2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

FUEL LINE LEAK DUE TO ABRASION BY BODY CLIP. LEAK LOCATED FORWARD OF LEFT REAR WHEEL WHERE FUEL LINE IS INSULATED FROM EXHAUST

MY VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN PARK, IT WOULDN'T START AND WOULD STILL ROLL WHEN IN PARK. WE HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CABLE CLIP OR INSTALLED IMPROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT A RECALL AND SAID IT WAS CLOSED DUE TO A DEALERS INSPECTION IN 2012. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT IN TO GET FIXED AND IT APPEARS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RECALLED PART. GM STILL REFUSES TO COVER IT. I AM ENCLOSING BELOW MY EMAIL TO GM BELOW WITH ATTACHMENTS AND LINKS. ANY HELP WITH THIS IS APPRECIATED [XXX] TO:[email protected] CC:[XXX] MAR 16 AT 10:54 AM THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN ON MARCH 14TH TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND OFFER THE INVOICE OF WHAT THEY FOUND AND FIXED FOR YOUR REVIEW. THEY SAID THE CLIP WAS FULLY ENGAGED BUT THE CABLE WAS STILL SLIPPING. I ASKED THAT THEY GIVE ME THE OLD PART BACK FOR MY INSPECTION. I ALSO OFFER A VIDEO OF MY REVIEW OF THE CABLE, PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW. THE THIRD ATTACHMENT IS THE 1ST PAGE OF THE INVOICE MY RECEIPT OF PAYMENT. HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/1RRTBJHVTPIPNH3LZTHGBUIWJ-AUX190O/VIEW?USP=DRIVESDK I AM ASKING THAT GM REIMBURSE ME THE COST OF 210.24 DOLLARS FOR THE TRANSMISSION CABLE REPLACEMENT. IT IS APPARENT FROM THE INSPECTION FROM THE TECHNICIAN AND MY OWN INSPECTION THAT THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE CLIP NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN 2012 DURING THEIR INSPECTION, BUT REGARDLESS IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE GM DESIGN/PART AND SHOULD BE COVERED. I ASSURE YOU I AM NOT TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR FREE HERE, I JUST WANT BUSINESSES TO BACK THEIR PRODUCTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THEM, WHICH I HOPE YOU WILL DO. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR TIME IN THIS MANNER AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REPLY. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT EXITED AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL. WEBB CHEVROLET PLAINFIELD (16140 S LINCOLN HWY, PLAINFIELD, IL 60586) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE & DRIVING CAR AND MAKING TURNS ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING STICKS AND MAKES IT HARD TO TURN - SOMETIMES HAVING TO USE BOTH HANDS TO CONTROL THE TURN. THE STICKING IS NOT NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

FUEL LEAK FROM FUEL LINES NEAR DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. LEAKS WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED, BUT STOPS AFTER A FEW HOURS OF BEING SHUT OFF.

FUEL LEAK IN LINES - LINES RUST THROUGH - LINES LOCATED BETWEEN REAR WHEEL AND DRIVERS SEAT. I SEE MANY OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A FUEL LEAK WHICH CAN LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. MANY STAINS LEFT ON THE DRIVEWAY AND IN THE GARAGE. DEALER WANTS $1200 TO REPAIR. THIS IS ONLY A 10 YEAR OLD CAR. I HAVE MANY CARS WHERE THE FUEL LINES HAVE NOT RUSTED. NO COLLISION DAMAGE. THIS APPEARED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR CAUSE

MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING A CAR WITH A FUEL LEAK THAT IS HAS A RECALL IN SOME STATES FOR THE PROBLEM BUT NOT IN MINE. RECALL # 090226 , HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, PLEASE HELP! I THINK I HAVE TO WORK AS HARD FOR MY MONEY AS OTHER STATES, AND I AM CERTAIN MY CAR COST AS MUCH TO PURCHASE AS IN OTHER STATES. HER CAR HAS FUEL DRIPPING BETWEEN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND LEFT REAR WHEEL. APPEARS TO BE STARTING AROUND TOP OF TANK LOCATION.

THE KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF - IT IS STUCK IN EITHER THE "ACCESSORY" OR "ON" POSITION. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BUT CANNOT BE MOVED TO BE FIXED.

MY SON AND I WENT TO A LOCAL FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TO PICK UP DINNER, WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED THE NEXT DAY IT SEEMS TO BE FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,458.
