1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2020

Fuel starting leaking by the left rear wheel. The fuel is dripping from the fuel and vapor recovery lines around the area where there is a holding clip. Looks like it could be spraying out above that area possibly where the fuel pump is located. I noticed the smell of fuel first while driving. Once the vehicle stopped I found gas leaking as described above.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2020

Fuel puddle under car- shop had to replace fuel pump as it was leaking on top of the tank. Gm refuses to pay for the repair as they say only 2006 thru 2009 chevy Cobalt's have this problem. This is a 2010 (last year made) this is very dangerous senario - does someone have to die before a recall is mandated.

3 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2020

There is a severe fuel leak on the fuel line near the back of the car on the driver side. It appears to be a heavily corroded area. While the vehicle is running it is a steady leak as the fuel pump is running. When the engine is off the leak eventually stops once all of the fuel in the line has drained out.

7 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2018

I noticed a gas leak under my rear passenger seat and can smell gas outside of the car. Took it to a garage and they said the fuel lines are leaking where they connect to the fuel pump, but they have seen many Cobalts come in with this issue and it's covered under recall. I checked with gm, my VIN has no recall for that issue. There is no rust under the car so this is definitely a manufacturing issue.

8 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2017

While driving in a suburban area , smelled strong gasoline odor coming from under the car. At destination, others noticed as well. Immediately parked car, looked up the issue and realized the fuel line/fuel pump/gas leak is a Cobalt problem, yet not a recall. We got it serviced, but out of our pocket expense.

9 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2017

Air bag service light came on the fuel pump gasket leaks and the steering wheel plastic bearing is broken inside the steering wheel these are all recalls that these cars have but when I do a recall VIN check nothing comes up but I know the issues it has has to do with recalls.

10 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2016

After smelling a strong smell of gasoline while driving on the interstate, I pulled my car over and noticed a huge puddle of gasoline on the ground and still steadily pouring out. I immediately drove it home and parked it and took photos and a video of the defect. I had lost over half a tank of gasoline in just 30 minutes. With this fuel pump leak being near the exhaust, a high probability of explosion can happen and has happened to other models of this vehicle, different model year. I have seen that the Chevrolet Cobalt 2007-2009 have been recalled due to fuel pump leaks, but the 2010 has suspiciously been left off of the recall.

12 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 03/27/2014

My car would not start so I had it towed to the dealership where I was told the fuel pump needed to be replaced. I later received a call advising that the value around the fuel pump had melted and they did not know why except something must have gotten to hot under the engine. Problem is this is connected with the fuel pump. I call in report and was told eventually engineers would investigate but there was there may or may not be a recall issued. If part melting under the hood that are connected with fuel pump doesn't demand a recall what will another death or fire. Come on gm, get real. Angry customer.
