The interior of the vehicle had a strong fuel odor. The Chevrolet dealership diagnosed a leaking fuel module and had to replace the gas tank, fuel module, and fuel pipe. While this defect is known to occur on some 2007 Cobalts, gm states that my VIN number is not part of the current known defect. The leaking fuel module recall should be expanded to include all 2007 Cobalts.

Started smelling gas. Checked fuel system. Found gas leaking from top of fuel cell where plastic lines enter tank. Googled problem. . . . Found many, many reports of same problem.

Was informed my vehicle was not elligible for the recall because I was not in either of those states. My vehicle has 77,740 miles on it.

It's my mother inlaws car she started smelling strong gas smell inside the car and outside the car and gas leaks on the ground while it is running I looked to see where it was coming from because I am a mechanic it's leaking from the plastic fuel lines on top the gas tank they're cracked and leaking gas the fummes are strong I aslo notice online that they had a recall on the fuel lines cracking on 2006 and 2007 Cobalt but I guess it doesn't cover virginia I don't know but it seems like we are not the only ones with this problem but I would for it to get fixed its a fire hazzard if the other states covered the recall for free then they should cover the other states complaints because it did get very hot and dry this summer and that's what they say causes them to crack something should be done about this problem it's not safe for the enviroment having 2007 vehicles leaking gas due to manufactures parts it's not our fault the lines crack it's the manufactures who built or made the cheap plastic lines my kids and her other grand kids ride in this vehicle it's her only means of transportation she bought hopeing it would be reliable thanks for listening.

In late March, I started noticing the smell of gas when I would get in the car to go somewhere. I just thought this was from gas being spilled when removing the gas nozzle after filling the tank. On April 3rd, the smell got extremely strong and I had to keep the windows down in order to drive the car. On Monday April 5th, I took the car to my mechanic to investigate the source of the smell. The mechanic called me back around mid-day to inform me the fuel pump line had broken off at the top the fuel pump assembly, where the piece should not have broken. The mechanic also informed me, there was gas all over the place once the tank was removed. He quoted: "it's a wonder the car did not explode" I have since contacted gm via the 800 #, being there is a recall for this problem. I've read the recall information, it is based on state located in hot climates area for now, but this problem is happening in other states not listed in the letter.
