2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

SMELL GAS VERY STRONGLY AND GAS IS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK.THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE MODEL IN 2009. NOW IT IS CLOSED. NO LONGER OPEN. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?

I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK EVERYDAY AROUND 50 MILES EVERYDAY. I HAVE HAD ALL THIS WORK DONE THE THE CAR I HAVE TRIED TO GET GENERAL MOTORS TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM WHICH AFTER ALL THIS WORK THE CAR SHAKES AND MAKES VERY LOUD NOISES ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I CALLED A GENERAL MOTORS HELPER LAST WEEK WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO GET ME SOME INFORMATION AND HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BACK YET. I HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TO GO TO AND FROM WORK, IS IT GOING TO TAKE THE CAR BEING WREAKED AND ME AND OR ANOTHER PERSON ON THE FREEWAY TO BE KILLED BEFORE ANYBODY TAKES THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY? THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET SO I AM NOT JUST TRYING TO SAY IT IS JUST ME. I HAVE SPENT ALL MONEY I HAD PUT BACK TRYING TO GET THIS CAR SAFE ON THE FREEWAY, I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM RODNEY COBB IN EATON, OHIO AND WAS HOPING GENERAL MOTORS WOULD TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY BUT I GUESS NOT SO I AM HOPING AND PRAYING TO GET SOME HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT. PLEASE I NEED HELP AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY ANYMORE OR GET RID OF THE CAR. GENERAL MOTORS AND RODNEY COBB CHEVROLET WILL NOT HELP ME ON MY OWN I HAVE TRIED, THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY MONEY FOR A FAULTY CAR THAT I CANNOT AFFORD, SO I AM ASKING YOU TO PLEASE HELP....THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE DRIVER SUFFERED A BACK INJURY. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUFFERED A NECK AND BACK INJURY AND THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT SUSTAINED A HEAD AND RIGHT SIDE INJURY. ALL OCCUPANTS RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING TODAY IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE POWER STEERING RECALL WAS PERFORMED I'M MARCH OF 2011. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR A KNOCKING NOISE PREVIOUS TO THIS DATE (2007). NOTHING WAS EVER FOUND. I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THE KNOCKING WAS RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING. I IGNORED THE KNOCKING BECAUSE I CANT AFFORD FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND NOTHING. THIS IS A RECALL THAT WAS NEVER FULLY CORRECTED. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM IGNORED THE REAL ISSUE. I STILL HAVE KNOCKING NOISE AND NOW, LOSS OF STEERING. *TR

VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND AT A STOP CAN NOT STEER AT ALL FOR A MIN THEN IT RE ENGAGES BUT THEN IS STIFF. SEEMS INTERMITTENT, BUT SEEMS AS IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

BROUGHT 2007 COBALT ON 7/09/14. REPORTED THE PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLE SHUTTING- OFF ON ME AND NO INSPECTION STICKER WAS ON THE CAR 7/10/14. THEY WROTE A WORK ORDER OUT. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO ARCHER AUTO TO GET WORK PERFORMED AND FOR A INSPECTION STICKER. ARCHER AUTO KEPT MY 2007 COBALT FOR 3 MONTHS. UNTIL I CALLED BBB BUSINESS AND FILED A COMPLAINT. ARCHER AUTO SAID THEY FIX MY VEHICLE BUT DIDN'T. ARCHER AUTO PUT A ILLEGAL INSPECTION STICKER ON IT TO PASS THE EMISSION TEST. ARCHER AUTO RETURNED MY VEHICLE. THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. BROUGHT IT TO FIRESTONE TO GET FIX. THEN LATER FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. THE 2007 COBALT WAS SHUTTING-OFF ON ME AND LOSING ALL POWER..THEN I TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE THEIR WAS ANOTHER RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THEN ON 9/13/14 THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF ON ME. LOSING ALL POWER , LOCKING THE BRAKES AND POWER STEERING ALSO. I RAN INTO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE AND TOTALED PUT THE 2007 COBALT. *TR

MY CAR HAD SMELLED OF GASOLINE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK. I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND I HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY. IT HAD LEAKING AND CRACKED LINES. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED RECALLS FOR THIS SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHE FOR MY FAMILY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND I AM TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS TO MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS A BUILT IN ANTI THEFT SYSTEM . THIS SYSTEM IS CONTROLLED BY A COMPUTER . AS WELL AS AN ETCHING IN THE KEY THAT IS RECOGNIZED BY THE IGNITION . THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR US WHERE THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING . WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU LOSE YOUR INSTRUMENTATION, POWER STEERING , YOUR TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND YOUR ENGINE SPUTTERS . THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US AT HIGH SPEED IN THE FREEWAY , SLOW SPEED ON CITY STREETS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN . THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT IT IS SO SPORADIC THAT OUR LOCAL GM DEALER IS UNABLE TO ASSESS THE ISSUE . *TR
