After driving about 4 miles and then back 4 miles parked car. Noticed gasoline dripping in the driveway. Called service garage and they said get a tow truck,dangerous to even try and start car, one spark and it could explode. Found problem with fuel tank and fuel pump. Had only had car a few months. Garage replaced fuel pump and replacement was defective also. Replaced it and put on a new fuel tank. Sept got a gm recall #12190 notice. To take it in for free repair to a dealer around 40 miles from my house. Had already paid almost $800 to garage when I had the car repaired. Now I have a recall notice 12045 but have not been able to find out what it is for. Called recommended garage to see if they had part to repair (called twice never heard back from them). Still have not been able to find out what the problem. I also found out that the original recall notice about the gas pump had gone out I believe a couple of years earlier and this was the second round with the same problem. Go to a site on line there is one that Cobalt dealers have reported the problems they have had, that is how I found out about the prior recallã¢â¦I think they should have to tell you what it is they are recalling the car for. In the first gas problem we were lucky not to have had the car explode. Had I been driving on the interstate it would have made a big noise.

Notice very bad gas smell after on the way back from the store heading home engine was heisting really bad. Parked the car in the parking lot turned off the car ASAP. Looked under neath the car and saw fuel leaking I jacked the car up with the jack. I saw fuel coming out from on top of the gas tank. I check out the fuel lines and notice one was cracked. Having the vehicle towed tomorrow 2/27/12 to the chevy dealership. Has less then 80,000 miles on it.
