Smelled gas emitting from vehicle while parked, next day strong smell in vehicle, uncomfortable while driving. Took to garage and was told it was under recall for fuel pump and lines from the fuel pump. Took to GM dealership and was told that the fuel lines were cracked and disintergrated, (cited "northern car"). having no recall effect. Pay $850 plus out of pocket.

Issue #1) fuel leak from top of fuel tank. This creates a strong fuel smell in cabin during any operation, and fuel leaking on driveway after operation. Fumes are strong enough that any open flame in cabin would detonate creating death and/or critical injury. The fuel pump has been replaced once in Aug 2017 costing over $600 dollars. Issue #2) both interior front door handles have broken resulting in doors being unable to open doors normally. To open doors, windows must be cranked down opening doors using the outside handle. The failure area is where door latch cable connects to rear of door handles. Both door handles have been replaced, but replaced service handles have sharp edges from plastic flash. Both issues are critical to safe vehicle operation. This could result in death and/or critical injury if either issue fails during any vehicle operation. As a disabled veteran, husband and father, both vehicle issues are dangerous and lack the resources to keep repairing these failures. An investigation, recall and/or replacement is needed asap.

I first had noticed my front passenger speaker would cut in and out. It didn't matter if the car was stationary or if I was driving. The following week I was driving through the parking lot of my job and the doors locks started locking and unlocking rapidly by themselves. And now they rarely ever do either when I try and push the lock buttons. So they either have to stay locked or unlocked depending the mood of the car. The following week I had a gas leak and had to have it serviced because that is very dangerous. The mechanic told me that there was a recall on that plastic piece to fuel system but only in southern states and I live in the North. And not to long after that my turn signal switch wouldn't stay on or it wouldn't shut off by it's self. Also dangerous trying to hold switch on while making a turn.

Strong gasoline odor from vehicle when parked and during operation. Very likely same problem addressed in NHTSA campaign 09V419000. Recommend that recall should include all model years with faulty fuel pump assembly, and should apply nationwide, not just "hot" states.

Recall !! my car VIN # doesn't have any recalls but my car fits the description of the recall fuel leakage around where the hose hooks up and also my fuel gage doesn't work

- Holly Springs, MS, USA

The fuel line rust out and leaks gas. This is a very dangerous situation but apparently not covered by recall 12V459000. This gas leak should defiantly included in that recall. My car is driven by a teenager and he did not notice the leak until I saw it. The repairs were over $800. This happened to both of our Chevy Cobalts in the same week.

I reported this back in 2016-1-28 ref.no.10822806 gas line corrosion problem, do to muffler right under gas lines and gas line up in pocket where heat and moisture cause early corrosion(poor design). GM had go me to a dealership and confirm corrosion problem (wanted 750 dollars to fix). Talk to rep.for GM, mentioned I felt poor design and protental safety =may cause fire. Did have fix at garage for 200dollars. Now corroding again after 2yrs. This confirms gas lines in pocket up above muffer traps heat and mositure causeing corrosion. Please advise company does not want to listen to me and I can't afford to replace gas line every 2yrs.. feel strongly about poor design and GM should be responsible. Fire hazard this is same car that had key problem, steering problem, gas line problem at tank and gas pump, yet they don't want to listen, help help help!!!!
