2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

MY DAUGHTER'S 2007 COBALT SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM SCHOOL. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC AND PARK ON THE SHOULDER. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR, IT SEEMS AS IF THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DEAD. THE CAR WILL NOT START, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED.

FUEL LINE CORRODED AND LEAKING FROM HEAT SHIELD COVERING IN FRONT OF REAR AXLE. CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS AND DRIPS ON GROUND. HAVE HAD FELLOW MOTORISTS STOP AND SAY THEY SMELL GAS WHEN DRIVING BEHIND CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT LEAKED FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC CONNECTION OVER THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE CAUSED A FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND REFERRED HIM TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN CUT OFF, I COULDN'T ACCELERATE THE STREARING WHEEL GOT STIFF AND IT JUST SO HAPPEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND NOT CRASH MY CAR OR EVEN HURT MYSELF..

MY FUEL LINE BEGAN LEAKING PROFUSELY. I AM LOSING QUITE A BIT OF GASOLINE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CATCH FIRE AND KILL ME. I SEE THAT CERTAIN 2007 COBALTS WERE RECALLED OVER THIS ISSUE AND AM WONDERING WHY MINE WASN'T. THE LEAK OCCURS CONTINUOUSLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, WHETHER I AM STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

MY COBALT IS NOT LISTED IN THE FUEL PUMP-FUEL LINE RECALLS THAT NUMEROUS OTHERS ARE LISTED IN, YET, I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! ALSO, THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTING THROUGH AT THE METAL CLAMP SITES AND LEAKING GAS TOO! I BELIEVE THIS RECALL NEEDS EXTENDED TO COVER ALL VEHICLES DEVELOPING THIS PROBLEM!

GAS SMELL IS AWFUL AN GAS LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE TANK! NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP! MANY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM
