2006 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

BAD SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM MY VEHICLE MY FAMILY MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AND NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF MY FUEL PUMP. SAW RECALLS ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR MODELS IN 2006 AND 2007 MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THAT LIST AND ADDED TO THIS RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT LS SEDAN 2.2 4CYL. THANK YOU

ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHT (T/C) REAPPEAR DOES NOT TURN OFF THROUGH NORMAL DRIVE. TEMPATURE DISPLAY NOT OBTAIN DATA FOR OUTSIDE HEAR INDEX. POWER STEERING WARNING IS SHOWING DURING USUAL OPERATION SMALL RESISTANCE WITH TURNING OF WHEEL NOT NOTICEABLE IF UNAWARE OF CAR CAPABILITIES. POWER TRAIN POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE NO POWER GOING UP A VERTICAL HIGHWAY HEIGHT CAUSES STOPPAGE OF MOMENTUM WHILE EXCELERATOR IS BEING APPLIED TO THE MAX. TAKEN CAR TO DEALER FOR PROFESSIONAL OPINION CONSIDERING THE ASKING PRICE BEING HUGE THAT NUMBER OF DEFECTS ARE LARGE ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS THESE PROBLEMS ARE EXHAUSTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR AND FUEL LEAKING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE MODELS IN OUR SHOP AND BOTH BEING 2006 MODELS. THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTING OUT AT THE SUPPORT CLAMP NEAR THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS LOCATION IS ABOUT 4 INCHES FROM THE EXHAUST. FUEL SPRAYS ON TO EXHAUST AND VAPORIZES. THIS ALLOWS FUMES TO ENTER THE INTERIOR OF VEHICLE. FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND CAUSING DRIVER TO BECOME WEAK AND DROWSY. THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT IS HIGHER THEN THAT OF A POLITICIAN ACTUALLY DOING THEIR JOB.... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ODOR OF FUEL PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
