STARTED NOTICING A STRONG FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE OF MY 2007 COBALT AND IT QUICKLY GOT WORSE AND EVENTUALLY HAD SUCH A STRONG ODOR INSIDE MY CAR THAT I HAD TO KEEP THE WINDOW CRACKED ANY TIME I WAS IN MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK AND I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED. I WAS VERY UPSET THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT VERY ISSUE BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO A COUPLE OF STATES. THEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER REPAIRS ARE MADE ON MY CAR THE RECALL IS EXTENDED TO INCLUDE A HANDFUL MORE STATES BUT STILL MISSOURI WAS NOT INCLUDED SO I CAN NOT GET REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSE. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT; YET I HAD TO COME UP WITH ALMOST $600 TO TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF BECAUSE I DO NOT LIVE IN ONE OF THE COVERED STATES. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE IN THOSE STATES ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN MYSELF AND MANY OTHER AFFECTED OWNERS. *TR

MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS RARE AND I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND TO SEE IF I WOULD BE REIMBURSE THE MONEY SPENT FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS VIA EMAIL. I EXPLAINED MY ISSUE WITH A GAS LEAK AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL. I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THE TIME WHICH WAS JULY OF 2010. RECENTLY I WAS MADE AWARE OF A RECALL WITH THE CHEVY COBALT 2007 HAVING A GAS LEAK. I AGAIN CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ONLY TO BE TOLD MY CAR IS NOT VIN SPECIFIC TO THE RECALL.NO ONE WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MY CAR IS A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND I HAD THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS STATED IN THE CURRENT RECALL.

I'VE SENT TWO MORE COMPLAINTS ASKING THAT THE RECALL BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MORE VIN'S AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO THOSE COMPLAINTS. *TR
