2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT LIGHT STAY ON ALL THE TIME EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE IT MAY GO OFF BUT IT COMES BACK ON

FUEL LINE RUPTURE CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK. MECHANIC STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. COST FOR REPAIR $455.53 PLUS CAR RENTAL $ 64.97

THE CAR HAS A GAS LEAK IN THE LINE. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY COBALT THAT HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL LINE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR OF THIS AGE

THE FUEL LINES THAT ARE WRAPPED IN THE HEAT PROTECTIVE TAPE ON THE DRIVER REAR SIDE JUST AS THEY TURN UP TO GO TO THE FUEL TANK ARE RUSTED OUT BECAUSE THE HEAT SHIELD PROTECTOR HOLDS WATER ON THE FUEL LINES AND NOW MINE ARE RUSTED OUT AND LEAKING FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND BY MY EXHAUST. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED WITH MANY CHEVY PRODUCTS. NOW IT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT $600 TO REPLACE THE LINES. CHEVY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY WITH THIS DEFECT AND COSTING PEOPLE MONEY AND PUTTING LIVES IN DANGER BY HAVING A LEAK PRONE LINE RIGHT BY THE HOT EXHAUST. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS. I HAD AT LEAST A GALLON SPRAY OUT WHILE DRIVING AND IT CONTINUED TO LEAK WHEN PARKED.

THE STEERING LOST POWER ASSISTANCE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN THE CITY. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AND AFFECTS STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS

FUEL LEAK NEAR DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE FROM ALUMINUM COVERED LINE. LEAKS WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING. FUEL ACCUMULATES UNDER CAR ON TUBING AND DRIPS ON THE GROUND.. WHEN SHUT OFF ONLY ABOUT 1/4 COP IS LOST MASKING THE PROBLEM.

A MAJOR FUEL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED ON THE CAR DURING REFUELING. THE CAR WAS LOANED TO A FAMILY MEMBER, JOHN WILFONG, WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE FUEL SUPPLY LINE HAD MULTIPLE LEAKS DUE TO RUST/CORROSION THROUGH THE LINE. THIS MAY HAVE LED TO A FIRE AND POTENTIALLY LOSS OF LIFE TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THE CAR HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND WASHED ON A MONTHLY BASIS WITH AN UNDERBODY SPRAY. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY 8 YEARS OLD, RUST LEADING TO A FUEL LEAK IN THIS TIME FRAME IS UNACCEPTABLE. MANUFACTURERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS HAZARD, I FIXED THE PROBLEM BY PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S GRANDDAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. DON MOORE GM CENTER (270-215-1953, 3232 VILLA POINT, OWENSBORO, KY 42303) CONFIRMED THAT NO RECALLS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS HIT HEAD ON I HAVE PICTURES OF THE AIRBAG AND MY HEAD IMPACTING TOP WINDSHIELD INSURANCE SETTLE NET ME 3750. LUMBAR 4,5 BROKEN THUMB SEVERED FROM RIGHT HAND IN UNCONSCIOUS ATTEMPT TO HOLD MY SELF IN SEAT OBVIOUSLY THAT THUMB GAVE WAY BUT DID MORE THAN THE AIRBAG WHICH DID NOT EVEN CLEAR THE STEERING WHEEL ALL MY RIBS WERE BROKEN ONSTAR ALREADY NOTIFIED MY ATTY ISN'T VERY SMART ON THIS I HOPE THE AGENCY HAS SOME WAY TO AVOID PUBLICITY TO HURT ANY GM BUT I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE TIME LOST APPROX 1 YEARS AT MY AVERAGE EARNINGS AND FUTURE ABILITY FOR REHABILITATION OR MINOR SURGERY

CAR IS LEAKING GAS. I NOTICED A FAINT GAS SMELL THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND NOW YOU CAN SMELL IT EVEN IN MY HOUSE. IT'S THAT BAD. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL. MY DAUGHTER AND I HAVE HAD HEADACHES THE LAST FEW WEEKS AND I BELIEVE IT IS FROM THIS GAS LEAK. THIS IS MY ONLY WAY TO WORK AND I PRAY THAT MY DAUGHTER AND I STAY SAFE WHILE I WORK TO GET THIS REPAIRED. GAS LEAKING IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE WEB HAS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THESE COBALTS HAVING GAS LEAK. I BELIEVE THIS IS A STANDARD PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD.
