2010 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

WITH CAR RUNNING (PARKED) FUEL IS LEAKING HEAVILY FROM REAR OF VEHICLE DRIVERS SIDE. FUEL LEAK APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM FUEL LINES/GAS TANK AREA.

I PUT MY CHEVY COBALT 2010 INTO REVERSE AND THEN INTO DRIVE. WITH DOING SO MY POWER STEERING SHOWED UP IN THE DISPLAY. I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK THEN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO PUT INTO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW AND THE STEERING IS VERY HARD EVERY TIME IT DOES THIS.

MY POWER STEERING NOTICE CAME ON AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL 14115 FOR EPS ON 2010 COBALTS. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND CALLED GENERAL MOTORS. THEY DID NOT HONOR THE RECALL TO REPLACE MY EPS MOTOR. THEY SAID MY VIN SHOWS IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WHY IS MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR NOT UNDER THIS RECALL? IT FAILED. I WAS PARKED WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. WHY IS MY CAR EXCLUDED? GM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED CONCERNING THIS MATTER!

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. LUCKILY, I WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,332.

I NOTICED A GAS LEAK UNDER MY REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND CAN SMELL GAS OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING WHERE THEY CONNECT TO THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THEY HAVE SEEN MANY COBALTS COME IN WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT'S COVERED UNDER RECALL. I CHECKED WITH GM, MY VIN HAS NO RECALL FOR THAT ISSUE. THERE IS NO RUST UNDER THE CAR SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE.

DOOR HANDLES BROKE AND DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. I WILL SAVE THE HANDLE FOR EVIDENCE IF YOU NEED THEM

THE FUEL LINES RUSTED OUT IN 3 PLACES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED FROM ENGINE TO GAS TANK. IT WAS SPRAYING GAS IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND UNDER CAR WHILE DRIVING

GAS LEAK IN FRONT OF DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE DUE TO CORRODED LINES. VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST

MY COBALT ILLUMINATES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL AS THE THEFT LIGHT AND DISPLAYS ENGINE POWER REDUCED HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES FIRST TIME IT STARTED WAS IN 12/2017. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2011 ALWAYS SERVICED AND REPAIRED BY DEALER SHIP. THE CAR STALLS AT STOP SIGNS LIGHTS OR WHEN YOU PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. LIGHTS DIM AND FLICKER THE GAUGES JUMP UP AND DOWN IN THE DASH. AFTER YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF THE GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER JUMP ADN MAKE TICKING NOISE. WHEN THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT PRESENT THE CAR IDLES ROUGH AND ACTS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE TILL YOU START DRIVING THEN ITS FINE. THE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES ARE WHEN YOU TO PRESS THEM THE PEDAL WILL DEPRESS ALL THE WAY BUT ITS LIKE IT DONT MEET WITH THE PAD, THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AS WELL. OBD2 CODES HAVE BEEN P0641 P0017 P0651 P0573 CURRENT CODES STORED ARE P0340 P0300 P0341. I'VE HAD THIS CAR AT THE DEALER AND MULTIPLE SHOPS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS NOW WITHOUT RESOLUTION. IT'S BECOMING MORE OF A PROBLEM THAN ANYTHING ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT DIES OR COMING UP TO A STOP LIGHT/ SIGN, A CAR PULLS OUT OR AN ANIMAL AND YOUR BRAKES FAIL TO STOP YOU! IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. THE CAR DOES HAVE HIGH MILES BUT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS TILL DECEMBER OF 2017 MILEAGE IS 203,602 ALL MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED UNDER RECOMMENDED MILEAGE.
