Since September 2011 I have noticed a significant decrease in fuel efficiency. The fuel efficiency has gotten worse since then. I now get about 12 miles to the gallon. Tires are checked and I use fuel with no ethanol. I have seen recalls on the 2007 models for the fuel pump and why not for the 2008 model? this has become a financial nightmare. I bought the car in Louisiana where I live.

Cobalt 4-cyl

  • 109,000 miles
I noticed my car had a hard time starting on Thursday, May 3, 2012. Then on Friday, May 4, 2012, I began to smell gas heavily in my car. By Saturday, my car had a hard time starting. After I turned on the car, I received again a heavy odor of gas inside my car. I did not drive my car the entire week of May 7 - 11, 2012. I have a mechanic check my car and found gas leaking onto my gas tank. I then searched the internet and found that similar descriptions of faultiness had been reported for 2007 models and I came upon this website again with similar complaints about 2008 models.
