BEEN SMELLING GAS AND GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T SEEM GAS DRIPPING BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE GO TO INVESTIGATE IT AND I SEE A BUNCH OF FORMS OF IT LEAKING IN THE SAME SPOT AND IT EXACTLY WHAT IT IS

FUEL IS DRIPPING FROM UNDER VEHICLE, AHEAD FOR REAR LEFT WHEEL, FORMING A PUDDLE WHEN PARKED. FUEL STOPS DRIPPING AT SOME POINT AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF PRESUMABLY WHEN FUEL LINE IS DRAINED. ENGINE IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART, REQUIRING ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF CRANKING BEFORE STARTING, PROBABLY DUE TO FUEL LINE HAVING TO BE REFILLED. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER TO CHECK AND REPAIR THE FUEL LEAK.

FUEL PUDDLE UNDER CAR- SHOP HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AS IT WAS LEAKING ON TOP OF THE TANK. GM REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AS THEY SAY ONLY 2006 THRU 2009 CHEVY COBALT'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2010 (LAST YEAR MADE) THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SENARIO - DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS MANDATED.

STARTED SMELLING GAS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. AFTER I PARKED THE CAR, I NOTICED SOMETHING DRIPPING FROM RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVERS DOOR UNDER THE CAR. I HAD SOMEONE LOOK IT AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY A GAS LEAK. ONCE WE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, WE NOTICED THAT THE GAS LINES WERE RUSTED AND THAT IS WHERE THE GAS WAS LEAKING OUT FROM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT.

FUEL LEAKING NEAR LEFT REAR WHEEL FROM ROTTED FUEL LINES. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN, FUEL LEAKS WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING.

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING. I HAVE TO TURN IT ON AND WHEN I HAVE MADE MY TURN I HAVE TO FLIP IT OFF MYSELF OR IT DOES NOT GO OFF. I BELIEVE THIS FAILS TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 108, LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVISES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. IF THE TURN-SIGNALS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY DEACTIVATE, THE DRIVER MAY FAIL TO TURN THEM OFF MANUALLY. AN ERRONEOUS ACTIVE TURN-SIGNAL MAY MISLEAD PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. OF COURSE THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE SAFETY RISK. I GLANCE THROUGH THE SAFETY ISSUE RECALLS AND SAW THAT A 2019 GM AUTOMOBILE WAS RECALLED WITH THIS ISSUE STATING THE FMVSS SAFETY STANDARD; THEREFORE, I AM SUBMITTING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V117000.

FUEL LINE RUSTED ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AND BURST WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. FUEL PUMP SHORTED OUT AND DIED WHILE DRIVING A FEW MONTHS LATER.
