This is the 2nd complaint I have filed for my 2006 chevy Cobalt. The first involved the steering problem,which was eventually recalled, but not until I spent several hundred dollars, for which I still have not been reimbursed. On July 21, 2011, which hit over 100 degrees inn central pennsylvania, I began smelling gasoline after driving the vehicle. I thought it might be related to the fact that we were under an ozone action alert, but when the problem did not resolve and became worse I contacted the dealer. Like many other chevy Cobalt, Saturn ion, and pontiac GS owners, I was told that the odor was coming from a leaky fuel pump. Despite my attempts to get the problem resolved, I was told that my vehicle was not among the limited VIN numbers that qualified under a voluntary recall campaign #09v419000 nor did I live in one of the states that qualified. My dealer told me that I might have a case to file for special coverage adjustment #09275a. Which did include my VIN,, but my mileage was too high. As a result, I had to spend another $496. 27 to take care of the problem myself, and that was with a courtesy discount from the dealer. While I fully understand the concept that even good parts will eventually wear out, it is still not unreasonable to expect that a known failure of a particular part should be taken care of. If other drivers receive the benefits of having a faulty part replaced, all drivers who experience the problem should regardless of where they live and what the vehicle's mileage is when the failure occurs. This is especially true when that problem can result in injury or death such as a fire that might occur from leaking fuel or having steering go out while driving. My dealer would have been perfectly fine with allowing me to drive off the service lot without the fix if I wasn't able to come up with the money. I have been a chevy owner for over twenty years, but this may be my last chevy purchase.

I received a safety recall letter for my vehicle stating that the fuel pump can fail. It started to fail so I took my car to the dealer but they said they could not fix it because the car had a salvaged title.

My car is putting out fuel exhast fumes in my vents. Took it to the dealership and they only fixed the fuel pump, but its the exhast system letting out c02 gases.

My husband and I had been smelling gas coming from our car for a while. We took it in to get the brakes replaced and they told us that we had a fuel pump leak and would not work on the brakes until it was fixed. The cost to fix is well beyond our means and now we are going through a half a tank of gas every 3 days for less than 30miles of travel. There was a recall on the fuel pump for this problem in several other states, not including the one we live in. We have a very young child and one on the way and do not want anything bad to happen.
