I reported this back in 2016-1-28 ref. No. 10822806 gas line corrosion problem,do to muffler right under gas lines and gas line up in pocket where heat and moisture cause early corrosion(poor design). Gm had go me to a dealership and confirm corrosion problem (wanted 750 dollars to fix). Talk to rep. For gm , mentioned I felt poor design and protental safety =may cause fire. Did have fix at garage for 200dollars. Now corroding again after 2yrs. This confirms gas lines in pocket up above muffer traps heat and mositure causeing corrosion. Please advise company does not want to listen to me and I can't afford to replace gas line every 2yrs. . Feel strongly about poor design and gm should be responsible. Fire hazard this is same car that had key problem,steering problem,gas line problem at tank and gas pump, yet they don't want to listen,help help help!!!!.

4 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 01/05/2012

Purchased my chevy Cobalt about 7 months ago with about 45000 miles. Just rolled over 50000 miles when strong gas fumes in & out of car. Had authorized mechanic. Check it, he said he has seen this problem several times with this make & model. Said it is the fuel sending/return lines cracked on top of fuel pump. Researched & found this problem has been known by manufacturer back to 2005. This is a very dangerous situation, but Chevrolet CO. Will not recall. What will it take for recall to be issued, a car to blow up or person to be burned to death? I'm sure law suits will follow.

6 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2011

Notice a strong fuel smell when the vehicle is topped off with fuel. Fuel mileage is degraded and fuel smell goes away when tank is below 1/2. Class 1 leak appears to come from where fuel filler hose attaches to the tank. It may also be coming from the fuel pump and dripping onto that area.
