2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR PARKED. WENT IN THE HOUSE FOR HALF HOUR CAME BACK TO THE CAR TO GO OUT STARTED THE CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL IT SO HAD TO TURN SO I TURNED IT OFF. WENT UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE WHERE THE POWER STEERING FLUID WENT COULDN'T FIND IT. WHAT WRONG WITH MY CAR.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY. WHILE LIT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT FUNCTION. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY A CHEVROLET DEALER AT LEAST TWICE (12/2010 AND 2/2011). BOTH OF THOSE TIMES THE ERROR CODE WAS B0020. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC ON 8/2015 AND CODES B1370, B0081, AND B0020 SHOWED. THE PROBLEM WAS ALWAYS FIXED, TEMPORARILY, BY APPLYING CONNECTOR GREASE TO THE WIRE CONNECTIONS. ON 9/2017, THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEATBELT RETRACTOR. THIS ALSO FIXED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. BY PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BY THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 65F THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND RENDERS THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS USELESS! I HAVE YET TO FIND ANY PERMANENT FIX FOR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS ONLINE. IT SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT A VITAL PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS MALFUNCTIONING YET THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER WILL NOT TAKE ANY STEPS TO FIX IT.

THERE IS AN OBSERVED LEAK ON DRIVER SIDE, IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRE. SMELL OF GAS IS PROMINENT WHEN PARKED. GAS IS DRIPPING FROM FUEL LINES ATTACHED TO FRAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT SMELLED THE ODOR OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CONSUMING MORE FUEL THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

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.

IGNITION CONTROL MODULE OR CAM SHAFT SENSORS! CAR JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING BACK UP.

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.

LEAKING FUEL AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND IS A COMMON ISSUE.

FUEL IS LEAKING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND MAY HAVE A BAD EVAP CANNISTER VALVE ACCORDING TO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING PROBLEMS THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ON AND SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON YOUTUBE THAT A YOUNG MAN DIED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP ON HIM A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AS WELL I'M VERY CONCERNED I DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR I HAVE TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP NOW TO REPLACE HIS CAR AND PAY MONEY THAT I DO NOT HAVE KNOWING THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL I SEEN IT ON YOUTUBE AND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART.
