Vehicle leaks gasoline. A lot of it. Took the car to the dealer and had the fuel pump module replaced (supposedly) as part of a recall. Took the car in a second time because it was leaking a significant amount of gasoline, particularly after putting gas in the gar. According to the dealer, it is a crack in the gas tank, and the problem is not the fuel pump module. The gas tank crack could very well be related to the recalled faulty fuel pump. The dealer might be using the gas tank to explain away the fuel pump issue. They have kept my car for a couple days now and want to charge me a diagnostic fee for telling me that it is an issue not related to the recall. This is very dangerous. The leaking fuel is enough to set the car on fire. The dealer could be exploiting customers (for profit) that come in in for the fuel pump recall, although I haven't observed any clear evidence of this.
Fuel tank cracked,damaged, and tampered with, stated from service department at dealer. I bought it brand new and never had any fuel system work done. Leaks large amounts of fuel on the ground and in passenger cabin, causing a odor of fuel inside the car.
Strong gas smell inside car and under car can see a small amount of fuel coming out of the top of the gas tank.
Fuel started leaking from above the plastic gas tank. Took the vehicle to my local car repair garage. It turned out to be a cracked supply line to the fuel pump module. It appeared to be a fatigue failure. A new gm pump assy was installed at a cost of $600. The car was purchased in oklahoma and still has oklahoma plates. Upon searching for a recall for this problem, I located the recall but gm cut it off at 19000 vehicles before mine. They must have assumed they fixed the problem, but apparently the fix did not work according to the number of complaints that are still coming in. I am glad I did not park the car in my attached garage or there might have been a fire started from the strong fumes created by the large amount of fuel being forced out of the supply tube which is under pressure from the pump. Gm will not cover this incident because the VIN # lies outside of the vehicles covered in their recall. ## VIN passed ## Chevrolet Cobalt 2007 ##.
