- Milwaukee, WI, USA

My fuel line began leaking profusely. I am losing quite a bit of gasoline and I am concerned that it may catch fire and kill me. I see that certain 2007 Cobalts were recalled over this issue and am wondering why mine wasn't. the leak occurs continuously while the vehicle is running, whether I am stationary or in motion.

My Cobalt is not listed in the fuel pump-fuel line recalls that numerous others are listed in, yet, I've had the same problem! also, the fuel lines are rusting through at the metal clamp sites and leaking gas too! I believe this recall needs extended to cover all vehicles developing this problem!

Gas smell is awful an gas leaking on the passenger side at the tank! needs to be recalled asap! many having the same problem

- Eufaula, AL, USA

A fuel leak developed and fuel is dripping along the fuel lines under the driver's side of the vehicle.

- Westland, MI, USA

Oem fuel lines are extremely prone to rusting and rotting out. Have done research online and this is a very fast problem that had a recall done on previous years (recall/warrenty extension reference #12191) during normal driving conditions the fuel line can vibrate and rust through causing a fuel line leak/rupture.

Strong gas smell coming from underneath the vehicle and possible loss of fuel

- Los Lunas, NM, USA

The car smells like gas. When trying to start it H3sitates. Once started the smell of gasoline is overwhelming. I looked under the car and small drops of gas dropped. Turned off car and it stopped. When I went to drive we didn't see or smell anything. Then two days later the car was pouring out the gas from what looked like a clamp. The problem is this is a major issue! when we googled the issue hundreds of people have same issue!! one recall said cars with this leakage that was registered in certain states were covered yet our VIN wasn't. not only a product issue but a design issue. Please lookl into this is dangerous. To many people can not afford $1000 to fix and are trying fix it in their own. This will cost some people their lives or someone else's. companies should not determine which vins they recall the make year and model.should be fixed 100 percent. NHTSA should regulate this. Not com0anies!!

- Avondale, AZ, USA

Sudden strong smell of gasoline coming from the engine into the inside of the vehicle. Car then acts like it's going to stall and has no power. No visual leaks of gasoline anywhere

- Stockdale, PA, USA

Just about two months after purchasing car (date is a guess at the moment) I began to smell gas. I then saw that it is leaking gas when car is running (in motion or idle). Took it to a mechanic and he patched it up as that was all I could afford. Now it is leaking same way again so I went online and saw that many and I mean many Cobalts are all doing the same thing. I saw a recall #12191 and #12191B on them online but here it says my VIN doesn't have a recall. This is a hazard and unsafe to drive. There is no car warranty to cover this.
