATION ONLY TO LEARN THAT THE CURRENT BULLETIN PERTAINS TO THE FUEL TANK ITSELF AND ALL OTHER SERVICE BULLETINS RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE ARE FOR DIFFERENT CAR BATCHES SOLD MOSTLY TO WARMER CLIMATE STATES SO GM WILL NOT REIMBURSE FOR THE REPAIR.

IT IS ONLY A 2007, BUT THE FUEL LINES ARE NOT MADE WELL AT ALL. BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THAT ENCASEMENT WITH THE VENT THEY RUST QUICKLY. IT CAUSED A VERY STRONG ODOR, AND GAS WAS VISIBLY LEAKING OUT OF THE BACK END OF THE CAR. THE DRIVER HAD HEADACHES EVERY TIME AFTER DRIVING THE CAR. THE CAR WAS BARELY STARTING AS WELL. AFTER PUTTING THE KEY IN AND TURNING IT, IT WOULD TAKE AWHILE BEFORE THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTED. THE DRIVER TOOK IT INTO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED THINKING IT WAS THE CRACKED FUEL TANK INLET CONTROL VALVE SPECIAL SERVICE PROBLEM THAT HAD JUST BEEN ISSUED IN AUGUST 2015. THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT IT WOULD BE FIXED WITH NO CHARGE TO THE DRIVER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NEITHER RELATED TO THAT ISSUE NOR TO ANOTHER SPECIAL SERVICE ISSUE DEALING WITH LEAKING GAS THAT THE DRIVER HAD ALREADY GOTTEN FIXED IN APRIL 2014. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS INSTEAD RELATED TO THE FUEL LINES RUSTING. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AND THAT IT WOULD COST AT LEAST $659.38 TO GET IT FIXED. THE DRIVER EVENTUALLY GOT IT FIXED SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR $250 LESS. IN THE MEANTIME THE DRIVER CONTINUED TO GET HEADACHES AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR. THE DRIVER KNOWS OF OTHER CHEVY COBALTS WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEFORE A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURS.

MY CHEVROLET COBALT 2007 WAS CALLED FOR A RECALL, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO ME. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY CHANGED THE POWER STEERING WHEEL, THE IGNITION AND ALL THAT HAD TO DO WITH IT, AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY ALSO CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN I RECEIVED MY CAR FROM THE DEALER I NOTICED A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR, I DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL SINCE THEY CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS I TOOK MY CAR BACK SINCE I NOTICED A BIG GAS LEAK ON THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I MOVED MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND THAT THE FILLER NECK WAS CRACKED, AND THAT I MIGHT HAVE POSSIBLY HIT MY CAR AND CRACKED THE FILLER NECK. I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED AND I TALKED TO MANAGERS AND EVERYTHING, BUT THE ONLY RESPONSE I GOT WAS THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. AFTER CALLING GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVROLET, THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO PAY $500 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR AND THAT THEY WILL COVER THE REST. I WAS VERY UPSET AND FRUSTRATED, BUT I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I WORK, SO I NEEDED MY CAR. I PAID THE $500 DOLLARS OUT OF CREDIT CARDS BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR A MISTAKE THAT THEY MADE AND PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP EVEN TOLD ME THEY DID BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE FILLER NECK IS PLASTIC AND THAT WITH THE WEATHER CHANGES IN HOUSTON WHEN "HANDLED" CAN CRACK EASILY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A TOTAL FRAUD AND I WANT MY $500 DOLLARS BACK AND ALSO THE FEE THEY CHARGED TO CHECK IT WHICH WAS ALMOST $85 DOLLARS. *TR

VEHICLE LEAKS GASOLINE. A LOT OF IT. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED (SUPPOSEDLY) AS PART OF A RECALL. TOOK THE CAR IN A SECOND TIME BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE, PARTICULARLY AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE GAR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, IT IS A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK, AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. THE GAS TANK CRACK COULD VERY WELL BE RELATED TO THE RECALLED FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THE DEALER MIGHT BE USING THE GAS TANK TO EXPLAIN AWAY THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE. THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR FOR A COUPLE DAYS NOW AND WANT TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR TELLING ME THAT IT IS AN ISSUE NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LEAKING FUEL IS ENOUGH TO SET THE CAR ON FIRE. THE DEALER COULD BE EXPLOITING CUSTOMERS (FOR PROFIT) THAT COME IN FOR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL, ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T OBSERVED ANY CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THIS. *TR

MY CAR WAS RUNNING AND GETTING WARMED UP, THEN SUDDENLY THE LOCKS START GOING OFF AND ON, REPEATEDLY. IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS AND THE CAR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. IT DOES THIS WHETHER IT IS OFF OR ON NOW. IT IS CONSTANT. THE POWER LOCKS NO LONGER WORK AND YOU CAN'T USE THE DOOR HANDLE TO UNLOCK THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE, YOU MUST MANUALLY PULL THE LOCK "UP" AND TO LOCK THE CAR YOU MUST MANUALLY PUSH ALL THE DOOR LOCK KNOBS DOWN, BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE IT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED. IN ADDITION TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE THE FRONT SPEAKERS GO OFF AND ON AT RANDOM. ALSO, THE TURN SIGNAL REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER THE FULL TURN HAS BEEN MADE. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE IT'S BEING DRIVEN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE GOING 70 MPH OR 20 MPH. ALSO THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY CAR, THAT WAS RECALLED AND HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED, BUT THE STEERING STILL MALFUNCTIONS. MY CAR WAS LEAKING FUEL THE SUMMER OF 2012, AFTER THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS REPLACED THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED MONTHS LATER BECAUSE THE CAR CONTINUED TO LEAK GASOLINE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER COUNTLESS ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I AM SURPRISED AND FORTUNATE THAT THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY INJURIES OR FATALITIES WHILE OPERATING THIS DEATH TRAP.

AFTER BEING SICK FROM THE CHEVY COBALT (HEADACHES AND VOMITING) DUE TO THE STRONG FUEL SMELL, I TOOK THE CAR INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULAR, AT THE TIME I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE STRONG FUEL SMELL WAS BACK, I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO 2 INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND ADVANCED AUTO PARTS. ALL 3 SAID THE SAME THING, I HAD A LEAK DUE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD TO JUST TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY'D REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE AS IT WAS THEIR FAULT AND A CHEVY ISSUE. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, AND ACTED ENCOUNTERING A RUDE AND CONDESCENDING EMPLOYEE I WAS TOLD THEY WOULDN'T FIX MY CAR WHICH HAS A CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, SO HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?

I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. I CALLED THEM AND TOLD THEM THAT MY POWER STEERING HAD GONE OUT TWICE ON THE CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN IMMEDIATELY SINCE I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT IN AND THEY FIXED IT PROMPTLY BUT EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN HAVING OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BLINKERS NOT CLICKING OFF, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COMING ON AND OFF. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY GAS TANK LEAKING. I HAD SOMEONE TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS POURING GAS OUT AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY WHAT A DEALER WOULD CHARGE. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER I HAD IT FIXED I GOT RECALL IN THE MAIL FOR THE FAULTY GAS TANK. I ALSO HAD A WHEEL BEARING THAT WENT OUT BUT THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER FIXED IT FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND ANOTHER PART THAT GOES WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON THE CHEVY COBALT. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER SO A FRIEND REPLACED THE PARTS FOR ME AT COST. (YES HE GOT THE FUEL PUMP FROM THE DEALER) AFTER RECEIVING A RECALL LETTER ON THESE PARTS I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE GOING TO DO EXACTLY WHAT I HAD ALREADY PAID TO HAVE DONE. I FOUND MY RECEIPT FROM THE MECHANIC AND FILLED OUT THE FORM THAT WAS SENT WITH THE RECALL LETTER AND MAILED THEM IN. INSTEAD OF BEING REIMBURSED FOR HAVING IT ALREADY FIXED I AM BEING TOLD THAT SINCE I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A DEALER I CANNOT BE REIMBURSED. I PERSONALLY DO THINK THIS IS FAIR. I COULD NOT AFFORD 800.00 PLUS DOLLARS THAT THE DEALER OR AUTHORIZED MECHANIC WANTED TO DO THIS WORK. I GUESS I CAN UNDERSTAND RULES ARE RULES, BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER THAT NOT EVERYONE IS ABLE TO AFFORD THE OUTLANDISH PRICES DEALERSHIPS AND CERTAIN MECHANICS ARE CHARGING FOR REPAIRS. *TR

I'VE OWNED MY COBALT FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT IS AT 75,657 MILES. SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, WHICH IS NOW COVERED BY THE RECALL, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE PART SO IT ISN'T REIMBURSABLE. NOW THE FUEL FEED PIPE HAS A LEAK AND SPRAYS FUEL ON THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE BACKSIDE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. I AM NOT SURE WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO LEAK AS IT DOESN'T RUB AGAINST ANYTHING NOR IS IT LEAKING ON THE UNDER SIDE WHERE ROAD DAMAGE COULD HAVE OCCURRED.

I HAVE BEEN SMELLING FUEL VAPOR ORDER IN MY CAR FOR A WHILE AND HAD RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR IT. SO I TOOK IT IN TO TOM GILL CHEVROLET AND THEY HAD REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP FOR FREE. AT THE SAME TIME I HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND IT READ "P0442 EVAP SYSTEM SMALL LEAK DETECTED" FIGURED THE FUEL PUMP WAS RELATED. AFTER THEY HAVE REPLACED IT, I STILL HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND IT CAME TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THE SAME TIME, I BEEN HAVING PERFORMANCE ISSUES AND EVERY TIME I PARKED THE CAR I STILL SMELL GAS AS I GET OUT OF THE CAR. I GOT MY BRAKES REPLACED AND WHILE THEY WERE UP THERE I CHECKED THE GAS TANK AND FOUND OUT THAT THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING WHERE THE FILLER HOSE WAS CONNECTED TO. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE OR MYSELF MESSED WITH THE GAS TANK SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW OFF THE LOT IN 2007 TILL TOM GILL CHEVROLET IN FLORENCE, KY HAD RECENTLY DID WORK ON IT. SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM THE NEXT DAY I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE GAS TANK AND HAD THEM TAKE A LOOK AT IT, AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE GAS TANK IS CRACKED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PRICED IT TO BE $1000. I HAVE EXPLAINED TO THEM WHY THEY DID NOT DETECT THIS BEFORE AND THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT THE LEAK WAS FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK AND THERE WAS NO WAY OF TELLING THAT THE LEAK CAME FROM WHERE THE FILLER HOSE WAS CONNECTED TO. THE THING IS AFTER LOOKING UNDER MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE, AND I KNOW JUST BY LOOKING THAT YOU CAN DISTINGUISH FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK AND THE SIDE OF THE TANK WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. I COME FROM A FAMILY OF MECHANICS AND KNOW WELL ENOUGH THAT THEY WERE BLOWING SMOKE AT ME AND COVERING UP THEIR ISSUES. I HAVE ALSO INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE AND ALSO BEEN THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE SAME RING AROUND LIKE I HAVE. *TR

I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH SIMILAR CONDITIONS THAT RESULTED IN HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK AS WELL. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS A RELATED ISSUE TO THE CURRENT RECALL.

FUEL PUMP ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT BEGAN LEAKING AUGUST, 2012. I CHECKED INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. I CONSULTED THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD RECALL WAS ONLY EFFECTIVE FOR COBALT VEHICLES SOLD IN CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES. SINCE I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, I HAD PUMP REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. I PHONED CHEVROLET NATIONAL REP IN DECEMBER, 2012, TO QUESTION WHY FUEL PUMP WAS ONLY BEING RECALLED IN 'HOT WEATHER' STATES WHEN TEMPERATURES WERE CONSISTENTLY IN THE 90'S IN THE CHICAGO AREA IN THE SUMMER OF 2012. I WAS TOLD THAT CHEVROLET WAS LOOKING INTO THE MATTER AND WOULD LET ME KNOW THEIR DECISION BY THE END OF JANUARY, 2013. OF COURSE, I NEVER HEARD FROM NATIONAL CHEVY REP OR CHEVY DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT ISSUING A RECALL FOR ONLY CERTAIN STATES IS UNFAIR (DISCRIMINATORY?), ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PUMP PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY VEHICLE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. ALSO, IF THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO WARM TEMPERATURE (CLIMATE) SITUATIONS, I BELIEVE THE TEMPERATURES IN THE CHICAGO AREA IN THE SUMMER OF 2012 WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY MET THAT REQUIREMENT. AT MINIMUM, I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY @ $310.89. IDEALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE TOTAL COST OF REPLACING THE PUMP, WHICH WAS $577.32. LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT I'M NOTIFYING NHTSA OF THIS SITUATION BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WITH FUEL VISIBLY LEAKING FROM THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP, THE CHANCE OF THE VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE FROM A SPARK OR IMPACT IS DANGEROUSLY ELEVATED. I BELIEVE A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON ALL 2007 CHEVROLET COBALTS IS IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURRING FROM THIS SITUATION. *TR

TO ME IT SEEMS THAT CHEVY PROBABLY USED THE SAME MATERIALS ON THE FUEL TANK AS THEY DID THIS SENSOR THAT NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO "HEAT". NOW ALONG WITH THE SENSORS CRACKING, THE TANKS ARE DOING THE SAME ONLY THEY ARE NOT COVERING THEM IN A RECALL.

I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM NOT HAPPY THAT GM WOULD ALLOW OWNERS OF THEIR PRODUCT BE IN DANGER WHEN THEY KNOW THEY HAVE PRODUCED A FAULTY PRODUCT. IF RECALLS WERE ISSUED IN ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, NEVADA, AND TEXAS WHY DO THE REST OF US HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT???? I READ IN USA TODAY THAT GM WOULD OFFER A REPAIR TO THOSE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE WHO WERE WITHIN A CERTAIN MILEAGE BUT HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING MORE FROM GM ON THIS ISSUE.

AT THE END OF AUG 2012, I NOTICED A FAINT SMELL OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. I CHECKED THE GAS CAP , UNDER THE CAR FOR LEAKS AND CHECKED THE INJECTORS FOR LEAKS. EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. WHEN I OPEN THE TRUNK THE SMELL OF GAS IS STRONG. ALSO ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING I HAD TO PUMP THE GAS PEDDLE OFTEN TO START THE CAR, SEEMS THAT I WAS LOSING PRESSURE SOMEWHERE IN THE FUEL LINE. I WAS READY TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WHEN I READ ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE INTERNET, BUT NOT FOR MY STATE. WHAT A BUNCH OF#@$. I CALLED GMC AND COMPLAINED, THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND THEN POSSIBLY BE REIMBURSED. TODAY ON THE INTERNET GMC STATED I COULD GET A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY. I'LL SEE HOW THAT GOES. GMC'S RATIONALIZATION THAT THE STATES THEY LISTED FOR RECALL HAVE HIGHER TEMPERATURES THAN COLORADO DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE IN THAT STATE, I ASSURE YOU IT GETS JUST AS HOT IN COLORADO. REGARDLESS, GMC SHOULD GIVE SOME TYPE OF NOTIFICATION TO ALL OWNERS OF SAID RECALLED VEHICLES. SO THEY COULD AT LEAST BE AWARE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. *TR

I NOTICED THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM MY CAR.I TOOK MY CAR TO THE AUTO MECHANIC TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR HAD A GAS LEAK AND THERE WAS A CRACK CAUSING THE LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP LINE. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS RARE AND I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND TO SEE IF I WOULD BE REIMBURSE THE MONEY SPENT FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS VIA EMAIL. I EXPLAINED MY ISSUE WITH A GAS LEAK AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THE TIME WHICH WAS JULY OF 2010. RECENTLY I WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL WITH THE CHEVY COBALT 2007 HAVING A GAS LEAK. I AGAIN CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ONLY TO BE TOLD MY CAR IS NOT VIN SPECIFIC TO THE RECALL.NO ONE WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MY CAR IS A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND I HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS STATED IN THE CURRENT RECALL.

MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT WAS PURCHASED NEW FEBRUARY 2007. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 24,800 MILES ON IT WHEN I STARTED SMELLING GAS IN JULY OF THIS YEAR 2012, THIS YEAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO GET A OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A LEAK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC. THAT IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WENT HOME AND CHECKED ON LINE ABOUT GAS LEAKS ON A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE MODEL CARS IN 2010. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS SITUATION. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE STATE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE(IN MARYLAND) WAS NOT ONE OF THE STATES FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED MY NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER AND TOLD HIM OF THIS PROBLEM BUT I WAS INFORMED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED AND IT WAS THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECTED PART. A FUEL PUMP FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 60,000 MILES. I BABYSIT FOR A LIVING AND THERE IS A SMALL CHILD IN MY VEHICLE ALMOST EVERYDAY. THIS COULD OF CAUSED SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES OVER GM'S NEGLECT. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY I PARKED MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS UNTIL I HAD THE MONEY TO PAY FOR GM'S PROBLEM. SO NOW I AM OUT OF MONEY TO HAVE SOMETHING FIXED THAT WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I FEEL GM SHOULD REIMBURSE EVERYONE WHO HAD THIS PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF WHAT STATE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN. I AM INFORMING ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF THIS AND TELLING THEM NEVER TO BUY A GM CAR. THIS IS A TERRIBLE WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER. *TR

IN MARCH, 2009, MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY COBALT FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN GILBERT, AZ. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, AND THERE HAVE BEEN FEW MAINTENANCE ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. IN APRIL, 2012 SHE NOTICED THAT SHE WAS HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING THE VEHICLE, AND WHEN IT DID START IT SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. THE CAR THEN STARTED OK, BUT WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FULL WE CONTINUED TO SMELL GASOLINE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC IN JUNE FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE GASOLINE SMELL (PLUS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON). THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DIAGNOSED WITH AN EVAPORATIVE GAS LEAK, SO THE GAS CAP WAS REPLACED. AGAIN WE THOUGHT THAT THE ISSUE WAS CORRECTED UNTIL TWO WEEKS LATER MY DAUGHTER FILLED UP HER GAS TANK, AND WHEN SHE PARKED AT WORK SMELLED GAS STRONGLY AGAIN, AND THIS TIME NOTICED FLUID DRIPPING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE MECHANIC, AND THIS TIME HE FOUND A CRACK IN THE PORT ASSEMBLY. HE REPAIRED IT WITH AN EPOXY REPAIR KIT TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY, BUT TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH GENERAL MOTORS TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL OF ANY SORT. I CHECKED WITH THE NHTSA AT SAFERCAR.GOV AND THERE IT WAS. THERE MOST DEFINITELY WAS A RECALL THAT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF REGARDING THIS FUEL LEAK ISSUE. I SENT A LETTER TO GENERAL MOTORS REQUESTING A COPY OF THE RECALL, ASKING WHY I WASN'T ORIGINALLY NOTIFIED IN FEBRUARY OF 2010, AND REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY EXPENSES, TOTALING $976.00. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GENERAL MOTORS DENIED MY REQUEST, AND REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT LISTED. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME WHY.

I EVEN TOOK IN FORMS PROVING THAT THE RECALLS FOR THE 2007 CHEVY COBALT DID NOT STATE IT IS ONLY ON CERTAIN ONES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON 78 GOING TO SAMS WHEN ME AND MY FAMILY NOTICED A LOUD SMELL OF FUEL AND SOME MOTORIST PASSING BY POINT AT MY CAR STATING THAT WE HAD LEAKAGE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. SO AS I WAS TRYING TO GET OVER THE CAR SUDDENLY CUTS OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREAKING FREEWAY ALMOST OFF THE ROAD BUT NOT QUITE. SO A GOOD PERSON STOPPED AND HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR OFF UNTIL THE POLICE SHOWED TO HAVE OTHER MOVING CARS MOVE TO THE NEXT LANE UNTIL WE WERE IN A SAFE PLACE. SURE ENOUGH THE FUEL UNDER MY CAR WAS POURING OUT. I ONLY HAD MY CAR A YEAR AND NEVER HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY CARS I HAVE EVER HAD THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST CAR FROM CHEVROLET I EVER OWNED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I GOT THE CAR FROM BUT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT ALL AND THIS IS VERY UPSETTING. SO NOW I AM WITHOUT A CAR FOR NOW. UNTIL I GET THIS FIXED I LOOKED UP RECALLS BUT NOTHING WITH MY VIN NUMBER [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BUT IT ALSO INCLUDED SAYING THAT MY CAR WHICH CAME FROM ONE OF THE STATES THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER REPLACING PART BUT WOULD CHARGE A FEE TO FIX IT. THEY WOULD HONOR BUT UPON CALLING MY GM DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE CAR SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT I INFORMED THEM I FOUND IT ON THE SAME SIGHT IN WHICH I HAD MY STEERING FIXED FROM A RECALL AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL THEN I ALSO CALLED THE GM MAIN NUMBER AND THEY REFUSED A RECALL EVEN THOUGH I SAID THERE WAS AND WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT THERE IS DOCUMENT OF FIRES FROM THE VEHICLE THAT STARTS FROM THE IGNITION AND MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN MY VEHICLE SO TO ME LOSS OF LIFE IS NOT WORTH THERE EXCUSES WHEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING FIRES HOPE I GET SOME RESPONSE TO MAYBE MAKE SURE NOBODY DIES FROM THIS PROBLEM. *JS

I AM IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA WHERE THE WEATHER IS 104'. I BEGAN TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND PARKED MY CAR IN A GARAGE WHERE I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS. THEN AS THE DAYS WENT ON I SMELLED THE GAS STRONGER AND FUMES. I WAS RIDING MY LITTLE 1 YEAR OLD COUSIN AROUND WHEN I NOTICED A GAS LEAK FROM THE CAR. HE THEN BEGAN TO COUGH AND I IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED VEHICLES FOR HIS SAFETY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COBALTS HAD A RECALL ON FUEL SYSTEMS BUT MINE WAS NOT COVERED. I DID HAVE A POWER WHEEL STEERING RECALL WHICH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I DIDN'T HAVE A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WOULD THINK THEY MESSED UP BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. I NEED THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE HEAT IS RISING OUTSIDE AND THE GAS IS ACTUALLY SPILLING FROM THE TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIX IF THE MANUFACTURER CREATED SO MANY. *TR
