2009 Chevrolet Cobalt 4-DR

Fuel line rusted to the point of major leakage. Inside the heat wrap near the exhaust pipe, just forward of rear drivers side tire.

Passenger side seat caused a situation where the air bags were turned off and warning lights to come on in dash. This occurs sporadically, it happens if I move the seat or if some one sits in it then gets out of the car. Has happened since I first bought the car used.

My car has a fuel leak. I looked up to see if there was a recall and there was but not for my VIN. This is a serious and dangerous issue and one I think Chevrolet needs to fix. Why are some cars covered and others not with the same issue.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that a fuel odor was detected while the vehicle was parked and while driving. The contact noticed there was fuel leaking on the ground where the vehicle was parked. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and while the vehicle was on the lift, the contact observed there was corrosion on the fuel tank and fuel lines and a fuel leak next to the driver’s side exhaust pipe. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000. The VIN was unavailable.

SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE COMES ON WITH WARNING LIGHT MOSTLY IN COLDER TEMPERATURES AND WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS RANDOM AND DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME. HAPPENS WHEN JUST STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ALSO WHEN IN MOTION AND TURNING. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE. OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS JUST WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. HAS HAPPENED OVER THE LIFETIME OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. UNKOWN IF AIRBAGS WOULD WORK PROPERLY IN A CRASH!

whenever i would go to speed up my ecs active light would pop up, now it’s been popping up every time my wheel isn’t straight and randomly. it’s scary because it causes my car to bog down and the steering feels weird and my brakes get really rough

fuel line has corroded badly by the rear left wheel, possibly due to the material used for the line and by road salt being captured by a heat shield. The car now leaks fuel badly whenever we try and move it. The poor design (heat shield) and poor choice of materials (appears to be steel) have caused this leak. A fuel line shouldn't be made of steel.

Fuel line leaking - 2ft diameter puddle of gas in garage started July 23, 2021. Located just in front of left side rear tire. Currently car is parked outside awaiting repair. Could have burned house down. No warning lamps no symptoms, started smelling gas in house after dinner. Vehicle has not been inspected since leak began.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would shake, and the vehicle would power off inadvertently.

The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while his wife was reversing the steering wheel became inoperable. The power steering warning light was illuminated.

THE FUEL LINES HAVE CORRODED CAUSING A HAZARDOUS GAS LEAK BY THE FUEL TANK WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE FIRE AND OR EXPLOSION WHILE DRIVING. I NOTICED A GAS SMELL IN THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED AND UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION RECOGNIZED A GAS DRIP BY THE THE CORRODED FUEL LINES AND GAS TRAVELING DOWN THE LINES FROM THE LEAK. THANKFULLY I NOTICED THIS BEFORE A FIRE WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. HAD I HAD A DISABILITY WITH NO SENSE OF SMELL OR COVID19 AND NO SENSE OF SMELL THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE GONE UNNOTICED POSSIBLY CAUSING A FATAL HAZARD SHOULD THE CAR HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. MY GARAGE COULD HAVE ALSO CAUGHT FIRE. STAINLESS STEEL SHOULD NOT RUST AND THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS MATTER SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL ADDRESSED.

FUEL LEAK,. FUEL LEAKAGE FROM CAR, WILL NO LONGER START. BAD FUEL PUMP,BAD FUEL LINES. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW?

KEPT SEEING PUDDLES UNDERNEATH CAR NEAR DRIVER REAR TIRE, WENT TO GET OIL CHANGE AND MECHANIC SAID THAT THERE WERE LEAKS IN MY FUEL LINE. MECHANIC SHOWED ME AND IT WAS NOT A SMALL LEAK. HE SAID THAT IT IS A TOTAL RISK TO DRIVE AND CAN CATCH FIRE EASILY.

THE FIRST TIME I SMELLED GAS AND FOUND THE GAS LINE LEAKING FROM A BRACKET HOLDING THE GAS LINES WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO (2018), COST $100 DOLLARS TO GET FIXED. NOW THERE IS ANOTHER GAS LEAK FARTHER BACK NEAR THE GAS TANK COMING FROM ANOTHER BRACKET. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE GIVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH GAS LINE LEAKS. I DRIVE THE CAR ALMOST EVERY DAY, IT RARELY SITS FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS IN A ROW

I COULD HEAR A LITTLE SOMETHING MOVING AROUND UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE AGE. THEN FRONT WHEELS WHERE SHAKING JUST A BIT. THIS SHAKING PROCEEDED RAPIDLY AS IF I NEED AN ALIGNMENT OR TIRE BALANCING. THEN MY STEERING WENT OUT!!!!

THERE IS A FUEL LEAK IN FRONT OF THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THIS LEAK IS WORSE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THEY WOULD PAY TO REPAIR (AFTER I PAID THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE).

OBSERVED AN EXTENDED CRANKING TIME. DROVE TO MY DESTINATION DURING THE TRIP KEPT SMELLED HEAVY FUEL ODOR WHILE IT INTENSIFIED WHEN WAITING ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT. UPON PARKING THE CAR AT HOME IMMEDIATELY UPON EXIT NOTICED A PUDDLE OF GAS COLLECTING BY THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL. LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND FOUND GAS LEAKING FROM A CORRODED FUEL LINE.

MY CAR IS LEAKING GAS FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. I NOTICED A SMELL AND IT'S DRIPPING

STRONG GASOLINE VAPORS WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER STOPPING ON A 2009 COBALT, DRIVERS'S SIDE OF THE CAR. TOOK THE COBALT TO EMPIRE CHEVROLET IN HUNTINGTON, NY. COMPLAINED AND SHOWED THEM THE NTSB COBALT FUEL LINE INVESTIGATION SHEET, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX THE COBALT UNDER A RECALL, NTSB INVESTIGATION OR SERVICE BULLETIN. TOOK THE COBALT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE WHO REPLACED TWO LEAKING FUEL LINES FOR $450.00, BILL INCLUDED AS AN ATTACHMENT. THEY SAID THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THESE OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS A TOTAL JOKE ON GM'S PART AND COMPLETE FOOT DRAGGING BY THE NTSB FOR NOT MOVING SOONER. INVESTIGATING? - TRY DOING A WEB SEARCH.

THE FUEL LINE UNDER THE CAR HAS RUSTED AND CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT I AM LEAKING A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL OUT OF THE LINE. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, I SMELLED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE CAR OFF. THE CAR STRUGGLED TO START SO I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND LOOKED UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE A LARGE PUDDLE OF FUEL WAS FOUND UNDER MY CAR WITH A STEADY DRIP OF FUEL CONTINUING TO DRIP FROM THE FUEL LINE IN FRONT OF MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE.

I FIRST STARTED HAVING TROUBLE STARTING MY CAR ON 9/15/20. I WAS SMELLING A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FROM MY CAR. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT IT BECAUSE IT HAD NEVER GIVEN ME TROUBLE BEFORE. I SAW THE CAR LEAKING GASOLINE NEAR THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE. IT WAS LEAKING VERY QUICKLY. I LOOKED IT UP AND MANY PEOPLE MENTIONED A RECALL FOR THE YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR. THEY ALL SAID THEIR PARTICULAR CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. I THINK MORE CARS ARE HAVING THAT PROBLEM THEN THE COMPANY REALIZES. I AM AFRAID TO HAVE THE CAR PARKED ON THE STREET OR TO EVEN DRIVE IT, AS IT ALWAYS LEAVES A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE IN ITS WAKE. ALSO THE MUFFLER HAS STARTED BEING LOUD AT THE SAME TIME. I THE COMPLAINTS I READ BEING THE EXACT SAME, SAID THE PROBLEM WAS CORROSION IN THE GAS LINE STEMMING FROM THE BRACKETS HOLD THEM UP.

RUSTED OUT FUEL LINES LEAKING BADLY ON FLOOR LOOKS LIKE A FIRE HAZARD!! I NOTICED A VERY STRONG ORDER OF GASOLINE AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH CARS TO SEE IT DRIPPING AT A VERY FAST RATE I NOTICED IT AS I CAME BACK FROM A DRIVE ON FLAT SURFACE WAS HIGHWAY DRIVING

I FILLED UP TANK WITH GAS ,NOTICED GAS SMELL TWICE DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ,STARTER SKIPPED A BEAT A COUPLE TIMES WHEN STARING EARLY IN THE MORNING,, DIDNT NOTICE GAS SMELL. CHARGED CAR FOR 6 HOURS ON CHARGER.NEXT MORNING I DROVE ABOUT 8 MILES AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR I WENT BACK TO CAR AND NOTICED PUDDLE OF LIQUID ,SMELLED LIQUID ,, IT WAS GAS , SEEN IT DRIPPING RAPIDLY IN BIG DROPS ,CALLED AAA GOT THERE HOUR LATER AND IT HAD STOPPED.DRIPPED BEHIND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE.HAD IT TOWED READ ALOT OF THESE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS WITH COBALTS AND OTHER VEHICLES SAME CIRCUMSTANCES BUT SOME NOT COVER BY A RECALL ,FUEL LINES AND PUMPS ETC..ALL THE CARS SHOULD BE FIXED WITH THIS PROBLEM.ANYTIME

FUEL LINE BEHIND DRIVER DOOR AND IN FRONT OF REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE/AXEL - RUSTED AND LEAKING FUEL NEAR EXHAUST.

THE VEHICLE HAS FUEL LEAK WHEN EVER THE CAR IS RUNNING. NOTICE THIS FIRST TIME WHEN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. IT DRIPS FROM THE FUEL TANK DOWN TO THE DRIVER SIDE REAR END IN FRONT OF THE REAL DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. WHEN INQUIRED OVER THE INTERNET FOUND NUMEROUS SAME PROBLEM BEING CITED BY THE COBALT OWNERS. SURPRISED THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE POTENTIAL SEVERE CONSEQUNCE OF FIRE HAZARD.

THE LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY CORROSION OF METAL FUEL LINES NEAR POLYMER BLOCKS THAT HOLD THE LINES TO THE BODY. THE LEAKS ARE BENEATH AN INSULATION HEAT SHIELD NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE AND MUFFLER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 2010 WITH ABOUT 8,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S BEEN A GARAGE KEPT CAR. THE CORROSION IS JUST ON THE GAS LINES AND NOT SO MUCH ON THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.

LEAKS ARE CAUSED BY CORROSION OF METAL FUEL LINES NEAR POLYMER BLOCKS THAT HOLD THE LINES TO THE BODY. THE LEAKS ARE BENEATH AN INSULATION HEAT SHIELD NEAR THE EXHAUST PIPE AND MUFFLER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP ON 7/28/2020 MY CAR STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING WITHOUT HESITATION. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND QUICKLY REALIZED I WAS LOSING GAS. I ENDED UP LOSING MY TANK OF GAS AND HAD TO RETURN TO THE SHOP TO HAVE MY ENTIRE FUEL LINE REPLACED. I NOTICED THAT I WAS LEAKING SOMETHING WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND COULD SEE THE TRAIL OF GAS ON THE PAVEMENT. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE SHOP IT WAS SEVERELY LEAKING GAS NEAR THE REAR LEFT WHEEL WELL.

MY COBALT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A FUEL LEAK. UP UNTIL I BROUGHT IT INTO SERVICE, IT HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES ACCELERATING. IT WOULD SOMETIMES FEEL AS THOUGH IT WOULD GET STUCK INTO A SLUMP, WHERE EVEN DEPRESSING THE PEDAL COMPLETELY WOULD ONLY ALLOW ME TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE UP TO AROUND 45-50MPH. THIS WOULD THEN EVENTUALLY GET UNSTUCK AFTER COMING TO A STOP, OR AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN STARTING TO OCCUR OVER THE PAST YEAR. ALSO WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, THE CAR'S ACCELERATION STARTED BECOMING RATHER JERKY. IT WAS NOT A SMOOTH TRANSITION DURING THE ACCELERATION AND ROAD RATHER ROUGH DURING MY COMMUTES INTO TOWN. I HAD ATTEMPTED TO FLUSH OUT THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH 2-3 CANS OF SEAFOAM TO NO AVAIL. HERE RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES STARTING. FOR THE PAST 2-3 WEEKS IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 4-5 SECONDS TO START UP RATHER THAN INSTANTLY, AND THEN WITHIN THE PAST WEEK IT BEGAN NOT STARTING AT ALL UNTIL I TOGGLED THE KEY ON/OFF MULTIPLE TIMES TO PRIME THE FUEL. IT WOULD THEN USUALLY BE GOOD TO GO FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER DOWN THE STREET, AND THEY INFORMED ME THIS MORNING THAT IT IS A FUEL LEAK. THEY INDICATED THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE MORE INFORMATION FROM THE MECHANIC ON THE PRECISE LOCATION BESIDES THAT IT IS A 'FUEL LEAK' AND THEY INDICATED THEY DID NOT KNOW OF ANY OPEN INVESTIGATION ON THE MATTER, ONLY ACTIVE RECALLS. I REQUESTED THAT THEY PLEASE THOROUGHLY DOCUMENT THE ISSUE SO THAT I CAN PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS OPEN INVESTIGATION AS NEEDED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP ACCORDINGLY TO FIND OUT FURTHER INFORMATION, OR YOU MAY CONTACT ME FOR MORE INFORMATION AS NEEDED.

FUEL LEAK COMING FROM CORRODED FUEL LINES AT THE BEND LOCATED AT THE DRIVERSIDE REAR OF CAR. THE HEAT TAPE AROUD THE FUEL LINES HOLDS MOISTURE AND SALT WHICH CORRODED THE LINE. FUEL LEAK OCCURS RIGHT BY THE EXHAUST PIPE. DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED HOW MUCH OF A FIRE HAZARD THIS WAS AND THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXXED IMMEDIATELY. FUEL LINES SHOULD BE MADE OF STAINLESS TO PREVENT CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FIRE FROM OCCURING.

LEAKY FUEL LINE - GAS PUDDLE VISIBLE NEAR LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL WHEN PARKED WITH STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN DRIVING CAR.

THE GAS IS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINES. THEY ARE CORRODED. WHEN I EXIT THE CAR, THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED IN NORTH CAROLINA.

IN MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT, I RECENTLY NOTICED A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN GETTING OUT OF MY CAR AFTER A SHORT TRIP. YESTERDAY, AFTER I BACKED THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE TO INSTALL A NEW CAR SEAT FOR MY ONE YEAR OLD SON, I NOTICED THE SMELL AGAIN AND NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS DRIPPING AT A PRETTY FAST PACE. AFTER INVESTIGATING, I NOTICED IT COMING FROM A SECTION OF RUSTED FUEL LINE NEAR REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. AFTER LOOKING FOR RECALLS AND SERVICE BULLETINS, I CALLED A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY SAID THE LEAK WAS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $850 TO $950 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL LINES FROM ENGINE TO GAS TANK. I NOTICED HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS AUTOMOTIVE WEB CHAT SITES DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE FOR COBALT'S FROM 2006 TO 2010. THERE IS WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN INSULATOR AROUND THE LINES TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE HEAT THAT ACCUMULATES ROAD SALT AND MOISTURE OVER TIME AND CORRODES THE FUEL LINE AT THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS ISSUE PRESENTED A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION THAT COULD HAVE JEOPARDIZED THE LIVES AND SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AS WELL AS MY WIFE'S AND MY LIVES. MY CAR IS NOW USELESS UNTIL I CAN SAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

FUEL LEAKING OUT FROM A LINE LOCATED NEAR THE LEFT REAR WELL. THE. LEAKS ARE SEEMINGLY CAUSED BY CORRODING METAL FUEL LINES. CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS, AND I AM LOSING FUEL VERY QUICKLY. VEHICLE TAKES A LONG TIME TO START UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN FRONT OF HIS RESIDENCE, AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE HE STARTED TO SMELL FUEL AND SAW FUEL LEAKING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL UNKNOWN DEALERS WERE CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

IGNITION SWITCH WAS SAID TO BE THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR YEARS 2005-2010 .IGNITION SWITCH SAFETY ISSUE. STARTER MOTOR IS GOOD. BATTERY IS GOOD. ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. WILL NOT CRANK OR START.

FUEL LEAKING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE REAR OF VEHICLE. PIPES WERE CORRODED AND THE FUEL LEAK WAS CREATING PUDDLES IN MY GARAGE AND ON THE GROUND EVERYWHERE I WOULD GO. BOTH FUEL LINES & THE FUEL FILTER HAD TO BE REPLACED.

SAW FUEL DRIPPING FROM IN FRONT OF MY BACK LEFT TIRE.AFTER I PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

SOMETIME IN EARLY FEBRUARY OF 2018 I NOTICED THE SMELL GASOLINE ANYTIME I APPROACHED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO GET IN THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED THE GASOLINE WHEN I EXITED THE CAR AFTER DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I WAS ADVISED THE FUEL LINES WERE LEAKING DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION. I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL LINE AND VAPOR RETURN REPLACED IMMEDIATELY DUE TO THE DANGER PRESENTED BY LEAKING FUEL LINES. THE APPOINTMENT WITH MY MECHANIC WHEN THE FUEL LINES WERE REPLACED OCCURRED ON 2/19/2018. WHY AM FILING A COMPLAINT NOW? I SAW AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PUBLISHED ON 7/7/2020 STATING THE US WAS LOOKING INTO FUEL LEAKS IN OLDER CHEVY COBALTS AND CHEVY HHRS. AT THE TIME THE ISSUE WITH MY FUEL LINES HAPPENED, I DIDN'T BELIEVE I HAD ANY RECOURSE, SO I TOOK NO ACTION. AFTER SEEING THE ARTICLE, I WANTED THE NHTSA TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION SO THE INVESTIGATION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. I CAN PROVIDE A RECEIPT SHOWING I HAD THE FUEL LINES REPLACED IF NEEDED.

I HAD THE SAME LEAKING FUEL LINE PROBLEM THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING. REPLACED RUSTED FUEL LINES FOR $781.59 AT 199,699 MILES.

FUEL LEAK AT LEFT REAR WHEEL. FUEL LINE CORRODED AND LEAKING FUEL ON GROUND. FUEL LINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. FUEL LEAK IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. LEAK WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO HOT EXHAUST PIPE.

THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND AFTER I STOPPED THE CAR, I SMELLED GASOLINE AND ABOUT A PINT OF GAS LEAKED OUT OF THE GROUND JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEELS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS PARKING IN THE OPEN DRIVEWAY AND NOT IN MY GARAGE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LICENSED MECHANIC AND HE WAS ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IT IS BACK ON THE ROAD. I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT OTHER COBALT OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ENCOURAGE YOUR DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS AS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAN JUST ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE UPLOADED THE BILL FOR REPAIRS. $952.09. THANK YOU, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE CODE P2135 THAT SENDS THE CAR INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLYWITH 3 YOUNG BOYS IN THE CAR WITH ME. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY, ECM, ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY WITH NEW SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSORS, SPARK PLUGS AND SPARK PLUG WIRES. AFTER ALL THESE THINGS I AM OUT OF IDEAS ONWHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING IN BUT ALL THOSE NEW PARTS HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT KEEPS OCCURRING. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A RECALL OR YOU CAN AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE.

FUEL LEAKING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD AND GM REFUSES TO RECALL THE ISSUE AND COVER IT, EVEN THOUGH THIS SAME ISSUE HAS IMPACTED NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS. WE ARE COMING OUT OF OUR OWN POCKETS FOR ALMOST A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR EACH INSTANCE AT CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T33495_DS573685 IF ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE, IMAGINE HOW MANY AREN'T ON ONLINE FORUMS WITH THE PROBLEM. WHEN YOU SEE THINGS LIKE THIS, IT NEEDS TO BE COVERED. AGAIN, COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

IT SEEMS THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS RECALL PROBLEM WOULD APPLY TO ALL MODELS NO MATTER WHERE PURCHASED. I'M ASSUMING THE CAR PURCHASED IN AZ WAS MADE THE SAME WAY AS ONE PURCHASED IN PA. I NOTICED THE LEAK WHEN CAR WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY.

MY VEHICLE HAS A GAS LEAK. THE TWO FUEL LINES CONNECTED TO IT ARE RUSTED.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON THERE IS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYING SERVICE AIR BAG. BUT IF YOU TURN IT OFF AND ON IT IS GONE. IT COULD BE A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM OR SOMETHING REALLY WRONG.

HELLO, I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY COBALT. IT WAS RUNNING OKAY. I WENT TO THE STORE FOR SOME DOG FOOD. PARKED THE CAR, CAME BACK TO GO BACK HOME AND THE KEY 🔑 IN THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN. IT WAS LOCKED OR JAMMED, DON'T KNOW. KEY WOULD NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO TURN THE CAR ON!!! I WENT TO THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FROM GENERAL MOTORS ON MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT. I FOUND A NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID# 14V171000 THAT SHOWS THE RECALL FOR MY CAR. IT DESCRIBES AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. I CALLED THE CHUCK NASH CHEVROLET WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THEY REPAIRED IT WITH A DEFECTIVE IGNITION-SWITCH OR NOT AT ALL. THE RECALL STATES THAT SOME VEHICLES WERE REPAIRED WITH DEFECTIVE OR USED PARTS. MARY BARRA, GENERAL MOTORS CEO STATED THAT ALL AFFECTED RECALL VEHICLES WOULD BE REPAIRED UP TO CUSTOMER SAFETY STANDARDS. I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. THIS CAR IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THANKS. GOD BLESS.

MY CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE AND OUT. CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS FUEL LINE LEAKAGE WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY FOR THIS MODEL. BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHICH WAS DONE IN 2012. FUEL LINE LEAK DID NOT HAPPEN IN MY CAR UNTIL NOW. IT IS LIKE DRIVING AROUND IN A FUEL BOMB WITH MY LITTLE KIDS. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET ($1100) FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH MUCH.

AFTER DRIVING CAR APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES ON COUNTY ROADS, AT 25-35MPH. I ARRIVE AT MY DESTINATION, STOP, SHIFT INTO PARK, AND REACH TO TURN KEY OFF. I AM UNABLE TO MOVE KEY FROM THE RUN POSITION, AND/OR REMOVE THE KEY. SO MY CAR IS SITTING THERE RUNNING AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER NEARLY 10 MINUTES TRYING TO TURN THE KEY BACK TO OFF WHILE JIGGLING THE KEY AND THE STEERING WHEEL, AND SHIFTING THE GEAR SHIFT DOWN AND BACK TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES, I AM UNABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY. I RESORT TO PULLING A FUSE UNDERHOOD TO KILL THE ENGINE.

WIRING HARNESS IN DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR CREATES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT DISABLES SIDE IMPACT SENSORS/AIRBAGS. SYMPTOMS MATCH EXACTLY THE AN EXISTING RECALL (15V500000) THAT LISTS ONLY THE 2010 MODEL YEAR AS BEING AFFECTED. THE DISABLING OF THE AIRBAG HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS ROLLED DOWN. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AND STATIONARY.

MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A WRECK 3/15/19. HER CAR FLIPPED AND SHE AND HER FRIEND WERE INJURED. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED

THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING. AFTER INSPECTION THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHARRED AND THE ELECTRICAL PLUG RUNNING FROM THE LID THAT LOCKS UNDER THE TANK LOCKING RING CRUMBLED APART. IT WAS SO BURNT ITS A WONDER A FIRE DIDN'T START SINCE IT'S INSIDE THE TANK. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE THE LID THAT SEALS IN THE CONNECTOR AND ALL THE HOSES TO THE FUEL PUMP IS NON EXISTENT. THE PART NUMBER IS NOT EVEN LISTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED AT LOVE CHEVROLET (100 PARKRIDGE DR, COLUMBIA, SC 29212, (803) 454-9382), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A FUEL LEAK.

FUEL LEAKING FROM DRIVER REAR SIDE IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING ON AND STARTING CAR SITTING STATIONARY. NO DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE LEAK. JUST ONE DAY STARTED LEAKING.

FUEL SMELL COMING FROM CAR WHEN JUST SITTING, STARTED SMALL, NOW FUEL/GAS IS GUSHING OUT. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. MECHANIC STATED FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND CRACKING. I LIVE IN A STATE IN WHICH RUSTING SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A GM MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. CALLED GM TO SEE IF IT WAS RECALLED AND THEY SAID NO. WHILE SOME HAVE BEEN RECALLED MY VIN HAS NOT. GM EXCLUDES THIS FROM THEIR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES COVERAGE AS WELL. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, NOT THE ONLY ONE GM HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR COULD CATCH FIRE WITH THIS TYPE OF FUEL LEAK. PLEASE HELP, DUE TO THE INABILITY TO DRIVE IT, I'M NOW STUCK PAYING $650-$850 REPAIR BILL. GM NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ME AS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AND NOTICED THAT ONE OF MY BACK BRAKES WAS STICKING AND SO I TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND FLUID LEVEL WAS FINE AND THERE WAS NO AIR IN THE BRAKE LINE. I FEEL THE CAUSE OF THIS IS BAD CALIPERS AND SOME OTHERS I HAVE TALKED HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO SAFETY PRE-INSPECTION STICKER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM DEL CHEVROLET (1644 LANCASTER AVE, PAOLI, PA 19301, (484) 324-4265).

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THESE COMMENTS APPLY TO MANY SEDANS! ROOF IS TOO LOW! VISION IS OBSTRUCTED . CAN'T LOOK UP. CAN'T SEE TRAFFIC LIGHTS CHANGE WHEN STOPPED IN FRONT OF THEM! ROOF SUPPORTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE FRONT MAKE DANGEROUS BLIND SPOTS. ASIDE FROM THIS , I AM ONLY 6 FEET TALL. YES I AM NOW IN MY 60'S. MOST SEDANS ARE TOO LOW TO THE GROUND. I CAN'T GET IN OR OUT! ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO PARK BESIDE A CURB. I CAN'T GET OUT! AND JUST A NOTE: AIRBAGS SAVE LIVES BUT I HATE BUCKET SEATS AND CONSOLES WITH CUP HOLDERS. SO MANY DISTRACTIONS NOW! I WISH I COULD STILL HAVE BENCH SEATS. THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO OBSERVED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE QUARTER PANEL AND FUEL LINE WERE CORRODED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,500.

THERE IS A SMELL OF FUEL AND SEEPAGE SEEMS TO COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS JUST STARTED AND IS REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED.

WE HAVE OWNED A 2009 CHEVY COBALT FOR 3 YEARS - AND EACH YEAR, SOMETHING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE FIRST YEAR, THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WAS PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET. THE SECOND YEAR, THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. ONCE AGAIN, THE CAR IS ACTING THE SAME AS BEFORE EACH TIME THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED (STRONG GAS ODOR, LEAKING FUEL, DECREASED POWER WHEN TURNING ESPECIALLY, AS IF SUFFICIENT FUEL ISN'T BEING SUPPLIED TO THE MOTOR) FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO REPORT THE REPEAT CONCERNS (CASE # 9-4957891748) AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT (#12191) AVAILABLE FOR A FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACEMENT THAT OUR CAR MAY QUALIFY FOR AND WAS DIRECTED TO TAKE IT TO ANY GM DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW WHICH I DID THE SAME DAY. I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND BASED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW, THE PROBLEM THIS TIME IS DUE TO THE FUEL LINES RUSTING OUT, WHICH WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT. THERE ARE ONLY 121,000 MILES ON OUR VEHICLE AND IT IS KEPT IN A GARAGE WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. NEEDING TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES NOW AFTER HAVING TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE (AND ALL WITHIN 3 YEARS) SEEMS TO BE POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP ON BEHALF OF THE MANUFACTURER, AND AFTER RESEARCHING SIMILAR CONCERNS ONLINE REVEALS AN ABUNDANCE OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF CONTINUED FUEL SYSTEM REPAIRS/MALFUNCTIONS OF OTHER CHEVY COBALT OWNERS FOR THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT CONSISTENTLY HAS A COMPROMISED FUEL SYSTEM, AND DEEMS FURTHER RESPONSE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO THE EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS THAT HAVE BEEN PROVIDED A VEHICLE THAT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE, AND HAVE BEEN PLACED UNDER THE UNNECESSARY FINANCIAL BURDEN OF REPEAT REPAIRS AND CONCERNS.

I HAVE 2009 COBALT WITH 87.5K MILES HAS RUSTED OUT FUEL LINE NEAR CLIP UNDER DRIVER'S SIDE. CAR HAS HARD START DUE TO LACK OF PRESSURE IN LINE AND LEAKED WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. THE ENTIRE LINE NEEDS REPLACED. NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL, BUT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED IN OTHER STATES. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE DRIVEN OFF THE LOT AND TOOK CAR OF UNDERSIDE DUE TO PREVIOUS KNOWN RECALLS, IT IS WELL MAINTAINED. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE LEAK TO THE EXHAUST, THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR WASN'T DRIVABLE AND THE PARTS WERE DIFFICULT TO FIND FROM DEALERS. I HAD MINE REPLACED AT NATIONAL CHAIN REPAIR SHOP FOR ABOUT $600 COMPARED TO WHAT DEALER WOULD HAVE CHARGED. LOOKING AT DATABASE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE DUE TO THE NATURE OF IT BEING A FUEL LEAK, ESPECIALLY WITH EXHAUST SO CLOSE TO THE LEAK. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED OR EXPANDED TO ENSURE THE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR CAR BLOWING UP OR CATCHING FIRE. DEALERS SEEM CLUELESS AS DOES THE MANUFACTURER WHICH WILL PROBABLY NOW CLAIM THIS IS DUE TO AGE OF THE CAR SINCE MANY REPORTS ARE ON CARS 10 YEARS OLD AT THIS POINT.

2009 CHEVROLET COBALT WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING WHEEL BECAME TIGHT AND HARD TO STEER

FUEL LINE ROTTING OUT. FUEL SPRAYING ONTO EXHAUST SYSTEM WHEN DRIVING.POTENTIAL FIRE/EXPLOSION SAFETY CONCERN. CONTACTED DEALER OF PURCHASE NO RECALL / NO HELP.

GASOLINE LEAKING IN FRONT OF LEFT REAR WHEEL BESIDE EXHAUST PIPE.LEAKING ALL THE TIME SITTING OR MOVING LEAKING IN SAME PLACE AS RECALLED COBALTS IN 2012 THAT WAS IN A HAND FULL OF WARM STATES.PA IS AS WARM AS ANY OTHER STATE

COMING OUT OF A ROUNDABOUT IN RUSH HOUR WHEN A CAR AHEAD OF HER SUDDENLY STOPPED. SHE HAD ABOUT ONE AND HALF TO TWO CAR LENGTHS AND HER SPEED WAS ABOUT 35 MPH. SHE APPLIED HER BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT RESPOND. HER CAR REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE HAS A SPRAINED NECK AND BACK. SHE HAS BEEN OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS PER DOCTOR'S REQUEST. MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR.

FUEL LINE RUSTS THROUGH CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT NEXT TO EXHAUST PIPE. HAPPENS TO EVAP LINE AS WELL. POOR DESIGN IN THE HEAT SHIELDING TRAPS MOISTURE WHICH RUSTS THROUGH THE LINE. FUEL LEAKS OUT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, PARKED, MOVING OR NOT. REAR BRAKE CALIPER STICKS OUT FROM USING THE PARKING BRAKE AND PAD STICKS TO ROTOR CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR.

UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUTTING IT OFF. YOU CAN NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. YOU ARE UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE POSITION TO REMOVE IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATLY.

FUEL LINES UNDER THE CAR, DRIVER SIDE REAR STARTED LEAKING FUEL. THE LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND FUEL LEAKED PAST THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHERE A POTENTIAL CAR FIRE COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF NOT NOTICED RIGHT AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND OFF WHEN I NOTICED THE STRONG SCENT OF GAS AND SAW A SMALL PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDER THE CAR. REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AT PORTER CHEVROLET SERVICE IN NEWARK, DELAWARE. REPAIRS CONSISTED OF REPLACING THE FEED LINE AND FILL LINE. THE ESTIMATE QUOTED WAS $800. REPAIRS ENDED UP COSTING $480.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ACCELERATOR STICKS AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET IT TO STOP IS TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES.

I TOOK THE REPAIR BILL TO GANLEY CHEVROLET DEALER LOCATED AT 13865 BROOKPARK RD, BROOKPARK OH 44142. MAN IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECKED WITH HIS SUPERVISOR ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT THEN GAVE ME FORM TO FILL OUT TO SEND TO GMAC FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I CONTACTED GMC TO VERIFY THE CORRECT MAILING ADDRESS AND MAILED THE FORM TO THEM ON AUGUST 6TH THEY SAID I SHOULD GET THE REIMBURSEMENT. I DIDN'T HEAR BACK SO I CALLED THEM ON OCT 15TH. THEY WANTED ME TO FAX PAPERWORK AND REGISTRATION TO THEM AND SAID REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE FORTHCOMING. I FAXED THE PAPERWORK TO THEM ON OCTOBER 18TH. I RECEIVED A CALL ON OCTOBER 25TH AND WAS TOLD NO REIMBURSEMENT. MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 38,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIR, MECHANIC SAID LINES ON FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WERE DRY ROTTED AND THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. HE HAD TO DROP THE TANK AND REPLACE THE LINES AND THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $486.00. GMAC REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIRS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE STATE SECRETARY, I CONTACTED RUTH JOHNSON, SECRETARY OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN PER BBB INSTRUCTIONS. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HER THAT I SHOULD CONTACT YOU. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BUT PER GMAC IT IS NO LONGER VALID. CAN YOU HELP?

LEAKING FUEL RIGHT UNDER THE DRIVERSIDE BY THE BACK DRIVERSIDE TIRE. BIG NOTICEABLE PUDDLE OF FUEL. CAN'T BE GOOD FOR GAS BY HEAT

CAR STARTED TO LEAK FUEL FAIRLY QUICKLY, PRESUMABLY FOR NO REAL REASON. ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS, HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I NOTICED A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL SOON AFTER, CHECKED UNDER AND CAR WAS DRIPPING GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V073000 (STEERING) WAS CLOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

AS I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT I HAD LOST MY POWER STEERING. I COULD BARELY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP MY CAR FROM HITTING THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE AS I BACKED OUT.

FUEL SMELL AND FOUND THE BOTTOM OF THE GAS TANK WET AND DRIPPING, FORMING A PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THE LEAK ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND RUNNING. OVERNIGHT THE FUEL HAS EVAPORATED FROM THE FLOOR AND DOESN'T BEGIN LEAKING AGAIN UNTIL CAR IS STARTED AND RUNNING.

GAS LINE ROTTED OUT IN MULTIPLE PLACES

THE COBALT IS LEAKING GAS FROM A LINE NEAR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS LOSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED WHILE NOT IN USE. GAS POOLS UNDER THE CAR, THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG AND EASILY RECOGNIZED AS GAS. SINCE I NOTICED THE SMELL, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL/YEAR OF COBALT FOR THE ISSUE I AM EXPERIENCING, HOWEVER MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL. I WANTED TO REACH OUT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS RECALL COULD HAVE AFFECTED MY CAR ALONG WITH THE OTHERS MADE IN THE SAME PLANT.

WHEN ACCELERATING HARD TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY FROM EXIT OR GOING UP A HILL THE ACCELERATOR GETS SUCK. THE CAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WITH OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. WE JUST PRAY WE CAN GET OVER TO BREAK DOWN LANE WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP CAR IS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL, KEEPING YOUR FOOT ON BRAKE AND PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ONCE THE CARE IS IN PARK YOU MUST SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART. IT YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE WITHOUT SHUTTING CAR OFF IT WILLL START RUNNING BY ITSELF AGAIN GOING 65MP IN THE BREAK DOWN LANE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT WAS IN 2009 WITH ONLY 700 MILES ON THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME WAS IN 2014 AND AGAIN SEPTEMBER 2018. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE IT DIDN'T HAPPENED. TOLD ME IT WAS A FREAK OCCURRENCE.PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR IS A 2009 MODEL WITH ONLY 23,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. MY HUSBAND DROVE MY CAR THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. HE WAS ON THE MASS PIKE AND ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. WE CALLED GM HEADQUARTERS BECAUSE WE GOT NO WHERE WITH OUR DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST. WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF PROBLEM UNLESS WE PAID FOR THE ALL TESTS FIRST WHICH WE DID TWICE BEFORE. ALL THREE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A HIGHER POWER WAS WATCHING OVER US. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE. TRAVELING 65MP IN THE BREAK DOWN LANE IS NO JOKE. THE CAR HAS ALSO HAD 2 RECALLS ON IT THAT WERE FIXED.

STRONG FUEL SMELL, TROUBLE STARTING CAR, NO VISIBLE LEAK. NOT COVERED UNDER COBALT FUEL RECALL. THE PROBLEMS INDICATE THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO GET THESE UNSAFE CARS FIXED.

2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL LEAKAGE AND RECALL FOR MODEL. REPAIRS TO CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO RUST AN CORROSION. *AS *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS SAYING NEEDS MAINTENANCE AND THE MOTOR HAS NO COMPRESSION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FUEL ODOR CAME THROUGH THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINE NEXT TO THE EXHAUST PIPE WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLER BROTHERS CHEVROLET (9035 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, ELLICOTT CITY, MD 21042, (410) 988-6165) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINE, WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO THE CHASSIS, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 240,000.

FUEL LINES BAD AND LEAKING THE DEALER STATED IT WASNT UNDER RECALL BUT DID TELL ME THAT IT SHOULD OF BEEN AS MANY AS HE HAS FIXED OVER 100 OF THEM SINCE 07 COBALTS. THE COST OVER 600.00 DOLLARS. IT WILL SIT UNTIL I WIN THE LOTTERY CHEVY SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX IT FOR FREE.I JUST PAID THE CAR OFF LAST MONTH GO FIGURE.

GAS WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. BOLTS AND STRAPS HOLDING FUEL TANK WERE RUSTED AND DEALER HAD TO REMOVE.

GAS SMELL AFTER DRIVING CAR. THIS IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, BUT ONLY IN HOT CLIMATES! SO WHAT IF OUR CAR BLOWS UP IN OUR GARAGE DUE TO GAS FUMES. THE GAS FUME VOLUME IS HIGH, AND I FEEL UNSAFE.

PURCHASED USED 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT LT COUPE VEHICLE SMELLS IF GASOLINE BUT VIN NUMBER NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. VISIBLE PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND THE GASOLINE DEPLETES QUICKLY. NEED REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS. GM NEEDS TO EXPAND RECALL. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. I HAVE CHILDREN AS I'M SURE MANY OF US DO, I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK THEIR LIVES BECAUSE GM HASN'T INCLUDED ENOUGH VEHICLES IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM PLASTIC FUEL LINE UNDER CAR. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN TEXAS BY MY AUNT AND I UNDERSTAND MANY CARS OF THE SAME TYPE HAVE THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. WHILE I JUST NOTICED THIS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FIRE TO MY CAR AS OF NOW RELATED TO THIS I AM VERY CONCERNED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE IGNITION SWITCH WON'T TURN ON AND SOMETIMES WON'T TURN OFF ITS VERY LOOSE ONCE YOU DO GET IT ON AND NOW WON'T TURN OVER AT ALL

IF MY TANK IS QUITE FULL IT LEAKS GAS TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE, I HAVE A SMALL PUDDLE WHERE EVER IT SITS. I FIRST NOTICED A STRONG ODOR THAN COUPLE DAYS LATER A PUDDLE OF GAS IT PROBABLY DOES IT ALSO WHILE DRIVING TO.. DONT HAVE CAMERA TO TAKE PICTURES.

HAVE A SMALL PUDDLE LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR ON DRIVERS SIDE

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 2009 CHEVY COBALT LS SEDAN AND I ONLY HAD IT SINCE MID AUGUST 2018 AND ALL WAS FINE WHEN I PURCHASED. NOW I HAVE A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FROM UNDER DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL AREA AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE AND THEN PARKED . I CALLED THE GM HOTLINE THAT I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLINE AND THEY SAID THAT ITS AN OUT OF POCKET PROBLEM AND THAT MY VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL WHICH HAS BEEN ISSUED IN SEVERAL OTHER STATES FOR FREE OF CHARGE. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED,FIXED IN ONE STATE FREE OF CHARGE BY GM AND NOT FIXED AT ALL IN ANOTHER. A FUEL PROBLEM OR A LEAK OF ANT KIND SHOULD BE A CONCERN FOR GM AND IS A MAJOR ISSUE.I'M LOCATED IN PENNSYLVANIA BUT MY VIN SAYS I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL OFFERED ELSEWHERE,SO SHOULD I HAVE TO FOOT A REPAIR BILL FOR AN ISSUE THAT GM MOST DEFINITELY KNOWS ABOUT. I'M CONFUSED, THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS BEING DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL FOR THE OTHER AREAS YET I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE THIS RECALL IS NOT IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES NOT JUST SOME OF THEM AND FREE OF CHARGE .I RELAYED INFO TO A GM REP ON 9/10 /18 IN THE EVENING AND ALL SHE COULD DO WAS APOLIGIZE AND THEN TELL ME THAT IT DEPENDED ON WHICH MANUFACTURING PLANT MADE THE VEHICLE. WHAT THAT HAS TO DO WITH IT STUMPS ME I TOLD HER THAT IS SHODDY AND SUB STANDARD WORK SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT GENERAL MOTORS EXPENSE NOT HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA $1000 OR SO SITTING AROUND TO SHELL OUT. ALL I SEEM TO BE GETTING IS THE RUN AROUND. A PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULD BE OF GRAVE CONCERN TO GENERAL MOTORS AND NOT GIVEN SO SOME OWNERS AND NOT OTHERS. I'M SURE IF IT WAS THEIR VEHICLE IT WOULD BE PROMPTLY RECALLED AND REPAIRED. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE. THIS JUST ISN'T GOOD BUSINESS GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME .BUT I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER CAR AND HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO GET FIXED I HAVE READ ON HERE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE HOPEFUULY IT WILL BE A RECALL

CONNECTOR FEEDING POWER TO THE A/C-HEATER BLOWER MELTED; CAUSED A CRACKLING SOUND, A SMELL, AND THE FAN TO STOP WORKING. THE CONNECTOR MELTED TOGETHER. TO GET A PICTURE OF THE PIN THAT FAILED REQUIRED ME TO BREAK THE CONNECTOR. POWER WAS PRESENT ON THE BROWN WIRE AS SOON AS THE IGNITION IS ON - THE BLOWER DID NOT NEED TO BE OPERATING TO GENERATE HEAT AT THE CONNECTOR. THE WIRE LEADING TO THE CONNECTOR WAS DISCOLORED FROM THE HEAT.

FUEL LINE LEAKING RIGHT AT GAS TANK. SMELLED FUEL WHEN I STOPPED FOR THE LAST WEEK OR SO. FINALLY LOOK UNDER AND LINES ARE COMPLETELY CORRODED. LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT IS VERY FAMOUS AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

FUEL LEAKING FROM RUSTED FUEL LINE AT EXACT PLACE WHERE MANY OTHER COLBALTS ARE LEAKING. MOUNT USED TO SECURE LINES OR TAPE USED TO INSULATE LINES TRAP WATER AND CAUSE PREMATURE RUSTING. LINE AND LEAK IS APPROX. 5 TO 6 INCHES FROM EXHAUST PIPE.

THERE'S A STRONG RATTLE NOISE BELOW THE CARS WHICH COMES FROM A PLASTIC GASKET LOCATED ON THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN, THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND DENOTES PPOR MANUFACTURER QUALITY. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU PASS OVER A MINOR OBSTACLE.

FUEL LEAKING FROM VEHICLE CAUSING A DANGEROUS GAS PUDDLE UNDER THE VEHICLE AND GAS VAPORS SHAPING INTO VEHICLE. GM COVERS THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT DOESN'T COVER ALL VINS WITH SPECIAL BULLETIN 12191B.

HEADLIGHTS FAILING WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF REPLACEMENT. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. LOW BEAM. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH SIDE AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN LAST 75,000 MILES.

THE KEY IS STUCK IN MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT CAR,I CAN NOT PAY $300 TO GET IT FIXED,I'M A WIDOW ON LIMITED INCOME,WHAT CAN I DO? THE CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED,IT'S A LEMON,NO GOOD,HOPE U CAN HELP ME,THANKS.

WE WERE PARKING AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO OPERATE, REALLY CONCERNED THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY

FUEL LINES HAVE STARTED LEAKING VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THESE FUEL LINES REPLACED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FAILED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" WAS DISPLAYED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, MY CAR WONT START AND THE ANTI THEFT ON THE DASH COMES ON BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON TO KILL THE BATTERY. ALSO SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON BUT GOES OFF RIGHT AFTER. LAST THING IS MY POWER LOCKS WOULD GO CRAZY JUST LOCKING AND UNLOCKING EITHER WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF OR IN MOTION.

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, POWER STEERING FAILED AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS WORSE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW. FOLLOWING THE ROAD WAS VERY DIFFICULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND TURNING INTO TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EMITTED A STRONG FUEL ODOR WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE PARKED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND FUEL ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

SO, I OPEN THE SWITCH OF THE CAR AND WHEN I SEE WAS A BIG LEAK OF GAS ON THE FLOOR AND I DOUBLE CHECK AND IT WAS GASOLINE I SCARED AND DON'T MOVE THE CAR. I CHECK ON LINE AND THEY SAID THE COBALT 2009 HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM 12V459000 FUEL SYSTEM AND I CALL THE DEALER AND SAID MY CAR NOT COVERED FOR RECALL. IS VERY DANGERUS CAN GET FIRE AND INVOLVED LIVES.

NOTICEABLE GAS SMELL FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN NOTICED GAS DRIPPING FROM FUEL LINE JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL. LEAK WAS AT A CLAMP ATTACHED TO THE UNDERBODY. DRIPPING AT A RATE OF 20-30 DROPS A MINUTE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START. THE VEHICLE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AND FUEL WAS NOTICED ON THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOSEPH CHEVROLET (8733 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251) FOR OTHER REPAIRS AND THE FAILURE BEGAN AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ONLY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

CAR STARTED TO HAVE A FUEL SMELL AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND EXITING THE CAR TO THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL. THE SMELL WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN EXITING. AFTER LOOKING UNDER, I NOTICED A SMALL PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE GROUND, AND AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE FUEL LINES HAVE A LEAK AROUND THE CLIP HOLDING THE FUEL LINES ONTO FRAME.

ELECTROMAGNETIC METER (EMF METER FOR BOTH WIRELESS & NON-WIRELESS FORMS OF ELECTRICAL RADIATION) USED TO MEASURE ELECTRICAL RADIATION LEVELS READ HIGH LEVELS OF RADIATION THAT THE METER FELT WAS OVER-THE-LIMIT ONLY WHEN POWERING THE VEHICLE ON BUY TURNING THE KEY (WITH A BATTERY & GAS IN THE VEHICLE). THE INCREASE OF ELECTRICAL POWER SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE METER INCREASING. THERE ARE MANY WIRES THAT WERE UNDER THE SEAT THAT ARE SETTING OFF THE METER WHEN HELD WITHIN 12 INCHES OF IT (IN THE AREA THE DRIVER & PASSENGER WOULD SIT - ON THE SEAT). PERHAPS, A RECALL AND ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING NEEDS TO BE ADDED IN THE AREA WHERE THE PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS SIT.

WHEN PARKED I KEEP SMELLING STRONG GAS SMELL. I STARTED TO WORRY AS IT GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER SO I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND GAS LEAKING DOWN THE BACK SIDE AND FRONT SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD THING AND I SEE WHERE THEY HAVE RECALLED MY SAME YEAR MODEL FROM OTHER STATES. I LIVE CLOSE TO FLA WHICH COULD BE REASON FOR MY FUEL SYSTEM TO FAIL FROM TEMPERATURE. I FEEL THAT IT ISN'T SAFE AT ALL AND I HAVE TO HAVE THIS CAR FOR WORK AND TRAVEL BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED DUE TO GM NOT PRODUCING UP TO STANDARDS. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT AND HOPE THAT NOTHING CATCHES FIRE.

LEAKING FUEL LINES ABOVE EXHAUST. WHERE THE FUEL LINE COMES DOWN OUT OF THE TANK AND RUNS FORWARD, THERE IS A HOLDER THAT WAS WEARING ON THE FUEL LINE AND CAUSED A HOLE AND A LEAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK STARTED TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CRISWELL CHEVROLET OF THURMONT, 111 FREDERICK ROAD, THURMONT, MD 21788) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE AND FUEL PUMP MODULE WERE RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

FUEL LINE ROTTED OUT NEAR MIDDLE OF CAR. IT WAS NOT LEAKING WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE, BUT SMELLED OF GAS WHEN I GOT TO WORK, AND WAS MISSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY IN-LAWS WHO HAVE A COBALT. ABSOLUTE JUNK, WITH NO THOUGHT OF BEING DESIGNED WITH CORROSION RESISTANCE IN MIND. UNDERSIDE OF CAR IS HOSED OFF EVERY OTHER WEEK DURING WINTER MONTHS, NOT OTHER VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED FUEL LINE FAILURES DESPITE INCREASED RELATIVE AGE.

WHILE I WAS STARTING THE CAR MY AIR BAG LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING ON AND OFF. WHILE TRAVELING ON CITY STREETS THE AIR BAGS WAS ALSO BLINKING ON AND OFF.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN PARKING CAR AND TURNING VEHICLE OFF PULLING KEY OUT GETS STUCK HAVE TO WIGGLE IT OUT GOT HIT ON DRIVERSIDE FRONT END NO AIRBAGS CAME OUT THE TIME I GOT HIT DRIVER SIDE. IT WAS BECAUSE I TRIED TO STOP AND VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING WOULDN'T STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT WAS AFRAID THE STEERING ABILITY MAY SEIZE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY ONE AND A HALF MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,621.

I STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN I WAS EXITING MY CAR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, MY GAS LINE WAS DRIPPING AT A VERY FAST PACE AND THERE WAS A SMALL PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER MY CAR. I ALSO DID A FEW GOOGLE SEARCHES, AND I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY 2009 CHEVY COBALT OWNER TO RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN I WOULD GET HOME FROM WORK AND PARK MY CAR WHEN I STARTED NOTICING THE SMELL.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE AND JIGGLE THE KEY AND THE SHIFTER TO GET IT TO COME OUT. DROVE THE VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE APPROX 15 MILES, PARKED AND KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. SPENT APPROX 15 MINUTES TRYING TO GET KEY OUT, FINALLY AFTER MUCH WIGGLING AND JIGGLING IT CAME OUT.

WHEN THE CAR IS AT A STABLE SPEED, TYPICALLY BETWEEN 30-45 MPH, AND THE RPMS AROUND 1500, THE CAR WITH JERK FORWARD AND THE RPMS WILL JUMP AND DROP REPEATEDLY UNTIL YOU EITHER ACCELERATE, OR LET OFF THE GAS. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE THAT OCCURS DURING ALMOST ALL COMMUTES WITH THIS VEHICLE.

FUEL LINE LEAK DUE TO ABRASION BY BODY CLIP. LEAK LOCATED FORWARD OF LEFT REAR WHEEL WHERE FUEL LINE IS INSULATED FROM EXHAUST

STEERING COLUMN RATTLES.

MY VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN PARK, IT WOULDN'T START AND WOULD STILL ROLL WHEN IN PARK. WE HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CABLE CLIP OR INSTALLED IMPROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT A RECALL AND SAID IT WAS CLOSED DUE TO A DEALERS INSPECTION IN 2012. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT IN TO GET FIXED AND IT APPEARS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RECALLED PART. GM STILL REFUSES TO COVER IT. I AM ENCLOSING BELOW MY EMAIL TO GM BELOW WITH ATTACHMENTS AND LINKS. ANY HELP WITH THIS IS APPRECIATED [XXX] TO:CUSTOMERASSISTANCE@CHEVROLET.COM CC:[XXX] MAR 16 AT 10:54 AM THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN ON MARCH 14TH TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND OFFER THE INVOICE OF WHAT THEY FOUND AND FIXED FOR YOUR REVIEW. THEY SAID THE CLIP WAS FULLY ENGAGED BUT THE CABLE WAS STILL SLIPPING. I ASKED THAT THEY GIVE ME THE OLD PART BACK FOR MY INSPECTION. I ALSO OFFER A VIDEO OF MY REVIEW OF THE CABLE, PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW. THE THIRD ATTACHMENT IS THE 1ST PAGE OF THE INVOICE MY RECEIPT OF PAYMENT. HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/1RRTBJHVTPIPNH3LZTHGBUIWJ-AUX190O/VIEW?USP=DRIVESDK I AM ASKING THAT GM REIMBURSE ME THE COST OF 210.24 DOLLARS FOR THE TRANSMISSION CABLE REPLACEMENT. IT IS APPARENT FROM THE INSPECTION FROM THE TECHNICIAN AND MY OWN INSPECTION THAT THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE CLIP NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN 2012 DURING THEIR INSPECTION, BUT REGARDLESS IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE GM DESIGN/PART AND SHOULD BE COVERED. I ASSURE YOU I AM NOT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR FREE HERE, I JUST WANT BUSINESSES TO BACK THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THEM, WHICH I HOPE YOU WILL DO. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR TIME IN THIS MANNER AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT EXITED AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL. WEBB CHEVROLET PLAINFIELD (16140 S LINCOLN HWY, PLAINFIELD, IL 60586) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE & DRIVING CAR AND MAKING TURNS ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING STICKS AND MAKES IT HARD TO TURN - SOMETIMES HAVING TO USE BOTH HANDS TO CONTROL THE TURN. THE STICKING IS NOT NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

FUEL LEAK FROM FUEL LINES NEAR DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. LEAKS WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED, BUT STOPS AFTER A FEW HOURS OF BEING SHUT OFF.

FUEL LEAK IN LINES - LINES RUST THROUGH - LINES LOCATED BETWEEN REAR WHEEL AND DRIVERS SEAT. I SEE MANY OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A FUEL LEAK WHICH CAN LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. MANY STAINS LEFT ON THE DRIVEWAY AND IN THE GARAGE. DEALER WANTS $1200 TO REPAIR. THIS IS ONLY A 10 YEAR OLD CAR. I HAVE MANY CARS WHERE THE FUEL LINES HAVE NOT RUSTED. NO COLLISION DAMAGE. THIS APPEARED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR CAUSE

FUEL LEAK ON FUEL LINES FROM TANK TO ENGINE

MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING A CAR WITH A FUEL LEAK THAT IS HAS A RECALL IN SOME STATES FOR THE PROBLEM BUT NOT IN MINE. RECALL # 090226 , HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, PLEASE HELP! I THINK I HAVE TO WORK AS HARD FOR MY MONEY AS OTHER STATES, AND I AM CERTAIN MY CAR COST AS MUCH TO PURCHASE AS IN OTHER STATES. HER CAR HAS FUEL DRIPPING BETWEEN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND LEFT REAR WHEEL. APPEARS TO BE STARTING AROUND TOP OF TANK LOCATION.

THE KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF - IT IS STUCK IN EITHER THE "ACCESSORY" OR "ON" POSITION. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BUT CANNOT BE MOVED TO BE FIXED.

MY SON AND I WENT TO A LOCAL FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TO PICK UP DINNER, WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED THE NEXT DAY IT SEEMS TO BE FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,458.

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT STAY ON ALL THE TIME EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE IT MAY GO OFF BUT IT COMES BACK ON

FUEL LINE RUPTURE CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK. MECHANIC STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. COST FOR REPAIR $455.53 PLUS CAR RENTAL $ 64.97

THE CAR HAS A GAS LEAK IN THE LINE. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY COBALT THAT HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL LINE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR OF THIS AGE

THE FUEL LINES THAT ARE WRAPPED IN THE HEAT PROTECTIVE TAPE ON THE DRIVER REAR SIDE JUST AS THEY TURN UP TO GO TO THE FUEL TANK ARE RUSTED OUT BECAUSE THE HEAT SHIELD PROTECTOR HOLDS WATER ON THE FUEL LINES AND NOW MINE ARE RUSTED OUT AND LEAKING FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND BY MY EXHAUST. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED WITH MANY CHEVY PRODUCTS. NOW IT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT $600 TO REPLACE THE LINES. CHEVY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY WITH THIS DEFECT AND COSTING PEOPLE MONEY AND PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER BY HAVING A LEAK PRONE LINE RIGHT BY THE HOT EXHAUST. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS. I HAD AT LEAST A GALLON SPRAY OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IT CONTINUED TO LEAK WHEN PARKED.

THE STEERING LOST POWER ASSISTANCE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN THE CITY. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AND AFFECTS STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS

FUEL LEAK NEAR DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE FROM ALUMINUM COVERED LINE. LEAKS WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. FUEL ACCUMULATES UNDER CAR ON TUBING AND DRIPS ON THE GROUND.. WHEN SHUT OFF ONLY ABOUT 1/4 COP IS LOST MASKING THE PROBLEM.

A MAJOR FUEL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED ON THE CAR DURING REFUELING. THE CAR WAS LOANED TO A FAMILY MEMBER, JOHN WILFONG, WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE FUEL SUPPLY LINE HAD MULTIPLE LEAKS DUE TO RUST/CORROSION THROUGH THE LINE. THIS MAY HAVE LED TO A FIRE AND POTENTIALLY LOSS OF LIFE TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THE CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND WASHED ON A MONTHLY BASIS WITH AN UNDERBODY SPRAY. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY 8 YEARS OLD, RUST LEADING TO A FUEL LEAK IN THIS TIME FRAME IS UNACCEPTABLE. MANUFACTURERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS HAZARD, I FIXED THE PROBLEM BY PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. DON MOORE GM CENTER (270-215-1953, 3232 VILLA POINT, OWENSBORO, KY 42303) CONFIRMED THAT NO RECALLS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS HIT HEAD ON I HAVE PICTURES OF THE AIRBAG AND MY HEAD IMPACTING TOP WINDSHIELD INSURANCE SETTLE NET ME 3750. LUMBAR 4,5 BROKEN THUMB SEVERED FROM RIGHT HAND IN UNCONSCIOUS ATTEMPT TO HOLD MY SELF IN SEAT OBVIOUSLY THAT THUMB GAVE WAY BUT DID MORE THAN THE AIRBAG WHICH DID NOT EVEN CLEAR THE STEERING WHEEL ALL MY RIBS WERE BROKEN ONSTAR ALREADY NOTIFIED MY ATTY ISN'T VERY SMART ON THIS I HOPE THE AGENCY HAS SOME WAY TO AVOID PUBLICITY TO HURT ANY GM BUT I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE TIME LOST APPROX 1 YEARS AT MY AVERAGE EARNINGS AND FUTURE ABILITY FOR REHABILITATION OR MINOR SURGERY

CAR IS LEAKING GAS. I NOTICED A FAINT GAS SMELL THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND NOW YOU CAN SMELL IT EVEN IN MY HOUSE. IT'S THAT BAD. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE HAD HEADACHES THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND I BELIEVE IT IS FROM THIS GAS LEAK. THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AND I PRAY THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I STAY SAFE WHILE I WORK TO GET THIS REPAIRED. GAS LEAKING IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE WEB HAS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE COBALTS HAVING GAS LEAK. I BELIEVE THIS IS A STANDARD PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD.

WHILE DRIVING, ANYTIME THAT NEED TO ACCELERATE, CAR WILL TAKE OFF AT MAX ACCELERATION AND DOES NOT RESPONDS TO FULL BRAKING, GEAR DOWN SHIFTING, NEUTRAL ENGAGEMENT, IT GETS FULLY OUT CONTROL, LIKE IF THROTLE STAYS IN HIGH, OR FULL ACCELERATION, EVEN WITHOUT PEDAL RESPONSE , IT IS THE MOST SCARING EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD.

RUSTED THROUGH AND LEAKING FUEL SUPPLY AND VAPOR LINES. NOTICED GASOLINE SMELL WHILE DRIVING AND PUDDLE UNDER CAR WHEN PARKED IN HOSPITAL PARKING LOT WHERE I WORK. GM IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS RUST PROBLEM AS THEY COATED THE BRAKE LINES TO PREVENT CORROSION. THIS VIN# IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THE 2009 COBALT AND AS A RESULT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASE WANTED OVER $800 TO REPAIR. PICTURE ATTACHED AND STILL HAVE MOST OF THE RUSTED LINES IF YOU WANT THEM.

CHEVY COBALT IS LEAKING BAD IN REAR DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF MY TIRE. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE IN MANY COBALT. CHEVY DID A RECALL BUT FOR SOUTHERN STATE. THEY NEED TO ADD IT FOR ALL THE CARS. OTHER NORTHERN STATE HAVE HAD EXTREME HEAT TOO. SMELL LIKE GAS IN CAR. WHEN STOP DRIVING SEES IT LEAKING.

TAKATA RECALL GOT INTO MY 2009 COBALT AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, IT DIDN'T START. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, IT CHUGGED A BIT BEFORE IT STARTED AND INSTANTLY HAD A STRONG GAS SMELL. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF THE BACK WHEEL AND THERE WAS A GAS PUDDLE ABOUT 8" IN DIAMETER AND GAS WAS STILL LEAKING FROM A RUPTURE IN THE GAS LINE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY COBALT WITH NO EXISTING RECALLS.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHUTDOWN. I PULLED OVER AND SMELT GAS. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND I NOTICED THE FUEL LINES LEAKING GAS ONTO THE EXHAUST. AFTER LOOKING THE CLOSELY THE FUEL SENDING LINE HAS A HOLE INSIDE THE CLIP, BEHIND THE GAS TANK, HOLDING THE BRAKE LINES.

ECM PROBLEM. LOST STEERING AND ALL DASHBOARD INFORMATION. VECHILE DOES NOT START.DEALER TELLS ME IT IS A BAD ECM AND IT IS $841.00 TO REPAIR IT.

I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE INDICATOR OFTEN INDICATED THAT NO ONE WAS SITTING THERE. THEN AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS OCCURRING, THE LIGHT AIRBAG REMAINED ON AT ALL TIMES AND THE INDICATOR STATED THAT NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS.

AFTER FINDING HER CAR HARD TO START IN THE MORNING ACCOMPANIED BY THE SMELL OF GASOLINE (THE LONGER IT SITS, THE WORSE THE SMELL) MY DAUGHTER TOOK HER CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE. HE FOUND GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE TANK. HE ADVISED HER TO TAKE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A PREVIOUS ISSUE ON THE COBALT FOR A FUEL PUMP MODULE (SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN 12V459000). THEY PULLED THE TANK DOWN AND FOUND THE FUEL LINES RUSTED THROUGH ALLOWING THE FUEL TO COME OUT IN AN ENCLOSED, INACCESSIBLE AREA. THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK BECAUSE OF THE CHANCE OF A SPARK FROM THE PUMP CONTACTING THESE FUEL VAPORS. IT IS ALSO A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR (OVER $1000 CHARGED) THAT WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO DELAY IN HAVING IT FIXED.

MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT HE IS ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO DROP THE FUEL TANK TO FIX THIS. I SEE THAT OTHER STATES HAVE THIS AS A RECALL AND AM WONDERING WHY OHIO ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT SEEMS LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO SINCE IT IS THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS THE RECALL IN OTHER STATES AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY A RELATED ISSUE!

NEXT IT WAS TAKEN BACK FOR SUSPENSION PROBLEMS AND A CRACKED STEERING COLUMN, NOW I KEPT HEARING A NOISE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO SPEED UP TOOK IT TO TWO PLACES AND IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH COST ME $1,548 OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THE WARRANTY I HAD DIDN'T COVER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THIS CAR ONLY HAS 89414 MILES ON IT I KEEP UP THE MAINTENANCE BUT THIS CAR IS BEGINNING TO MAKE ME NOT WANT TO BUY ANY AMERICAN CAR EVER. I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS ECONOMY CAR,GOOD ON GAS WHICH IS STILL GOOD ON GAS.

I'M EMAILING YOU IN REGARDS TO PROBLEMS I HAD WITH MY CAR.. ALL THIS WAS REPAIRED AND I CALLED BACK AND FORTH TO THE MANUFACTURE AND WAS TREATED LIKE I WAS STUPID.. IT WAS A BAD TIME IN MY LIFE AND THE CAR SITUATION DIDN'T HELP.. NOW I'M READING THIS ON LINE, BECAUSE MY FUEL LINE IS LEAKING.. SEEN THIS RECALL, BUT WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON IT AND THAT TIME.. MY CAR WAS AT DEALERSHIPS ON AND OFF FOR OVER A MONTH.. THEN I HAD TO PAY... . I LISTED THE VIN#.

POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF ALONG WITH THE SECURITY LOCK/CAR LIGHT. I LOSE ALL POWER TO THE CAR THEN ALL OF THE PANEL GOES HAYWIRE...FLASHING NO FUEL NO POWER STEERING...ALL THE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY..

THE MORNING AFTER COMING BACK FROM A TRIP I WENT DOWN TO GET IN MY COLBALT AND FOUND MY LEFT FRONT TIRE FLAT. I GOT MY MANUAL OUT TO READ HOW TO CHANGE THE TIRE AND CHANGED IT. WE NOTICED THE SIZE DIFFERENCE IN THE TIRES RIGHT AWAY, REGULAR TIRE IS P205/55R16 H, THE SPARE IS A T115/70D15 M. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CHEVROLET PUT ON THE CAR. THE MANUAL SAID WE COULD GO NORMAL SPEED. I DROVE A BLOCK TO GET THE TIRE FIXED AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME. THE CAR DIPPED HORRIBLE AND DRAGGED WHEN I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY. IT ALSO MADE RUBBING SOUNDS. IT DID NOT FILL SAFE TO DRIVE. WE TOOK THE TIRE IN AND HAD IT FIXED WITHOUT THE CAR, BROUGHT IT HOME AND PUT IT BACK ON CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET SINCE THEN TO SEE IF IT WAS AN ERROR ON THE SPARE. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS THE RIGHT SPARE, ALTHOUGH A COUPLE OF THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE TALKED TO THOUGHT IT WAS BAD TO HAVE A 15 INCH SPARE WITH 16 INCH TIRES. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHAT I NEED TO DO IS IF THE FLAT IS ON THE FRONT I'M SUPPOSE TO CHANGE TWO TIRES. THEY TOLD ME TO PUT A BACK TIRE ON THE FRONT AND THE SPARE ON THE BACK, WHICH IS NOT THE DIRECTION IN THE MANUAL. THEY TOLD ME I CAN GO 50 MPH AND GET THE TIRE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO NOW OUT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THEY WANT ME TO CHANGE TWO TIRES AND HAVE THE BACK OF MY CAR DIP HORRIBLY. I FEEL THIS SPARE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT IS SMALLER THEN THE TIRES IT IS REPLACING. IT MAKES THE CAR TILT SO YOU CAN'T DRIVE AT SAFE SPEEDS NOT TO SAY THE DAMAGE YOU CAN DO TO YOUR CAR. I LEAVE IN A RURAL AREA AND SOME OF THE ROADS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SHOULDER TO CHANGE ONE SPARE LET ALONE TWO.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING DOORS STARTED UNLOCKING AND LOCKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE(VERY SCARY). W/65,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAVING TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL REPAIR PLACES(ONE OF WHICH DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO MAKE THE CHANGE OIL SOON LIGHT GO AWAY AFTER AN OIL CHANGE), I AM NOW QUESTIONNING THE INTEGRITY OF THE REPAIR GUYS.

EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE GAS ODOR COMING FROM CAR WHEN ENGINE RUNNING, EVEN AT IDLE. PREVIOUS RECALLS DO NOT LIST GEORGIA AS STATE FOR REGISTERED/PURCHASED VEHICLES COVERED BY RECALL. GAS LEAK EXISTS IN FUEL SYSTEM SOMEWHERE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER POSTINGS STATING THE SAME FOR THE SAME 2009 CHEVY COBALT LS SEDAN MODEL. HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT CAR FIRE OR EXPLOSION MIGHT OCCUR. WAS GOING TO TAKE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC.

WHILE TEEN DRIVER WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THERE WAS A NEAR-MISS ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER (AUTONATION GMC CHEVROLET, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX) TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THE POWER STEERING, THEY STATED THAT YES, BUT I HAD ALREADY HAD IT DONE. I HAD NOT RECALLED THAT SERVICE, BUT TURNS OUT I DID TAKE THE CAR IN THREE YEARS AGO FOR A RECALL THAT I DID NOT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO INVOLVING A STEERING PART (TURNS OUT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING MOTOR; THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BACK THEN). I EXPLAINED TO THE FEMALE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I THOUGHT WE HAD ANOTHER BAD POWER STEERING MOTOR AND THAT THIS WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, THERE WAS NEARLY AN ACCIDENT AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPORT IT TO THE NHTSA. SHE STATED THAT WAS FINE, BUT I WAS NOT GOING TO GET ANOTHER FREE POWER STEERING MOTOR! I WAS SPEECHLESS; I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT GM REPRESENTATIVE ONLY CARED ABOUT A $150 PART - OR THOUGHT THAT I ONLY CARED ABOUT A $150 PART, AND NOT THE POTENTIAL IMPACT ON HUMAN LIFE. I REPLACED THE PART MYSELF WITH ANOTHER OEM POWER STEERING MOTOR AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT THE ORIGINAL STEERING MOTOR RECALL WAS NOT EFFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY IF THE SAME OEM MOTOR WAS USED. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO GM THAT ANOTHER RECALL BE ISSUED WITH IMPROVED PARTS.

WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE LEFT FRONT WENT OUT IN FEB, 2012 THEN IN JULY, 2015 THE RIGHT ONE WENT OUT. IN ALL OF OUR OTHER CARS WE HAVE OWNED WE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING LET ALONE TWO SO WE ASSUME THERE MUST BE A DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE.

NOTICED FRONT END SHAKING. WORST AT SPEEDS 40-50 MPH BUT NOTICEABLE AT ALL SPEEDS. MECHANIC TOLD ME METAL BAND INSIDE THE TIRE IS BROKEN AND TIRE TREAD IS DAMAGED DUE TO IT. MECHANIC WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE UNTIL TIRE IS REPLACED, AND SAID HE WAS SURPRISED IT HAD NOT BLOWN ALREADY.

GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. GAS DRIPPING ON DRIVER SIDE UNDER REAR DOOR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL COBALT'S NOT JUST IN CERTAIN STATES.

RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH 2015 FROM GENERAL MOTORS ADVISING THAT THE CLOCK SPRING COIL WIRES TO THE DRIVER AIR BAG MAY BECOME CHAFFED ON A SHARP EDGE OF THE STEERING WHEEL HORN PLATE AND THAT IF THIS DEFECT IS NOT CORRECTED AND THE CHAFED WIRE WAS TO GROUND TO THE HORN PLATE THE DRIVER AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE LETTER GOES ON TO ADVISE THAT IF I BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLE HAS THE CONDITION DESCRIBED ABOVE IS PRESENT THE CONDITION WILL BE REPAIRED FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. I CALLED TWO DEALERS AND TOLD THEM THAT I BELIEVE THAT THE CONDITION IS PRESENT IN MY VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT UNLESS THE AIR BAG INSTRUMENT INDICATOR LAMP CONTINUOUSLY DISPLAYS A WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAG THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. MY SON, OF THAI DESCENT WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND MUCH ENGLISH HAS ADVISED ME THAT HE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE LETTER STATES THAT IF THE LIGHT IS INTERMITTENT THAT IS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THIS CONDITION MAY BE PRESENT. SINCE GM IS NOT WILLING TO CONSIDER MY VEHICLE FOR REPAIR SINCE THE LIGHT IS NOT CONTINUOUSLY LIT I CONSIDER THIS LETTER A SAFETY WARNING AND WANT TO GO ON RECORD THAT I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS SUBJECT OF MY COMPLAINT. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THIS LETTER ON THE PART OF GM WILL BE USED TO DEFEAT ANY CLAIM I AM HAVE IF THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. WHAT AM I TO DO, WAIT UNTIL MY SON HAS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG DOES NOT DEPLOY OR ARE YOU WILING TO ASSIST ME IN GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED.

STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS PLAY IN IT . SOMETHING LOOSE IN STEERING ASSEMBLY DID THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

RECENTLY SMELLED A GAS ODOR. STARTED LOOKING UNDER CAR AND FOUND A LEAK IN THE FUEL LINE. THE LEAK IS RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE REAR SIDE OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE FUEL LINES RUN THROUGH A PLASTIC CLIP THAT ATTACHES THE LINES TO THE CHASSIS OF THE CAR. THE RECALL THAT PREVIOUSLY CAME OUT WAS FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NOT THE LINE ITSELF. THE LEAK IN THE FUEL LINE IS RIGHT AT THIS PLASTIC CLIP WHICH IS LESS THAN AN INCH AWAY FROM A PIPE THAT GETS EXTREMELY HOT WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE ISSUE THAT SOME HAD POSTED A PICTURE OF IT AND IT IS THE EXACT SAME SPOT AS ON MY VEHICLE. HERE IS A LINK TO ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT SHOWS THE PICTURE: HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T33495_DS573685 I JUST FEEL LIKE A FUEL LEAK THAT IS ABOUT A HALF INCH AWAY FROM A STEAMING HOT PIPE ON NUMEROUS VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL/MAKE/YEAR IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. LAST THING I NEED IS MY CAR CATCHING ON FIRE WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I INSIDE OF IT.

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SMELL OF GAS AND LEAKING FUEL, DISCOVERED A CRACKED FUEL PUMP AND MECHANIC SAID THERE WERE 2 OTHER CHEVY COBALTS ON THE LOT WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. CHECKED WITH RECALLS AND IN 2012 THERE WAS A RECALL FOR CRACKED FUEL PUMPS HOWEVER MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY. THE RECALL WAS A VERY LARGE ONE AND MY CAR DID NOT MAKE THE LIST. I FEEL IF THE RECALL WAS AS LARGE AS IT WAS, THE ISSUE COULD'VE BEEN BIGGER THAN CHEVY WAS WILLING TO ADMIT AT THE TIME. WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED AGAIN.
