2009 Chevrolet Cobalt complaints

GAS SMELL AFTER DRIVING CAR. THIS IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, BUT ONLY IN HOT CLIMATES! SO WHAT IF OUR CAR BLOWS UP IN OUR GARAGE DUE TO GAS FUMES. THE GAS FUME VOLUME IS HIGH, AND I FEEL UNSAFE.

PURCHASED USED 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT LT COUPE VEHICLE SMELLS IF GASOLINE BUT VIN NUMBER NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. VISIBLE PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND THE GASOLINE DEPLETES QUICKLY. NEED REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS. GM NEEDS TO EXPAND RECALL. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. I HAVE CHILDREN AS I'M SURE MANY OF US DO, I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK THEIR LIVES BECAUSE GM HASN'T INCLUDED ENOUGH VEHICLES IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

NOTICED FUEL LEAKING FROM PLASTIC FUEL LINE UNDER CAR. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN TEXAS BY MY AUNT AND I UNDERSTAND MANY CARS OF THE SAME TYPE HAVE THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. WHILE I JUST NOTICED THIS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FIRE TO MY CAR AS OF NOW RELATED TO THIS I AM VERY CONCERNED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM.

THE IGNITION SWITCH WON'T TURN ON AND SOMETIMES WON'T TURN OFF ITS VERY LOOSE ONCE YOU DO GET IT ON AND NOW WON'T TURN OVER AT ALL

IF MY TANK IS QUITE FULL IT LEAKS GAS TOWARD THE DRIVERS SIDE, I HAVE A SMALL PUDDLE WHERE EVER IT SITS. I FIRST NOTICED A STRONG ODOR THAN COUPLE DAYS LATER A PUDDLE OF GAS IT PROBABLY DOES IT ALSO WHILE DRIVING TO.. DONT HAVE CAMERA TO TAKE PICTURES.

HAVE A SMALL PUDDLE LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR ON DRIVERS SIDE

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS 2009 CHEVY COBALT LS SEDAN AND I ONLY HAD IT SINCE MID AUGUST 2018 AND ALL WAS FINE WHEN I PURCHASED. NOW I HAVE A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FROM UNDER DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL AREA AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE AND THEN PARKED . I CALLED THE GM HOTLINE THAT I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLINE AND THEY SAID THAT ITS AN OUT OF POCKET PROBLEM AND THAT MY VIN DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL WHICH HAS BEEN ISSUED IN SEVERAL OTHER STATES FOR FREE OF CHARGE. HOW CAN THIS BE ALLOWED,FIXED IN ONE STATE FREE OF CHARGE BY GM AND NOT FIXED AT ALL IN ANOTHER. A FUEL PROBLEM OR A LEAK OF ANT KIND SHOULD BE A CONCERN FOR GM AND IS A MAJOR ISSUE.I'M LOCATED IN PENNSYLVANIA BUT MY VIN SAYS I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL OFFERED ELSEWHERE,SO SHOULD I HAVE TO FOOT A REPAIR BILL FOR AN ISSUE THAT GM MOST DEFINITELY KNOWS ABOUT. I'M CONFUSED, THE PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS BEING DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL FOR THE OTHER AREAS YET I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE THIS RECALL IS NOT IN PENNSYLVANIA. THE RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES NOT JUST SOME OF THEM AND FREE OF CHARGE .I RELAYED INFO TO A GM REP ON 9/10 /18 IN THE EVENING AND ALL SHE COULD DO WAS APOLIGIZE AND THEN TELL ME THAT IT DEPENDED ON WHICH MANUFACTURING PLANT MADE THE VEHICLE. WHAT THAT HAS TO DO WITH IT STUMPS ME I TOLD HER THAT IS SHODDY AND SUB STANDARD WORK SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT GENERAL MOTORS EXPENSE NOT HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE AN EXTRA $1000 OR SO SITTING AROUND TO SHELL OUT. ALL I SEEM TO BE GETT

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME .BUT I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER CAR AND HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO GET FIXED I HAVE READ ON HERE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE HOPEFUULY IT WILL BE A RECALL

FUEL LINE LEAKING RIGHT AT GAS TANK. SMELLED FUEL WHEN I STOPPED FOR THE LAST WEEK OR SO. FINALLY LOOK UNDER AND LINES ARE COMPLETELY CORRODED. LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT IS VERY FAMOUS AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

FUEL LEAKING FROM RUSTED FUEL LINE AT EXACT PLACE WHERE MANY OTHER COLBALTS ARE LEAKING. MOUNT USED TO SECURE LINES OR TAPE USED TO INSULATE LINES TRAP WATER AND CAUSE PREMATURE RUSTING. LINE AND LEAK IS APPROX. 5 TO 6 INCHES FROM EXHAUST PIPE.

THERE'S A STRONG RATTLE NOISE BELOW THE CARS WHICH COMES FROM A PLASTIC GASKET LOCATED ON THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN, THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND DENOTES PPOR MANUFACTURER QUALITY. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU PASS OVER A MINOR OBSTACLE.

FUEL LEAKING FROM VEHICLE CAUSING A DANGEROUS GAS PUDDLE UNDER THE VEHICLE AND GAS VAPORS SHAPING INTO VEHICLE. GM COVERS THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT DOESN'T COVER ALL VINS WITH SPECIAL BULLETIN 12191B.

HEADLIGHTS FAILING WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF REPLACEMENT. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. LOW BEAM. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH SIDE AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN LAST 75,000 MILES.

THE KEY IS STUCK IN MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT CAR,I CAN NOT PAY $300 TO GET IT FIXED,I'M A WIDOW ON LIMITED INCOME,WHAT CAN I DO? THE CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED,IT'S A LEMON,NO GOOD,HOPE U CAN HELP ME,THANKS.

WE WERE PARKING AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD TO OPERATE, REALLY CONCERNED THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY

FUEL LINES HAVE STARTED LEAKING VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THESE FUEL LINES REPLACED THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FAILED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" WAS DISPLAYED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, MY CAR WONT START AND THE ANTI THEFT ON THE DASH COMES ON BUT THERE'S NOTHING ON TO KILL THE BATTERY. ALSO SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON BUT GOES OFF RIGHT AFTER. LAST THING IS MY POWER LOCKS WOULD GO CRAZY JUST LOCKING AND UNLOCKING EITHER WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF OR IN MOTION.

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, POWER STEERING FAILED AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. IT WAS WORSE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW. FOLLOWING THE ROAD WAS VERY DIFFICULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND TURNING INTO TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EMITTED A STRONG FUEL ODOR WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE PARKED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND FUEL ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 215,000.

SO, I OPEN THE SWITCH OF THE CAR AND WHEN I SEE WAS A BIG LEAK OF GAS ON THE FLOOR AND I DOUBLE CHECK AND IT WAS GASOLINE I SCARED AND DON'T MOVE THE CAR. I CHECK ON LINE AND THEY SAID THE COBALT 2009 HAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM 12V459000 FUEL SYSTEM AND I CALL THE DEALER AND SAID MY CAR NOT COVERED FOR RECALL. IS VERY DANGERUS CAN GET FIRE AND INVOLVED LIVES.

NOTICEABLE GAS SMELL FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND THEN NOTICED GAS DRIPPING FROM FUEL LINE JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL. LEAK WAS AT A CLAMP ATTACHED TO THE UNDERBODY. DRIPPING AT A RATE OF 20-30 DROPS A MINUTE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START. THE VEHICLE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR IN THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AND FUEL WAS NOTICED ON THE DRIVEWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOSEPH CHEVROLET (8733 COLERAIN AVE, CINCINNATI, OH 45251) FOR OTHER REPAIRS AND THE FAILURE BEGAN AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ONLY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

CAR STARTED TO HAVE A FUEL SMELL AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND EXITING THE CAR TO THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL. THE SMELL WOULD ONLY HAPPEN WHEN EXITING. AFTER LOOKING UNDER, I NOTICED A SMALL PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE GROUND, AND AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I FOUND THAT THE FUEL LINES HAVE A LEAK AROUND THE CLIP HOLDING THE FUEL LINES ONTO FRAME.

ELECTROMAGNETIC METER (EMF METER FOR BOTH WIRELESS & NON-WIRELESS FORMS OF ELECTRICAL RADIATION) USED TO MEASURE ELECTRICAL RADIATION LEVELS READ HIGH LEVELS OF RADIATION THAT THE METER FELT WAS OVER-THE-LIMIT ONLY WHEN POWERING THE VEHICLE ON BUY TURNING THE KEY (WITH A BATTERY & GAS IN THE VEHICLE). THE INCREASE OF ELECTRICAL POWER SEEMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF THE METER INCREASING. THERE ARE MANY WIRES THAT WERE UNDER THE SEAT THAT ARE SETTING OFF THE METER WHEN HELD WITHIN 12 INCHES OF IT (IN THE AREA THE DRIVER & PASSENGER WOULD SIT - ON THE SEAT). PERHAPS, A RECALL AND ELECTROMAGNETIC SHIELDING NEEDS TO BE ADDED IN THE AREA WHERE THE PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS SIT.

WHEN PARKED I KEEP SMELLING STRONG GAS SMELL. I STARTED TO WORRY AS IT GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER SO I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND GAS LEAKING DOWN THE BACK SIDE AND FRONT SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD THING AND I SEE WHERE THEY HAVE RECALLED MY SAME YEAR MODEL FROM OTHER STATES. I LIVE CLOSE TO FLA WHICH COULD BE REASON FOR MY FUEL SYSTEM TO FAIL FROM TEMPERATURE. I FEEL THAT IT ISN'T SAFE AT ALL AND I HAVE TO HAVE THIS CAR FOR WORK AND TRAVEL BUT CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED DUE TO GM NOT PRODUCING UP TO STANDARDS. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT AND HOPE THAT NOTHING CATCHES FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK STARTED TO LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CRISWELL CHEVROLET OF THURMONT, 111 FREDERICK ROAD, THURMONT, MD 21788) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE AND FUEL PUMP MODULE WERE RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

FUEL LINE ROTTED OUT NEAR MIDDLE OF CAR. IT WAS NOT LEAKING WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE, BUT SMELLED OF GAS WHEN I GOT TO WORK, AND WAS MISSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY IN-LAWS WHO HAVE A COBALT. ABSOLUTE JUNK, WITH NO THOUGHT OF BEING DESIGNED WITH CORROSION RESISTANCE IN MIND. UNDERSIDE OF CAR IS HOSED OFF EVERY OTHER WEEK DURING WINTER MONTHS, NOT OTHER VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED FUEL LINE FAILURES DESPITE INCREASED RELATIVE AGE.

WHILE I WAS STARTING THE CAR MY AIR BAG LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING ON AND OFF. WHILE TRAVELING ON CITY STREETS THE AIR BAGS WAS ALSO BLINKING ON AND OFF.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN PARKING CAR AND TURNING VEHICLE OFF PULLING KEY OUT GETS STUCK HAVE TO WIGGLE IT OUT GOT HIT ON DRIVERSIDE FRONT END NO AIRBAGS CAME OUT THE TIME I GOT HIT DRIVER SIDE. IT WAS BECAUSE I TRIED TO STOP AND VEHICLE KEPT ACCELERATING WOULDN'T STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT WAS AFRAID THE STEERING ABILITY MAY SEIZE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY ONE AND A HALF MONTHS AGO. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,621.

I STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN I WAS EXITING MY CAR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, MY GAS LINE WAS DRIPPING AT A VERY FAST PACE AND THERE WAS A SMALL PUDDLE OF GAS UNDER MY CAR. I ALSO DID A FEW GOOGLE SEARCHES, AND I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY 2009 CHEVY COBALT OWNER TO RUN INTO THIS PROBLEM. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN I WOULD GET HOME FROM WORK AND PARK MY CAR WHEN I STARTED NOTICING THE SMELL.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE AND JIGGLE THE KEY AND THE SHIFTER TO GET IT TO COME OUT. DROVE THE VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE APPROX 15 MILES, PARKED AND KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT. SPENT APPROX 15 MINUTES TRYING TO GET KEY OUT, FINALLY AFTER MUCH WIGGLING AND JIGGLING IT CAME OUT.

WHEN THE CAR IS AT A STABLE SPEED, TYPICALLY BETWEEN 30-45 MPH, AND THE RPMS AROUND 1500, THE CAR WITH JERK FORWARD AND THE RPMS WILL JUMP AND DROP REPEATEDLY UNTIL YOU EITHER ACCELERATE, OR LET OFF THE GAS. THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE THAT OCCURS DURING ALMOST ALL COMMUTES WITH THIS VEHICLE.

FUEL LINE LEAK DUE TO ABRASION BY BODY CLIP. LEAK LOCATED FORWARD OF LEFT REAR WHEEL WHERE FUEL LINE IS INSULATED FROM EXHAUST

STEERING COLUMN RATTLES.

MY VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN PARK, IT WOULDN'T START AND WOULD STILL ROLL WHEN IN PARK. WE HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CABLE CLIP OR INSTALLED IMPROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT A RECALL AND SAID IT WAS CLOSED DUE TO A DEALERS INSPECTION IN 2012. I HAVE SINCE TAKEN IT IN TO GET FIXED AND IT APPEARS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE RECALLED PART. GM STILL REFUSES TO COVER IT. I AM ENCLOSING BELOW MY EMAIL TO GM BELOW WITH ATTACHMENTS AND LINKS. ANY HELP WITH THIS IS APPRECIATED [XXX] TO:[email protected] CC:[XXX] MAR 16 AT 10:54 AM THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN ON MARCH 14TH TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND OFFER THE INVOICE OF WHAT THEY FOUND AND FIXED FOR YOUR REVIEW. THEY SAID THE CLIP WAS FULLY ENGAGED BUT THE CABLE WAS STILL SLIPPING. I ASKED THAT THEY GIVE ME THE OLD PART BACK FOR MY INSPECTION. I ALSO OFFER A VIDEO OF MY REVIEW OF THE CABLE, PLEASE SEE LINK BELOW. THE THIRD ATTACHMENT IS THE 1ST PAGE OF THE INVOICE MY RECEIPT OF PAYMENT. HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/1RRTBJHVTPIPNH3LZTHGBUIWJ-AUX190O/VIEW?USP=DRIVESDK I AM ASKING THAT GM REIMBURSE ME THE COST OF 210.24 DOLLARS FOR THE TRANSMISSION CABLE REPLACEMENT. IT IS APPARENT FROM THE INSPECTION FROM THE TECHNICIAN AND MY OWN INSPECTION THAT THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE CLIP NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. DON'T KNOW WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN 2012 DURING THEIR INSPECTION, BUT REGARDLESS IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE GM DESIGN/PART AND SHOULD BE COVER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT EXITED AND NOTICED A VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL. WEBB CHEVROLET PLAINFIELD (16140 S LINCOLN HWY, PLAINFIELD, IL 60586) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE & DRIVING CAR AND MAKING TURNS ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING STICKS AND MAKES IT HARD TO TURN - SOMETIMES HAVING TO USE BOTH HANDS TO CONTROL THE TURN. THE STICKING IS NOT NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

FUEL LEAK FROM FUEL LINES NEAR DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. LEAKS WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED, BUT STOPS AFTER A FEW HOURS OF BEING SHUT OFF.

FUEL LEAK IN LINES - LINES RUST THROUGH - LINES LOCATED BETWEEN REAR WHEEL AND DRIVERS SEAT. I SEE MANY OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. CLEARLY A FUEL LEAK WHICH CAN LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. MANY STAINS LEFT ON THE DRIVEWAY AND IN THE GARAGE. DEALER WANTS $1200 TO REPAIR. THIS IS ONLY A 10 YEAR OLD CAR. I HAVE MANY CARS WHERE THE FUEL LINES HAVE NOT RUSTED. NO COLLISION DAMAGE. THIS APPEARED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OR CAUSE

FUEL LEAK ON FUEL LINES FROM TANK TO ENGINE

MY DAUGHTER IS DRIVING A CAR WITH A FUEL LEAK THAT IS HAS A RECALL IN SOME STATES FOR THE PROBLEM BUT NOT IN MINE. RECALL # 090226 , HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, PLEASE HELP! I THINK I HAVE TO WORK AS HARD FOR MY MONEY AS OTHER STATES, AND I AM CERTAIN MY CAR COST AS MUCH TO PURCHASE AS IN OTHER STATES. HER CAR HAS FUEL DRIPPING BETWEEN THE DRIVERS DOOR AND LEFT REAR WHEEL. APPEARS TO BE STARTING AROUND TOP OF TANK LOCATION.

THE KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF - IT IS STUCK IN EITHER THE "ACCESSORY" OR "ON" POSITION. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY BUT CANNOT BE MOVED TO BE FIXED.

MY SON AND I WENT TO A LOCAL FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TO PICK UP DINNER, WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED THE NEXT DAY IT SEEMS TO BE FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,458.

FUEL LINE RUPTURE CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK. MECHANIC STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. COST FOR REPAIR $455.53 PLUS CAR RENTAL $ 64.97

THE CAR HAS A GAS LEAK IN THE LINE. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 CHEVY COBALT THAT HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL LINE. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR OF THIS AGE

THE STEERING LOST POWER ASSISTANCE AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN THE CITY. THIS PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AND AFFECTS STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS
