I HAVE A FUEL PUMP LEAK ON MY 09 CHEVY COBALT. ACCORDING TO RECORDS, GM ISSUED A RECALL ON 9/19/2012 DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE PLASTIC COVERING ON THE FUEL PUMP CRACKING. THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED TO OWNER'S WHO PURCHASED REGISTERED THEIR VEHICLE IN VARIOUS STATES, INCLUDING FLORIDA (OR UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE # 12191 OTHER STATES MAY QUALIFY), HOWEVER, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL, DESPITE GM'S LEGAL OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY ALL CUSTOMERS WHO QUALIFY. MY CAR WAS REGISTERED IN FLORIDA PRIOR TO THE RECALL ISSUE DATE AND THEREFORE SHOULD QUALIFY. MY CAR HAS BEEN ISSUING THE SMELL OF GASOLINE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FROM A REPUTABLE MECHANIC HAS SHOWN THAT THE PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO DIFFICULTY IGNITING THE ENGINE/STARTING THE VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO REPLACE THE PART FOR ME, THOUGH I FEEL AS AN OWNER OF A 2009 CHEVY COBALT I SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THIS RECALLED PART. *TR

GETTING INTO CAR AFTER WORK, NOTICED GASOLINE SMELL, GOT OUT OF CAR WALKED AROUND AND LOOKED UNDER CAR, DID NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE LEAKS ON GROUND. SMELL HAD NOT BEEN NOTICEABLE ALL OF THE TIME AND IS NOW WORSE, CAN ALSO SMELL INSIDE CAR AS WELL AS OUTSIDE. TO THIS DAY STILL NOT SEEING ANY LEAKS UNDER CAR HAVE BEEN PARKING OVER CARDBOARD LARGER THAN THE CAR HAVE ALSO CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOT SEEING ANYTHING. TODAY BECAME SICK FROM THE STRENGTH OF GASOLINE TO THE POINT OF VOMITING. AFTER READING TONIGHT THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR INCIDENTS, FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AS I DO LIVE IN A VERY HOT AND HUMID LOCATION THAT IS NOT PART OF THE LISTED STATES THAT CHEVROLET IS ALLOWING FOR THIS RECALL, THAT IS UNJUST. LOOKS LIKE CHEVROLET NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING FOR SOMETHING THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE OF, AGAIN! *TR
