FUEL LEAKIMG FROM THE GAS LINES, LEAVING PUDDLES OF FUEL UNDERNEITH VEHICLE AND A STRONG FUEL ODOR WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND TURNED OFF. ENGINE HESITANT TO START AS WELL.

I AM EXPERIENCING A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL AND NOW IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES TO START. I AM SEEING A PUDDLE OF GAS JUST BELOW THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT ON THE GROUND WHEN THE CAR SITS FOR A WHILE. MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT HE IS ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO DROP THE FUEL TANK TO FIX THIS. I SEE THAT OTHER STATES HAVE THIS AS A RECALL AND AM WONDERING WHY OHIO ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT SEEMS LIKE THE RIGHT THING TO DO SINCE IT IS THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR AS THE RECALL IN OTHER STATES AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY A RELATED ISSUE!

I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MY COBALT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN REDLANDS CA DUE TO A HORRIBLE GAS SMELL. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED IF MY CAR WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP HOWEVER IT WAS NOT.
