My family and I were riding in the car, when suddenly there was a awful gas odor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where I was told my life was in danger and they did not want me to drive the car. The fuel pump had to be ordered. Also, the ignition lock cylinder was replaced, due to the vehicle not starting at times....updated 01/29/15

My 2007 Cobalt first showed signs of leaking fuel in the summer of 2014. I took it to get inspected and was told I needed my fuel line purge solenoid replaced. I did so, but the leaking did not stop. Then, on 30 December 2014 I got it reinspected and was told there is actually a crack in my fuel tank and that the tank needs to be replaced. There is currently a recall for my make and model of vehicle, but it is only for vehicles manufactured in certain states. I looked up my VIN and my vehicle was not made in any of the states listed, but the conditions match the recall details exactly. I believe my tank should be replaced as part of the existing recall.

After driving my car it had a strong smell of gas so I parked in my driveway and found a puddle of gas in front of the rear driver side tire. I looked under the car and saw that the gas line coming from the fuel filter was corroded and leaking from a strap. I was very concerned because the exhaust is about 2 inches away from this fuel leak. My fuel efficiency went from 34mpg highway to 26mpg highway so I know I was leaking fuel while driving. I took my Cobalt to the dealership and they said that it will cost $750 to fix the gas line. My flex tube on the exhaust system also broke around 130000 miles. It's the part in between the exhaust manifold and the cat converter.

Daughter drives vehicle to college. Smelling gas and noticed drops underneath car. Per mechanic it looked like coming from fuel pump and was told to take to dealer for extended safety bulletin 09226, cracked plastic supply port fuel pump. Dealer states that is not it and it is the filler neck of fuel tank. Needs to be replace )its plastic"?"!!!) $1500. This car is getting out of control expensive and this problems is also a well known issue that is not addressed by GM. Online there are scores of people with same issue. A fuel tank should not break, period. Car is worthless to sell after ignition recall anyway.

Car has a hard yank after coming to a stop and starting off. Knocking noise coming from rear of car since day one of purchase. Vibration in accelerator and gear shifter. Lights on interior of car dashboard goes on and off. Problem still happening today and the tsm was replaced as well, as they always say they cannot duplicate the problem. Check engine light has never came on at anytime the problem happened. It happens after car is driven and heated up. Only happened when long trip over 50 miles, now since ignition has been changed on call back. Problems has worsened lights on and off, transmission hard shift when driving short trips as well as a constant vibration. Knocking coming from gas tank side of car was mainly during cooler weather now happened when day was above 90 degrees. Electrical problem with vehicle I think and has caused many problems and even deaths. Do not think it was keys ignition. I seriously think is in the entire electrical system. Problem should of been fixed when 1st reported, but they only reset the trans computer.

On 6/11/2014, I went out with the car for a few mile, the car began lost power and slow down. So I called aaa to tow my car back to the dealer for investigate, they ask me for a checking fee of $300 and told me that they have changed the part, it will be other problem. So I searched the internet there is more recall on that model on the fuel pump and other, but they refuse to replace for me. So I called GM, they said there is no recall on my car, I don't know why" information I searched from the internet said that the wrong computer program, connection, coded keys anti-theft function will affect the car from starting. They never check that and told me to paid for changing the fuel pump. What should I do" I have no car to use over one week.

I was driving at about 35mp and it felt like my right rear brakes was sticking like they where stuck, then I was driving and it the car didn't want to move I push all the way to the floor with the gas pedal and it still wouldn't move, so I put it back into park, try again the it went in reverse.but it moved really slow, the key wouldn't turn most of the time had to keep turning it also took car to dealer to have key ignition fix said they don't know how long it would take to fix, then I get on internet and see there are up to six recalls on this car but how do I find out if I can have them fix them too. Only got one letter which was for the ignition switch.

Started smelling a strong odor of gas inside and out of my car to where I would smell of gas when I drove my car, looked on line for any problems concerning this issue and saw that their had been a recall on the fuel pump in 2012 I believe it was, anyway I did not receive a notice for called GM explained what was going on they made arrangements to have my car towed to a dealership to be repaired which it was well, a day in a half later my check engine light comes on which it hasn't in the past I try to call GM numerous times and leave messages no one returns my calls. I take it back to dealer they put it on machine come out say your tank is filling up with a vapor your going to have to leave it we have to remove the tank. I get a call couple days later they replaced my recalled ignition switch but my gas tank has a crack. I go up there with my sister and after lengthy discussion I was told that the crack was a defect on the manufacturer end, it's up to me to get it fixed so, I point blank asked shouldn't they be recalled if it's a defect and I was told yes they should but they won't because they have to much going on right now with everything else. My opinion I just think it's just sad that someone has to get hurt before anyone will take responsibility for their mistake.

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. Consumer writes in regards to ignition switch recall. The consumer stated the current actions being taken to remedy the situation were inadequate at best. The consumer did not feel safe driving the vehicle. Also, the gas tank had to be replaced due to a leak caused by a defective seal, that was recalled. The consumer had the seal replaced, prior to the recall. However she was denied reimbursement, because the work was not performed at a GM dealership. The blower motor was replaced multiple times, due to it causing a leak on the passenger side of the vehicle.

The car had the fuel module and tank replaced in October 2012 they said it was not a recall and covered it under my powertrain 3 days before it went out. I just got the car back from the ignition recall and the air bag on passenger doesn't work they claim its something different, the gas is draining from the car again, it smells like gas. I am assuming that the fuel line again has broke, and the fuel module and tank will be soon behind it. Last time they told me the car had the potential to blow up.the door electrical switches go on and off by themselves.the turn signals work when they want to too.

I have had problems from beginning. We never received recall notice. Not two months after having purchased this vehicle the power steering started to fail (our son was a little over 2-1/2 years old. I had to pull over as fast as I could to keep us from crashing. I was never notified of a recall on this vehicle by notice only by the failure of this vehicle. The car was brought in and serviced. Hence bulletin #10023 (power steering motor) performed on 5/25/2010. Problem 2 I have had with this vehicle: The mechanic told me where I get my oil changed that there was a recall on Cobalt for that problem, so I researched it only to be told there was "no recall" so to speak on my VIN#- -my mother was told there was again no recall that matched my VIN number the Chevy Cobalt had to have the fuel pump replaced because it was leaking gas. Additionally, the fuel injector was replaced as well because it's also part of that recall and the one that was on the car was cracked and leaking. This could have caused more than a fire--it could have blown up while I was driving. Yet again the liaison provided me with this: #12191 (fuel tank module) performed on 10/10/2012. On to the third recall- low the current recall, 13454, is now showing for your VIN and we are sending out notices this week with more specific information. The door handle on the driver side has all but fallen off, out of warranty again the dealer and was told there were no recalls, so around turns and corners my car gets loud. Don't even let me get started the upholstery in this vehicle because water alone stains it. Along with the struts making noises when the car turns, the A/C issue having that replaced, the breaks, the rotors turned when does it stop. I also found that it was very possible the airbag situation was due to the electrical problems as well (hence the faulty ignition kill switch).

I first started noticing a strong smell of gasoline when I filled my car up and parked it in my garage. I look under the vehicle to see if there was a fuel leak because of how strong the smell was. I didn't see anything so I was thinking maybe it was a one time thing like I had spilled some gas on the car when I filled up. I again noticed the same thing two weeks later when I filled up. It happens every time I fill up the car. I can even smell gas order in a open air parking lot when I walk by my car. I took the car into the Chevy dealer I bought if from because of a service bulletin csc-10051936-8902 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. So since this is my only source of transportation I took if in to get looked. The dealership said that this repair was already done to my vehicle before they sold it to me. I told them that the smell is so bad that I have to air out my garage before I started my car because I'm worried out it. The dealer service rep. Told me that I would have to pay to fix the part that was replaced if it was cracked again! I don't see why it's my fault that the part that they replaced may still be defective and I have to pay out of my pocket. The guy really didn't seem to care that this is a safety related condition that could cause a possible fire. I just spoke to GM about it and was told yes that I would have to pay to have my car inspected and if the same fuel line is cracked that I would have to pay. No help, but I shouldn't have to air out my garage every time I fill up before I start it because of a possible fire hazard. The GM rep. I spoke to on the phone said that when I get the letter for the ignition recall I should mention it to them again.

Car smelled of gas so I had it checked out and found out that it was a gas leak. I went online to see how much it would cost to repair. As I typed in gas leak in car of 2007 Cobalt how much to fix, a page came up on about how much it would cost and then a it also and questions and answer on the website. One of the question was the same exact question I wanted to ask so I opened it and found out that it was a recall on the gas leak issue. I then called the chevey customer service line to inquire about the recall. They said they was no gas leakeage recall for the 2007 Chevy Cobalt. I explained to him the issue I had with my car and he wanted to transfere me to the dealer. I told him I spoke with him already and he said it would cost me anywhere from 80-1400 dollars depending on was the issue. I said online said there was a recall on the gas leak issue and since I brought my car used I don't know if it was brought in the states that had the recall. He asked me for a recall number which at the time I didn't have. I then went back on line to do more research and found out that it did have a recall and it said the Chevy would fix the fuel pump module free of charge. The NHTSA campaign id # is 09V149000 and the recall number is 090226. How do I get them to fix my car without a charge since there was a recall on fuel pump module or reinburst me for the 550 I had to pay a mechanic to fix the gas leak. I did call them first, explained and let them know there was a recall on the gas leakage issue but was told there was none and the diagnostic to check where the leak is would be $116. Can you please help me!
