Began smelling a faint gas odor in Jan. 2012 while sitting at stoplight coming from my 2008 chevy Cobalt. Odor has since grown stronger and my mpg's have gone from around 30-32 mpg to 26 mpg on last full tank of gas. This seems to be a common problem with 2008 Cobalts. There was a recall I have come across in my research for years 2005-2007 and problem seems to be of similar nature, but only in certain states, my car was purchased in texas but currently resides in oklahoma and I believe it was kept in another state by previous owner. I feel as though this should be looked into by gm and corrected on their side of the deal.

I started smelling fuel in the passenger compartment and it has gotten worse. People complain about the fuel odor when they walk by. I have recently been informed by my mechanic that it is fuel leakage at the top of the tank. I have found the recall issues for the 2006 and 2007 Cobalts and I believe the 2008 should be included. My car is currently registered in TX, but it is a CA vehicle. Overwhelming odor inside and outside of vehicle. Extreme fire danger!!!!!.

The vehicle was brought in for a recall to replace fuel module for fuel odor? well the module was replaced with the new module kit(3. 107). Before this replacement we had no problems with the car and fuel odor/fuel gauge. Now that we had the recall down there is a strong fuel odor and the gas gauge will read full at times and when the car is shut off and turned back on after driver . 7 miles the gauge will say its only got a 1/4 tank of gas and we switch the car on and off a few times and it will finally go back to full but after driving it about 3 miles the gauge will go back down to a 1/4 tank and we have to stop and cycle the key on and off at least 4 times for it to give a somewhat accurate reading but after driving a couple miles the gauge will go to empty. Even when the tank is empty the gauge will say there's a half tank of gas, I have even got stuck multiple times thinking there was gas in the car. Anyway point being that this module kit 3. 107 gave me all the symptoms of why it was being recalled and messed up my fuel gauge and the dealer refuses to fix it as warranty so because the fuel gauge isn't part of the recall. So I further investigated on multiple online forums and it seems everyone that gets this recall down has had major problems with the fuel gauge and a fuel odor they didn't have before the recall. So im hoping the NHTSA will further investigate this issue, this could be a huge safety issue running out of gas in the middle of the road/highway/dark long dirt roads with no gas stations for miles. So please read this and check your Cobalt by cycling the ignition and you will see after module replacement the fuel gauge is erratic/gas odor is now present. Chevys cheap recall is just not cutting it and they need to look into recalling the fuel level sensor with the module cause this problem seems like it happens to every Cobalt I have seen with this recall.

Was driving my car and when I got home I smelled gas when I got out. So I got up underneath and smelled it even stronger. I took my car in to get an oil change and had them look for a gas leak. There is a gas leak coming from somewhere around my gas tank. This smell has gotten worse. This is dangerous to be driving around my car with such a problem. There have been other people reporting the issue as well. This is a safety issue that gm needs to recall everywhere not just certain states. I am a single mother and my son doesn't need to be smelling that every day when he's in my car. I do not have the money for repairs but this is something that I did not do. The car has a clean title and I have never hit anything hard to cause a leak from the top of the gas tank.

Fuel leak around the top of fuel tank. Strong fuel smell in garage could have caught house on fire if ignited by a spark or other source.

I have a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt ss 2. 0l that just recently started to leak gas really bad about a month ago. There is already a recall for 69,139 Cobalts for this issue and the NHTSA campaign id number is 09v419000. My car is currently registered in arizona and was previously registered in nevada, the summary of the recall clearly states that "general motors is recalling certain model year 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn ion vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of arizona and nevada". My car is an 2006 model and was registered in both of those states, so I feel like there was a mistake that was made on gm's part while doing research on this recall and there are still vehicles out there like mine that have this issue. This has been a big inconvenience for me as I cannot even start my car without gasoline pouring out from the gas tank area and fear of my car igniting on fire. I just contacted general motors today and they told me that there was nothing that they could do to help so I'm hoping someone will read this here and get word out so that no one is seriously injured or killed. I appreciate your time!!.

Strong smell of gas when im driving the car in and outside. The car has trouble starting,I had it checked and was told there was a fuel leak. Called gm and was told even though their was a special coverage for my state they would not fix the leak. This is a dangerous leak due to a faulty plastic part. I hope my family doesnt die from inhaling fumes or blow up. Kinda makes you think its another pinto exploding gas tank deal. I guess they wont do anything until someone dies. I have had many problems with this car starting a week after I bought it new. Knocking when the engine starts,using oil now,airbags not working ,small electrical things keep going wrong. When I take it in im told they cant reproduce the problems.
