2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

ON 10/20/2017 I NOTICED A SMELL OF GAS AROUND MY CAR. ON SUNDAY WE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED THE TOP PART OF THE TANK IS WET.

2007 CHEVY COBALT LEAKING GASOLINE ON DRIVERS SIDE UNDER REAR TIRE. GAS LEAK VERY BAD. CHEVY SAID THEIR WAS NO RECALL BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA WAS ADVISED. I AM GOING TO TRY TO GET CHEVY TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR.

STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE AND AROUND IT. HESITATION IN STARTING VEHICLE. TOOK TO HAVE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD OUR FUEL PUMP HAS A BAD LEAK. DID RESEARCH ON LINE TO FIND OUT OTHER VIN 2007 CHEV. COLBALTS ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND MOST WERE COVERED BY A RECALL. HOWEVER, OUR IS NOT! OUR DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR 2 HRS A DAY AND IT IS SUCH A FIRE HAZARD. HOW IS THIS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I'M SURE YOU AGREE. THE RISK OF FIRE FROM THE GAS LEAK AND THE LARGE AMOUNT OF CHEV COBALTS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE MAKES NO SENSE YOU WOULDN'T COVER THE REPAIRS. PLEASE TELL US THE WAY TO GET THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR TAKEN CARE OF. WE INSIST YOU COVER THE DEFECT! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND PRAYERS NO ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH THIS DEFECT BEING SUCH A PROBLEM FOR GM.
