Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt - part 1

While at a stop I smell fuel really strong and only when there is pressure it leaks on top of gas tank where the return line cracked running down the back of the tank and onto the exhaust I see there is a recall for many other Cobalt's but not my VIN with this same issue! I am very disappointed this is a safety hazard what if somebody was to smoke by the car or they threw a cigarette out of there car and I caught on fire ????.

The connection between the filler tube and gas tank is leaking, likely because the gas tank is cracked. The car smells like gasoline, even after sitting overnight.

I already know about the airbag and ignition recalls but, now, I have a fuel leak with fuel dripping down the lines from the tank on to the ground at a position on the drivers side under the rear passenger door and seat.

Fuel gauges go crazy, the gas acceleration and speed gauges sometimes do not work and if the do they go up and down. All the lights I my dashboard light up as well. This usually happens when you turn on the car but it is not constant. It will sometimes happen two weeks in a row, but sometimes after two weeks. The gas tank is also leaking and the left speaker goes out sometimes. Once in a while my keys will get stuck in the ignition.

Fuel leak from fuel tank area recall 12v459000 gm recall bulletin no 09226a.

Strong fuel smell in and around the car for the last month while parked in my driveway, today I see puddle of fuel in front of left rear tire, I crawled under the car and see gas running down the gas line, removed the heat shield around the gas line to see gas lines have excessive rust behind the heat shield and gas running out all over the place. It's not from the gas tank like the recall, it's from the gas line itself leaking and is a very dangerous to anyone walking by smoking or children playing that may cause a spark yet I can't find a recall but see lots of complaints about this while looking for recalls. Something needs to be done about this before someone is killed by this. I put a pan under the leak but it is still open gas and a lot of fumes that could ignite. I'm very concerned about this dangerous situation that needs to be addressed before bodily harm is done. Thank you.

Have a fuel leak where the line meets the fuel tank. There has been a recall on the same model for the same problem, but only for models in certain states. Seems to be a problem with many more individuals too. Take care of your mistakes gm! you thieves!.

Strong odor of gasoline. Looks like small leak from top of tank. Recall issued on car long before I purchased one but the problem still exists. Whether driving or sitting still it's very strong.

The fuel lines were leaking. Apparently there are two fuel lines wrapped in an encasement with a vent tube. The car only had about 78,000 miles on it when this hazard was discovered. It is only a 2007, but the fuel lines are not made well at all. Because they are in that encasement with the vent they rust quickly. It caused a very strong odor, and gas was visibly leaking out of the back end of the car. The driver had headaches every time after driving the car. The car was barely starting as well. After putting the key in and turning it, it would take awhile before the car actually started. The driver took it into the chevy dealership where it was purchased thinking it was the cracked fuel tank inlet control valve special service problem that had just been issued in August 2015. That would have meant it would be fixed with no charge to the driver. The dealership said it was neither related to that issue nor to another special service issue dealing with leaking gas that the driver had already gotten fixed in April 2014. The dealership said it was instead related to the fuel lines rusting. The dealership said it was very dangerous to be driving and that it would cost at least $659. 38 to get it fixed. The driver eventually got it fixed somewhere else for $250 less. In the meantime the driver continued to get headaches and feel very unsafe driving the car. The driver knows of other chevy Cobalts with this exact same issue. It should be looked into further before a serious incident occurs. Chevrolet should take responsibility for this immediately and pay for it to be fixed on these new 2007 cars!.

Crack on my fuel tank crack causing gasoline to leak out and fumes to enter my car.

My 2007 Cobalt first showed signs of leaking fuel in the summer of 2014. I took it to get inspected and was told I needed my fuel line purge solenoid replaced. I did so, but the leaking did not stop. Then, on 30 December 2014 I got it reinspected and was told there is actually a crack in my fuel tank and that the tank needs to be replaced. There is currently a recall for my make and model of vehicle, but it is only for vehicles manufactured in certain states. I looked up my VIN and my vehicle was not made in any of the states listed, but the conditions match the recall details exactly. I believe my tank should be replaced as part of the existing recall.

The car had the fuel moduel and tank replaced inoctober 2012 they said it was not a recall and covered it under my powertrain 3 days before it went out. I just got the car back from the ignition recall and the air bag on passenger doesnt work they claim its something different, the gas is draining from the car again, it smells like gas. I am assuming that the fuel line again has broke, and the fuel moduel and tank will be soon behind it. Last time they told me the car had the potential to blow up. The door electrical switches go on and off by themselves. The turn signals work when they want to too.
