2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

THERE IS A GAS LEAK, ITS FROM THE PLASTIC FITTINGS CONNECTING LINES AND TANK. *TR

THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND SHUTDOWN WHILE TRAVERSING RT 287 NEAR BOONTON AT SPEEDS AROUND 65. I COASTED OFF AN EXIT AND CAME TO A STOP AT PARK AVE AND WOOTTON ST. WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN SO I COULD EITHER FIX/CONTINUE DRIVING, IT HAD BECOME APPARENT THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAD STARTED TO COMBUST. NOTICEABLE BY THE SOUND OF THE FIRE. THAT LEFT ME RUSHING TO EMPTY OUT THE VEHICLE OF BELONGINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY ENGULFED INTO FLAMES. NOTE THAT PRIOR TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING LIGHTS NOR INDICATORS HAD TURNED ON. WHEN VEHICLE OVERHEATED THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THAT WAS ALL UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY ON FIRE AND HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF. *TR

STARTED LAST WEEK. AFTER PARKING THE CAR, NOTICED A SMELL AND UPON CHECKING, NOTICED A POOL OF GAS UNDER THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AREA (UNDER PASSENGER SEAT). IT LEAKS FOR 10 MINUTES AND STOPS. LEAK STARTS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. *TR

CAR SMELLING LIKE GAS REALLY BAD AND LEAKS, STEERING WHEEL FEELS WOBBOLY LIKE IF ITS NOT TIGHTENED RIGHT ITS A LITTLE CRICKED. REEKS OF SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE BACK RIGHT OF MY CAR BY THE TIRE AND I SEE IT LEAKING GASOLINE.

FUEL LEAKING IN FRONT OF REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. FUEL ORDER CAN BE SMELLED GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR AS WELL. BIG PUDDLES OF FUEL ONCE THE CAR IS PARKED. MY FUEL GAUGE GOES DOWN PRETTY RAPIDLY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE (OBVIOUSLY).

I BOUGHT A USED 2009 CHEVY COBALT 2 YEARS AGO IN 2017 WITH 119K MILES. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE WITH THINGS GOING WRONG! 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.
