2007 Chevrolet Cobalt complaints

NOTICED THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND GAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. A LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE WOULD BE LEFT UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT OR WHEN LEFT IDLING, EVEN IF ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT WAS DETERMINED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE LEAK WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP. READ ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE 07 CHEVROLET COBALT IN SEVERAL STATES. I CALLED CHEVROLET TO COMPLAIN BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS REGISTERED IN MARYLAND. IT IS MY OPINION THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO OPEN THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL FAULTY FUEL PUMPS ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL VEHICLE AND NOT LIMIT THE RECALL TO SELECT STATES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A CLUNK ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IN THE WHEEL AREA. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE SUSPENSION NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY PUNCTURED UP IN THE VERY TOP OF THE SUSPENSION. AS OF YET I HAVENT GOTTEN IT REPLACED AS I WAS WAITING TO GET IT ALL DONE WHEN THE CAR GETS INSPECTED ALONG WITH NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2007 COBOLT AND FIX IT. I ALSO HAVE ONLY BACK SPEAKERS THAT WORK FOR THE RADIO AND THE ELECTRIC LOCKS MECHANISM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FOR PASSENGER DOOR HAS NEVER WORKED SINCE I GOT IT AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTED REPAIRS AT AUTO DEALERSHIP. WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY. GOING TO A FOREIGN AUTO MAKER FOR NEXT PURCHASE. *TR

THE LEFT FRONT SPEAKER QUIT WORKING. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL CHIME DID NOT WORK. WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL CHIMES (DOOR OPEN, KEY IN THE IGNITION, ETC) WAS NOT WORKING.

A LEAK OCCURRED IN THE FUEL LINES ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. SOME 2007 CHEVROLET COBALTS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT THE FAULTY PARTS WHICH CAUSED THE RECALL WERE INSTALLED IN THIS COBALT. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO FIRE BECAUSE OF THE LEAKING FUEL, BUT THE POSSIBILITY WAS THERE. ALL COBALTS WITH THE FAULTY PARTS SHOULD HAVE THEM REPLACED BY GENERAL MOTORS. *TR

FUEL STARTED LEAKING FROM ABOVE THE PLASTIC GAS TANK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CAR REPAIR GARAGE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A CRACKED SUPPLY LINE TO THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. IT APPEARED TO BE A FATIGUE FAILURE. A NEW GM PUMP ASSY WAS INSTALLED AT A COST OF $600. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN OKLAHOMA AND STILL HAS OKLAHOMA PLATES. UPON SEARCHING FOR A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, I LOCATED THE RECALL BUT GM CUT IT OFF AT 19000 VEHICLES BEFORE MINE. THEY MUST HAVE ASSUMED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT APPARENTLY THE FIX DID NOT WORK ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE STILL COMING IN. I AM GLAD I DID NOT PARK THE CAR IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE OR THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FIRE STARTED FROM THE STRONG FUMES CREATED BY THE LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL BEING FORCED OUT OF THE SUPPLY TUBE WHICH IS UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE PUMP. GM WILL NOT COVER THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE THE VIN # LIES OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLES COVERED IN THEIR RECALL. *TR *JS

IN MARCH, 2009, MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVY COBALT FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER IN GILBERT, AZ. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, AND THERE HAVE BEEN FEW MAINTENANCE ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. IN APRIL, 2012 SHE NOTICED THAT SHE WAS HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING THE VEHICLE, AND WHEN IT DID START IT SMELLED STRONGLY OF GASOLINE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE CAR NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. THE CAR THEN STARTED OK, BUT WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FULL WE CONTINUED TO SMELL GASOLINE OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC IN JUNE FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE GASOLINE SMELL (PLUS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON). THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DIAGNOSED WITH AN EVAPORATIVE GAS LEAK, SO THE GAS CAP WAS REPLACED. AGAIN WE THOUGHT THAT THE ISSUE WAS CORRECTED UNTIL TWO WEEKS LATER MY DAUGHTER FILLED UP HER GAS TANK, AND WHEN SHE PARKED AT WORK SMELLED GAS STRONGLY AGAIN, AND THIS TIME NOTICED FLUID DRIPPING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE MECHANIC, AND THIS TIME HE FOUND A CRACK IN THE PORT ASSEMBLY. HE REPAIRED IT WITH AN EPOXY REPAIR KIT TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY, BUT TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH GENERAL MOTORS TO SEE IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL OF ANY SORT. I CHECKED WITH THE NHTSA AT SAFERCAR.GOV AND THERE IT WAS. THERE MOST DEFINITELY WAS A RECALL THAT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF REGARDING THIS FUEL LEAK ISSUE. I SENT A LETTER TO GENERAL MOTORS REQUESTING A COPY OF THE RECALL, ASKING WHY I WASN'T ORIGINALLY NO

MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT BEGAN LEAKING FUEL WHICH SENT STRONG VAPORS INTO THE CAR CAUSING ME TO NEARLY FAINT. AFTER RESEARCHING 2007 CHEVY COBALT RECALLS, I FOUND THAT IT WAS RECALLED IN 2009 FOR A DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRES. WHEN I NOTIFIED TWO DIFFERENT TUCSON CHEVY DEALERSHIPS OF THIS DEFECT AND REQUESTED IT BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, BOTH TURNED ME AWAY SAYING MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, THOUGH IT IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. I EVEN TOOK IN FORMS PROVING THAT THE RECALLS FOR THE 2007 CHEVY COBALT DID NOT STATE IT IS ONLY ON CERTAIN ONES. *TR

SHE STATED THERE STEERING IS STILL AN ISSUE, WHERE IT WOULD BECOME STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ON 78 GOING TO SAMS WHEN ME AND MY FAMILY NOTICED A LOUD SMELL OF FUEL AND SOME MOTORIST PASSING BY POINT AT MY CAR STATING THAT WE HAD LEAKAGE COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. SO AS I WAS TRYING TO GET OVER THE CAR SUDDENLY CUTS OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREAKING FREEWAY ALMOST OFF THE ROAD BUT NOT QUITE. SO A GOOD PERSON STOPPED AND HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR OFF UNTIL THE POLICE SHOWED TO HAVE OTHER MOVING CARS MOVE TO THE NEXT LANE UNTIL WE WERE IN A SAFE PLACE. SURE ENOUGH THE FUEL UNDER MY CAR WAS POURING OUT. I ONLY HAD MY CAR A YEAR AND NEVER HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY CARS I HAVE EVER HAD THIS IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST CAR FROM CHEVROLET I EVER OWNED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I GOT THE CAR FROM BUT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT ALL AND THIS IS VERY UPSETTING. SO NOW I AM WITHOUT A CAR FOR NOW.

BUT IT ALSO INCLUDED SAYING THAT MY CAR WHICH CAME FROM ONE OF THE STATES THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER REPLACING PART BUT WOULD CHARGE A FEE TO FIX IT. THEY WOULD HONOR BUT UPON CALLING MY GM DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE CAR SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT I INFORMED THEM I FOUND IT ON THE SAME SIGHT IN WHICH I HAD MY STEERING FIXED FROM A RECALL AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL THEN I ALSO CALLED THE GM MAIN NUMBER AND THEY REFUSED A RECALL EVEN THOUGH I SAID THERE WAS AND WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT THERE IS DOCUMENT OF FIRES FROM THE VEHICLE THAT STARTS FROM THE IGNITION AND MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN MY VEHICLE SO TO ME LOSS OF LIFE IS NOT WORTH THERE EXCUSES WHEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING FIRES HOPE I GET SOME RESPONSE TO MAYBE MAKE SURE NOBODY DIES FROM THIS PROBLEM. *JS

I AM IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA WHERE THE WEATHER IS 104'. I BEGAN TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND PARKED MY CAR IN A GARAGE WHERE I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS. THEN AS THE DAYS WENT ON I SMELLED THE GAS STRONGER AND FUMES. I WAS RIDING MY LITTLE 1 YEAR OLD COUSIN AROUND WHEN I NOTICED A GAS LEAK FROM THE CAR. HE THEN BEGAN TO COUGH AND I IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED VEHICLES FOR HIS SAFETY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COBALTS HAD A RECALL ON FUEL SYSTEMS BUT MINE WAS NOT COVERED. I DID HAVE A POWER WHEEL STEERING RECALL WHICH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I DIDN'T HAVE A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WOULD THINK THEY MESSED UP BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. I NEED THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE HEAT IS RISING OUTSIDE AND THE GAS IS ACTUALLY SPILLING FROM THE TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIX IF THE MANUFACTURER CREATED SO MANY. *TR
