My 2007 chevy Cobalt has a leak in the gas tank, which is coming from the fuel pump. There was a recall on 2006 and 2007 but since my car was purchased in florida 2007 I am not covered. This is a hazardous car and can catch on fire. When the car is on a flat surface it leaks like a faucet. When in a angle it does not leak because of the position of the fuel pump. I call gm and they said since my car was purchased in florida 2007 I was not covered. That is not my fault. They also stated since I had high miles they probably could not do nothing anyway. I am still paying for this car, and this repair is going to be expensive. They should be held liable for their defected cars they send out. They are lucky that when me and my daughter was driving in it did not blow up, this would have cost them more money than just to repair it. For this very reason, that is why americans buy foreign cars due to reliability. Its sad. I am a loyal customer to gm and I only buy their cars, but if I am considered a loyal customer, then where is their loyalty to me. Signed very disappointed gm loyal customer!.
