2009 Chevrolet Cobalt complaints

THE FUEL LINE STARTED LEAKING IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, AND WAS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME STARTING. I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND FOUND A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER MY VEHICLE.

MY CAR FUEL PUMP MODULATOR PROBLEM. THAT HAS BEEN ON RECALL. BUT NOT FOR MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY OF WHAT STAT IT ORIGIONALLY WAS BOUGHT IN. BUT I THINK IF THOSE CARS HAVE RECALL WHY SHOULDNT MINE? IT NOW LEAKS GAS UNDER GAS TANK AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT GIVES ME HARD TIME. IT STARTED 7/2019. MAKES CAR BOG DOWN WHEN ACCELERATING. DOES IT SITTING AND WHEN MOVING

CAR WAS STATIONARY THEN GOT IN AND CAR WOULDN'T START AND KEY WOULDN'T GO TO OFF POSITION ONCE KEY WAS INSERTED. AFTER JUMP START ALL INFORMATION MILES ETC WAS CLEARED. WHEN DRIVING SEEMS LIKE IT WON'T GO INTO NEXT GEAR. SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND GOING SLOW EVEN 20 MPH RAMPS UP TO 4-4.5 RPM. POWER STEERING WARNING AND , AIRBAG WARNING STAYS ON IN ADDITION TO ENGINE LIGHT. TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION STARTED WORKING ON 3 OF 4 WHEN STOPPED WORKING A YEAR AGO.

MY DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE FOR 3 DAYS ABOUT MAY 15TH-18TH. I TRIED ALL THE "TRICKS" AND NOTHING WORKED. I FINALLY AM ABLE TO OPEN IT BUT THE DOOR HAMDLE BROKE OFF SHORTLY AFTER. AND NOW TODAY 6/6/19 MY DRIVER DOOR WONT LATCH EVERY TIME I CLOSE IT EVEN AFTER DEGREASING ANE REGREASING THE LATCH. ALSO MY TORSION BARS AND STEERING BAR HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THEY ONCE AGAIN HAVE COME LOOSE. THE DOORS HAPPEN IN PARK INNA DRIVEWAY AMD THE CAR SWAYING ISSUE I FEEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND WAS UNABLE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. THE CONTACT CALLED HIESER CHEVROLET (2620 W WASHINGTON ST, WEST BEND, WI 53095, (877) 228-7492) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN 2010 AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ERIKSEN CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 325 1ST AVE E, MILAN, IL 61264, (309) 756-2700) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE LEAK. ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IN RUNNING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT START AND SPILLED FUEL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SCENIC CHEVROLET (864-622-2555, LOCATED AT 3449 BLUE RIDGE BLVD, WEST UNION, SC 29696) WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE REPAIRS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) COULD NOT BE PERFORMED DUE TO CORRODED FUEL LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

MY CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE AND OUT. CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS FUEL LINE LEAKAGE WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY FOR THIS MODEL. BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHICH WAS DONE IN 2012. FUEL LINE LEAK DID NOT HAPPEN IN MY CAR UNTIL NOW. IT IS LIKE DRIVING AROUND IN A FUEL BOMB WITH MY LITTLE KIDS. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET ($1100) FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH MUCH.

AFTER DRIVING CAR APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES ON COUNTY ROADS, AT 25-35MPH. I ARRIVE AT MY DESTINATION, STOP, SHIFT INTO PARK, AND REACH TO TURN KEY OFF. I AM UNABLE TO MOVE KEY FROM THE RUN POSITION, AND/OR REMOVE THE KEY. SO MY CAR IS SITTING THERE RUNNING AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER NEARLY 10 MINUTES TRYING TO TURN THE KEY BACK TO OFF WHILE JIGGLING THE KEY AND THE STEERING WHEEL, AND SHIFTING THE GEAR SHIFT DOWN AND BACK TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES, I AM UNABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY. I RESORT TO PULLING A FUSE UNDERHOOD TO KILL THE ENGINE.

WIRING HARNESS IN DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR CREATES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT DISABLES SIDE IMPACT SENSORS/AIRBAGS. SYMPTOMS MATCH EXACTLY THE AN EXISTING RECALL (15V500000) THAT LISTS ONLY THE 2010 MODEL YEAR AS BEING AFFECTED. THE DISABLING OF THE AIRBAG HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS ROLLED DOWN. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AND STATIONARY.

MY DAUGHTER WAS IN A WRECK 3/15/19. HER CAR FLIPPED AND SHE AND HER FRIEND WERE INJURED. NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED

THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING. AFTER INSPECTION THE FUEL PUMP WAS CHARRED AND THE ELECTRICAL PLUG RUNNING FROM THE LID THAT LOCKS UNDER THE TANK LOCKING RING CRUMBLED APART. IT WAS SO BURNT ITS A WONDER A FIRE DIDN'T START SINCE IT'S INSIDE THE TANK. TO MAKE THINGS WORSE THE LID THAT SEALS IN THE CONNECTOR AND ALL THE HOSES TO THE FUEL PUMP IS NON EXISTENT. THE PART NUMBER IS NOT EVEN LISTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED AT LOVE CHEVROLET (100 PARKRIDGE DR, COLUMBIA, SC 29212, (803) 454-9382), THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A FUEL LEAK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL LEAK WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000. *TT *TR

FUEL LEAKING FROM DRIVER REAR SIDE IMMEDIATELY AFTER TURNING ON AND STARTING CAR SITTING STATIONARY. NO DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THE LEAK. JUST ONE DAY STARTED LEAKING.

FUEL SMELL COMING FROM CAR WHEN JUST SITTING, STARTED SMALL, NOW FUEL/GAS IS GUSHING OUT. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. MECHANIC STATED FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND CRACKING. I LIVE IN A STATE IN WHICH RUSTING SHOULD NOT BE A FACTOR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A GM MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. CALLED GM TO SEE IF IT WAS RECALLED AND THEY SAID NO. WHILE SOME HAVE BEEN RECALLED MY VIN HAS NOT. GM EXCLUDES THIS FROM THEIR SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES COVERAGE AS WELL. I HAVE LOOKED ON LINE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, NOT THE ONLY ONE GM HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR COULD CATCH FIRE WITH THIS TYPE OF FUEL LEAK. PLEASE HELP, DUE TO THE INABILITY TO DRIVE IT, I'M NOW STUCK PAYING $650-$850 REPAIR BILL. GM NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE ME AS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO SAFETY PRE-INSPECTION STICKER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM DEL CHEVROLET (1644 LANCASTER AVE, PAOLI, PA 19301, (484) 324-4265).

THE INSPECTION SHOP INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED REPLACEMENT, THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT, FOUR NEW TIRES, AND A NEW LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON MORE THAN ONCE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, 14E021000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THESE COMMENTS APPLY TO MANY SEDANS! ROOF IS TOO LOW! VISION IS OBSTRUCTED . CAN'T LOOK UP. CAN'T SEE TRAFFIC LIGHTS CHANGE WHEN STOPPED IN FRONT OF THEM! ROOF SUPPORTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE FRONT MAKE DANGEROUS BLIND SPOTS. ASIDE FROM THIS , I AM ONLY 6 FEET TALL. YES I AM NOW IN MY 60'S. MOST SEDANS ARE TOO LOW TO THE GROUND. I CAN'T GET IN OR OUT! ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO PARK BESIDE A CURB. I CAN'T GET OUT! AND JUST A NOTE: AIRBAGS SAVE LIVES BUT I HATE BUCKET SEATS AND CONSOLES WITH CUP HOLDERS. SO MANY DISTRACTIONS NOW! I WISH I COULD STILL HAVE BENCH SEATS. THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO OBSERVED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE QUARTER PANEL AND FUEL LINE WERE CORRODED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,500.

THERE IS A SMELL OF FUEL AND SEEPAGE SEEMS TO COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS JUST STARTED AND IS REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED.

WE HAVE OWNED A 2009 CHEVY COBALT FOR 3 YEARS - AND EACH YEAR, SOMETHING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE FIRST YEAR, THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WAS PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET. THE SECOND YEAR, THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL. ONCE AGAIN, THE CAR IS ACTING THE SAME AS BEFORE EACH TIME THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED (STRONG GAS ODOR, LEAKING FUEL, DECREASED POWER WHEN TURNING ESPECIALLY, AS IF SUFFICIENT FUEL ISN'T BEING SUPPLIED TO THE MOTOR) FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO REPORT THE REPEAT CONCERNS (CASE # 9-4957891748) AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT (#12191) AVAILABLE FOR A FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACEMENT THAT OUR CAR MAY QUALIFY FOR AND WAS DIRECTED TO TAKE IT TO ANY GM DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW WHICH I DID THE SAME DAY. I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND BASED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW, THE PROBLEM THIS TIME IS DUE TO THE FUEL LINES RUSTING OUT, WHICH WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT. THERE ARE ONLY 121,000 MILES ON OUR VEHICLE AND IT IS KEPT IN A GARAGE WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. NEEDING TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES NOW AFTER HAVING TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED TWICE (AND ALL WITHIN 3 YEARS) SEEMS TO BE POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP ON BEHALF OF THE MANUFACTURER, AND AFTER RESEARCHING SIMILAR CONCERNS ONLINE REVEALS AN ABUNDANCE OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF CONTINUED FUEL SYSTEM REPAIRS/MALFUNCTIONS OF OTHER CHEVY COBALT

I HAVE 2009 COBALT WITH 87.5K MILES HAS RUSTED OUT FUEL LINE NEAR CLIP UNDER DRIVER'S SIDE. CAR HAS HARD START DUE TO LACK OF PRESSURE IN LINE AND LEAKED WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. THE ENTIRE LINE NEEDS REPLACED. NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL, BUT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED IN OTHER STATES. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE DRIVEN OFF THE LOT AND TOOK CAR OF UNDERSIDE DUE TO PREVIOUS KNOWN RECALLS, IT IS WELL MAINTAINED. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE LEAK TO THE EXHAUST, THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR WASN'T DRIVABLE AND THE PARTS WERE DIFFICULT TO FIND FROM DEALERS. I HAD MINE REPLACED AT NATIONAL CHAIN REPAIR SHOP FOR ABOUT $600 COMPARED TO WHAT DEALER WOULD HAVE CHARGED. LOOKING AT DATABASE THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE DUE TO THE NATURE OF IT BEING A FUEL LEAK, ESPECIALLY WITH EXHAUST SO CLOSE TO THE LEAK. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED OR EXPANDED TO ENSURE THE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR CAR BLOWING UP OR CATCHING FIRE. DEALERS SEEM CLUELESS AS DOES THE MANUFACTURER WHICH WILL PROBABLY NOW CLAIM THIS IS DUE TO AGE OF THE CAR SINCE MANY REPORTS ARE ON CARS 10 YEARS OLD AT THIS POINT.

2009 CHEVROLET COBALT WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING WHEEL BECAME TIGHT AND HARD TO STEER

FUEL LINE ROTTING OUT. FUEL SPRAYING ONTO EXHAUST SYSTEM WHEN DRIVING.POTENTIAL FIRE/EXPLOSION SAFETY CONCERN. CONTACTED DEALER OF PURCHASE NO RECALL / NO HELP.

MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR.

UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION. AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUTTING IT OFF. YOU CAN NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. YOU ARE UNABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE POSITION TO REMOVE IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATLY.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ACCELERATOR STICKS AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET IT TO STOP IS TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT SMELLED A FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TWO FUEL LINES WERE RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,200.

MY POWER STEERING IS HAVING ISSUES AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL AT TIMES THE SPEEDOMETER AND RBM GOES BACK AND FORTH AND THE WHOLE CAR SHIFTS WHEN I DRIVE.

MY CAR HAD A MAJOR GAS LEAK, TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND HAD IT REPAIRED. MECHANIC SAID I SHOULD CHECK INTO GETTING REIMBURSED. I TOOK THE REPAIR BILL TO GANLEY CHEVROLET DEALER LOCATED AT 13865 BROOKPARK RD, BROOKPARK OH 44142. MAN IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECKED WITH HIS SUPERVISOR ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT THEN GAVE ME FORM TO FILL OUT TO SEND TO GMAC FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I CONTACTED GMC TO VERIFY THE CORRECT MAILING ADDRESS AND MAILED THE FORM TO THEM ON AUGUST 6TH THEY SAID I SHOULD GET THE REIMBURSEMENT. I DIDN'T HEAR BACK SO I CALLED THEM ON OCT 15TH. THEY WANTED ME TO FAX PAPERWORK AND REGISTRATION TO THEM AND SAID REIMBURSEMENT WOULD BE FORTHCOMING. I FAXED THE PAPERWORK TO THEM ON OCTOBER 18TH. I RECEIVED A CALL ON OCTOBER 25TH AND WAS TOLD NO REIMBURSEMENT. MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 38,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIR, MECHANIC SAID LINES ON FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WERE DRY ROTTED AND THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. HE HAD TO DROP THE TANK AND REPLACE THE LINES AND THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $486.00. GMAC REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIRS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND THEY REFERRED ME TO THE STATE SECRETARY, I CONTACTED RUTH JOHNSON, SECRETARY OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN PER BBB INSTRUCTIONS. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HER THAT I SHOULD CONTACT YOU. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BUT PER GMAC IT IS NO LONGER VALID. CAN YOU HELP?

LEAKING FUEL RIGHT UNDER THE DRIVERSIDE BY THE BACK DRIVERSIDE TIRE. BIG NOTICEABLE PUDDLE OF FUEL. CAN'T BE GOOD FOR GAS BY HEAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V073000 (STEERING) WAS CLOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

AS I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE, IT BECAME APPARENT THAT I HAD LOST MY POWER STEERING. I COULD BARELY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP MY CAR FROM HITTING THE SIDE OF THE GARAGE AS I BACKED OUT.

FUEL SMELL AND FOUND THE BOTTOM OF THE GAS TANK WET AND DRIPPING, FORMING A PUDDLE OF FUEL UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THE LEAK ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND RUNNING. OVERNIGHT THE FUEL HAS EVAPORATED FROM THE FLOOR AND DOESN'T BEGIN LEAKING AGAIN UNTIL CAR IS STARTED AND RUNNING.

GAS LINE ROTTED OUT IN MULTIPLE PLACES

THE COBALT IS LEAKING GAS FROM A LINE NEAR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR IS LOSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN PARKED WHILE NOT IN USE. GAS POOLS UNDER THE CAR, THE SMELL IS VERY STRONG AND EASILY RECOGNIZED AS GAS. SINCE I NOTICED THE SMELL, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL/YEAR OF COBALT FOR THE ISSUE I AM EXPERIENCING, HOWEVER MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL. I WANTED TO REACH OUT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS RECALL COULD HAVE AFFECTED MY CAR ALONG WITH THE OTHERS MADE IN THE SAME PLANT.

WHEN ACCELERATING HARD TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY FROM EXIT OR GOING UP A HILL THE ACCELERATOR GETS SUCK. THE CAR WILL NOT SLOW DOWN WITH OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. WE JUST PRAY WE CAN GET OVER TO BREAK DOWN LANE WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP CAR IS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL, KEEPING YOUR FOOT ON BRAKE AND PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ONCE THE CARE IS IN PARK YOU MUST SHUT OFF CAR AND RESTART. IT YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE WITHOUT SHUTTING CAR OFF IT WILLL START RUNNING BY ITSELF AGAIN GOING 65MP IN THE BREAK DOWN LANE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT WAS IN 2009 WITH ONLY 700 MILES ON THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME WAS IN 2014 AND AGAIN SEPTEMBER 2018. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE IT DIDN'T HAPPENED. TOLD ME IT WAS A FREAK OCCURRENCE.PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR IS A 2009 MODEL WITH ONLY 23,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. MY HUSBAND DROVE MY CAR THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. HE WAS ON THE MASS PIKE AND ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. WE CALLED GM HEADQUARTERS BECAUSE WE GOT NO WHERE WITH OUR DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST. WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF PROBLEM UNLESS WE PAID FOR THE ALL TESTS FIRST WHICH WE DID TWICE BEFORE. ALL THREE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND A HIGHER POWER WAS WATCHING OVER US. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ALONG WITH OTHER PEOPLE. TRAVELING 65MP IN THE BREAK DOWN LANE IS NO JOKE. THE CAR HAS ALSO HAD 2 RECALLS

STRONG FUEL SMELL, TROUBLE STARTING CAR, NO VISIBLE LEAK. NOT COVERED UNDER COBALT FUEL RECALL. THE PROBLEMS INDICATE THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO GET THESE UNSAFE CARS FIXED.

2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL LEAKAGE AND RECALL FOR MODEL. REPAIRS TO CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO RUST AN CORROSION. *AS *TR

FUEL LINES BAD AND LEAKING THE DEALER STATED IT WASNT UNDER RECALL BUT DID TELL ME THAT IT SHOULD OF BEEN AS MANY AS HE HAS FIXED OVER 100 OF THEM SINCE 07 COBALTS. THE COST OVER 600.00 DOLLARS. IT WILL SIT UNTIL I WIN THE LOTTERY CHEVY SHOULD STEP UP AND FIX IT FOR FREE.I JUST PAID THE CAR OFF LAST MONTH GO FIGURE.

GAS WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. BOLTS AND STRAPS HOLDING FUEL TANK WERE RUSTED AND DEALER HAD TO REMOVE.
