2006 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

I HAVE A SERIOUS LEAK IN MY FUEL TANK. THE LOCATION OF THIS LEAK IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE REAR TIRE. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG IT CAN BE SMELLED OVER 50FT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LITERALLY HAD GAS LEAK ONTO A FRIENDS HAND WHEN THEY LEANED DOWN TO CHECK FOR A LEAK. I MYSELF AM A 24 YEAR OLD FEMALE, MY PASSENGERS ON A DAILY BASIS INCLUDE A 24 YEAR OLD MALE, AND TWO CHILDREN ONE OF WHICH IS MY FOUR YEAR OLD SON AND A FIVE YEAR OLD GIRL! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILIES AS WELL AS FRIENDS ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY! I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY AS WELL! YOU HAVE A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE BUT ONLY LIMITED TO A FEW SPECIFIC STATES! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, I HAVE READ REPORTS OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS ME WITH THIS CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMETHING HORRIFIC HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO IS EITHER IN OR NEAR THESE VEHICLES! *TR
