FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
INITIALLY SMELLED FUEL WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING (BUT NOT WHEN TURNED OFF); A FEW DAYS LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO SHOP. REPAIR SHOP INFORMS ME THAT THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTED, LEAKING, AND NEED TO BE REPLACED -- A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! I DID SOME SEARCHES ONLINE AND FOUND THAT NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 COBALTS ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE WITH RUSTED, LEAKING FUEL LINES. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM, ISSUE A RECALL, AND REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD TO UNDERGO THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR.

SUSPENSION
WHEN BRAKING, THE TIRES BOUNCE CAUSING A SERIOUS VIBRATION WHICH MAKES STEERING DIFFICULT WHEN BRAKING HARD. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR LOSE SUSPENSION PARTS BUT I'M GUESSING IT'S EITHER BAD STRUTS OR CONTROL ARMS? I'M REPLACING THE PARTS TODAY AS A GUESS AND HOPE IT FIXES THE ISSUE. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND SHE'S AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A SEVERE FUEL LEAK DETECTED ON THE GROUND AFTER ENCOUNTERING GASOLINE VAPOR SMELL. THIS WAS DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE FUEL LINES. I WAS NOTIFIED BY SERVICING DEALER THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL DELIVERY LINES WOULD NEED REPLACED AT A COST OF $700 PLUS. I BELIEVE THESE LINES ARE LOCATED CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST / EMISSIONS SYSTEMS.
