FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG GASOLINE VAPORS WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER STOPPING ON A 2009 COBALT, DRIVERS'S SIDE OF THE CAR. TOOK THE COBALT TO EMPIRE CHEVROLET IN HUNTINGTON, NY. COMPLAINED AND SHOWED THEM THE NTSB COBALT FUEL LINE INVESTIGATION SHEET, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX THE COBALT UNDER A RECALL, NTSB INVESTIGATION OR SERVICE BULLETIN. TOOK THE COBALT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE WHO REPLACED TWO LEAKING FUEL LINES FOR $450.00, BILL INCLUDED AS AN ATTACHMENT. THEY SAID THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THESE OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS A TOTAL JOKE ON GM'S PART AND COMPLETE FOOT DRAGGING BY THE NTSB FOR NOT MOVING SOONER. INVESTIGATING? - TRY DOING A WEB SEARCH.
