2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS SAYING NEEDS MAINTENANCE AND THE MOTOR HAS NO COMPRESSION

FUEL LINES BAD AND LEAKING THE DEALER STATED IT WASNT UNDER RECALL BUT DID TELL ME THAT IT SHOULD OF BEEN AS MANY AS HE HAS FIXED OVER 100 OF THEM SINCE 07 COBALTS. THE COST OVER 600.00 DOLLARS. IT WILL SIT UNTIL I WIN THE LOTTERY CHEVY SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX IT FOR FREE.I JUST PAID THE CAR OFF LAST MONTH GO FIGURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FUEL ODOR CAME THROUGH THE VENTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINE NEXT TO THE EXHAUST PIPE WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLER BROTHERS CHEVROLET (9035 BALTIMORE NATIONAL PIKE, ELLICOTT CITY, MD 21042, (410) 988-6165) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL LINE, WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO THE CHASSIS, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 240,000.

GAS WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. BOLTS AND STRAPS HOLDING FUEL TANK WERE RUSTED AND DEALER HAD TO REMOVE.

PURCHASED USED 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT LT COUPE VEHICLE SMELLS IF GASOLINE BUT VIN NUMBER NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. VISIBLE PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND THE GASOLINE DEPLETES QUICKLY. NEED REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS. GM NEEDS TO EXPAND RECALL. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. I HAVE CHILDREN AS I'M SURE MANY OF US DO, I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK THEIR LIVES BECAUSE GM HASN'T INCLUDED ENOUGH VEHICLES IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

GAS SMELL AFTER DRIVING CAR. THIS IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, BUT ONLY IN HOT CLIMATES! SO WHAT IF OUR CAR BLOWS UP IN OUR GARAGE DUE TO GAS FUMES. THE GAS FUME VOLUME IS HIGH, AND I FEEL UNSAFE.

NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM PLASTIC FUEL LINE UNDER CAR. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN TEXAS BY MY AUNT AND I UNDERSTAND MANY CARS OF THE SAME TYPE HAVE THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. WHILE I JUST NOTICED THIS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FIRE TO MY CAR AS OF NOW RELATED TO THIS I AM VERY CONCERNED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE IGNITION SWITCH WON'T TURN ON AND SOMETIMES WON'T TURN OFF ITS VERY LOOSE ONCE YOU DO GET IT ON AND NOW WON'T TURN OVER AT ALL

IF MY TANK IS QUITE FULL IT LEAKS GAS TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE, I HAVE A SMALL PUDDLE WHERE EVER IT SITS. I FIRST NOTICED A STRONG ODOR THAN COUPLE DAYS LATER A PUDDLE OF GAS IT PROBABLY DOES IT ALSO WHILE DRIVING TO.. DONT HAVE CAMERA TO TAKE PICTURES.

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 2009 CHEVY COBALT LS SEDAN AND I ONLY HAD IT SINCE MID AUGUST 2018 AND ALL WAS FINE WHEN I PURCHASED. NOW I HAVE A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FROM UNDER DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL AREA AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE AND THEN PARKED . I CALLED THE GM HOTLINE THAT I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLINE AND THEY SAID THAT ITS AN OUT OF POCKET PROBLEM AND THAT MY VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL WHICH HAS BEEN ISSUED IN SEVERAL OTHER STATES FOR FREE OF CHARGE. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED,FIXED IN ONE STATE FREE OF CHARGE BY GM AND NOT FIXED AT ALL IN ANOTHER. A FUEL PROBLEM OR A LEAK OF ANT KIND SHOULD BE A CONCERN FOR GM AND IS A MAJOR ISSUE.I'M LOCATED IN PENNSYLVANIA BUT MY VIN SAYS I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL OFFERED ELSEWHERE,SO SHOULD I HAVE TO FOOT A REPAIR BILL FOR AN ISSUE THAT GM MOST DEFINITELY KNOWS ABOUT. I'M CONFUSED, THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS BEING DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL FOR THE OTHER AREAS YET I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE THIS RECALL IS NOT IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES NOT JUST SOME OF THEM AND FREE OF CHARGE .I RELAYED INFO TO A GM REP ON 9/10 /18 IN THE EVENING AND ALL SHE COULD DO WAS APOLIGIZE AND THEN TELL ME THAT IT DEPENDED ON WHICH MANUFACTURING PLANT MADE THE VEHICLE. WHAT THAT HAS TO DO WITH IT STUMPS ME I TOLD HER THAT IS SHODDY AND SUB STANDARD WORK SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT GENERAL MOTORS EXPENSE NOT HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA $1000 OR SO SITTING AROUND TO SHELL OUT. ALL I SEEM TO BE GETTING IS THE RUN AROUND. A PROBLEM LIKE THIS SHOULD BE OF GRAVE CONCERN TO GENERAL MOTORS AND NOT GIVEN SO SOME OWNERS AND NOT OTHERS. I'M SURE IF IT WAS THEIR VEHICLE IT WOULD BE PROMPTLY RECALLED AND REPAIRED. PLEASE HELP IF POSSIBLE. THIS JUST ISN'T GOOD BUSINESS GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
