2007 Chevrolet Cobalt complaints

MY WIFE'S VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER STEERING A FEW TIMES. ONE OF THOSE TIMES THE POWER STEERING FAILED WAS WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ANOTHER TIME THE POWER STEERING WOULDN'T ENGAGE AFTER THE CAR HAD SAT OVERNIGHT IN THE RAIN. ANOTHER TIME MY WIFE TRIED TO LEAVE WORK AND THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER STEERING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON THE CHEVY COBALT. GM CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE RECALL ON MY WIFE'S CAR HOWEVER THE SAME ISSUE IS CONTINUING TO OCCUR WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS.

STRONG FUEL SMELL IN AND AROUND THE CAR FOR THE LAST MONTH WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, TODAY I SEE PUDDLE OF FUEL IN FRONT OF LEFT REAR TIRE, I CRAWLED UNDER THE CAR AND SEE GAS RUNNING DOWN THE GAS LINE, REMOVED THE HEAT SHIELD AROUND THE GAS LINE TO SEE GAS LINES HAVE EXCESSIVE RUST BEHIND THE HEAT SHIELD AND GAS RUNNING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S NOT FROM THE GAS TANK LIKE THE RECALL, IT'S FROM THE GAS LINE ITSELF LEAKING AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WALKING BY SMOKING OR CHILDREN PLAYING THAT MAY CAUSE A SPARK YET I CAN'T FIND A RECALL BUT SEE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WHILE LOOKING FOR RECALLS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THIS. I PUT A PAN UNDER THE LEAK BUT IT IS STILL OPEN GAS AND A LOT OF FUMES THAT COULD IGNITE. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE BODILY HARM IS DONE. THANK YOU. *TR

WHEN THE 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT IS BEING DRIVEN OR SITTING STILL, THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY STATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL, BUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TITLE IS SHOWING SALVAGED, THEY CANNOT MAKE THE REPAIR WITHOUT A COPY OF A RECALL LETTER THAT WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT IF I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER AND THEY SAID I WOULD NOT NEED A LETTER. THEY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD ABOUT THE TITLE. AFTER THAT, THEY STATED THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. IF THIS IS A KNOW SAFETY ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 & NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000 ), WHAT DOES THE TITLE HAVE TO DO WITH NEEDING TO REPAIR A KNOWN PROBLEM. WE HAVE RECEIVED OTHER SAFETY RECALLS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14E021000, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V171000, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 & NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V07300) AND THEY HAVE MADE THESE REPAIRS.

THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT SHE DOES NOT NEED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS RIGHT NOW.

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY COBALT, WHICH HAS RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNS ON, AND THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND RECENTLY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START AT ALL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON COBALT TRACTION CONTROL FAILURES, AND I KNOW THIS TO NOT BE AN ISOLATED EVENT. SOME EXPERTS ESTIMATE THAT THE MAJORITY OF COBALTS SUFFER FROM SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING TRACTION CONTROL FAILURES. IN ALL RESPECTS, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES A RECALL.
