CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Cobalt inherited most of the problems from the 2005 and 2006 model years, but toned them down (a bit). Sure, the power steering still fails and the car has a chance of going up in flames due to a cracked fuel tank, but it’s not as prevalent as the older models. At least not yet.
In 2012, the Cobalt was recalled for gas tank fires but only for owners in certain states.
Then in 2014, the 2007 Cobalt was part of a massive GM recall due to a defective ignition switch that could cause the airbags to not deploy during an accident. The problem led to 13 deaths, government investigations and multiple class-action lawsuits.

2007 Chevy Cobalt. There is an intense smell of fuel inside car and puddles of fuel under car by passenger door. Fuel line ruptured and it is too dangerous to drive. Why is this not on the recall list? I have read hundreds of stories just like mine online. The car could easily catch fire at any moment, and I'm definitely not driving it any longer.
