FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO WEEKS, WE HAVE SMELLED GASOLINE AROUND THE CAR AFTER DRIVING. THE ODOR SEEMED TO BE AROUND THE TANK FILL. I FREQUENTLY RE-TIGHTENED THE CAP, THINKING PERHAPS IT WAS LOOSE AND THE FUMES WERE COMING FROM THERE, OR PERHAPS SOME GAS HAD SPILLED IN AN ODD PLACE WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED. THEN, LAST WEEKEND DURING A PARTICULARLY HOT WEEK HERE IN OHIO, I OPENED MY TRUNK TO PUT THE GROCERIES IN AND THE TRUNK WAS REEKING WITH GAS FUMES! I AM VERY GLAD THERE WAS NOT AN IGNITION SOURCE CLOSE BY, AS I AM NOT SURE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! THIS STRONG SMELL PERSISTED THE REST OF THE HOT WEEKEND. AT HOME, I LEFT THE TRUNK OPEN TO AIR IT OUT. THE WEATHER COOLED LAST MONDAY AND I HAVE NOT SMELLED GAS SINCE. ALSO THE GAS TANK IS NOW ONLY HALF FULL. MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE CAR TODAY AND FEELS THAT THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY THE FUEL PUMP, AS THERE IS EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE. THE CAR IS STILL RUNNING AND UNTIL THE LEAK BECOMES MORE PROBLEMATIC WE WILL MOST LIKELY HOLD OFF ON REPAIRS AS THEY WILL BE EXPENSIVE. STILL, WITH THE WEATHER GETTING HOT AGAIN, I AM NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE MAKES ME ILL AND UNCOMFORTABLE. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS SAFE TO SMELL GASOLINE THAT STRONGLY. I CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND HAD MY VIN NUMBER CHECKED TO BE SURE IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS. IT WAS NOT. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SLOWED TO EXIT HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT FUNNY AND HARD AND BECAME SCARRY. I THEN LEFT STOP SIGN AND MY CAR WAS SHIFTING HARD AND FELT LIKE IT WAS JUMPING ERATICLY. I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE AT TIMES AND IT CONTINUED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR THEN I PULLED INTO GET SOMETHING TO EAT AND CALL MY HUSBAND. AFTER EATING AND TELLING MY HUSBAND, I GOT BACK INTO CAR AND IT WAS FINE. NO MORE LIGHTS ON THE DASH SAYING SERVICE ENGINE SOON OR TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. IT WAS FINE FOR THE REST OF MY WAY HOME. I WENT TO WORK NEXT DAY AND ALL WAS BACK AGAIN, LIGHT FOR SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON AND SO DID TRACTION CONTROL. THEN MY CAR STARTED JERKING AGAIN AND SHIFTING REAL HARD. NOW MY CAR DOES THIS AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THEY SAID. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARING SHOWING UP ON CODE BUT NOTHING ELSE. HAD THE BEARING FIXED AND IT STILL DOES IT. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT WASN'T ALL IT WAS CAUSE IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANS SLIPPING AND GRABBING. TO THIS DAY IT STILL DOES IT WITH EVERYONE TELLING ME THEY CAN'T FIND PROBLEM. *TT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GETTING GASOLINE SMELL, UPON INVESTIGATING FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP RETURN FITTING WAS LEAKING, THIS IS A PLASTIC FITTING ON THE PUMP HEAD AND CANNOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT REPLACING THE COMPLETE FUEL PUMP. CONTACTED DEALER (3) DIFFERENT DEALERS IN MY AREA AND WAS TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME OF THE PUMPS MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED, HOWEVER THEY MIGHT CONSIDER A COST OFFSET BUT I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND IT WOULD BE A CHARGEABLE ESTIMATE.. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF I DID NOT HAPPEN TO SMELL THE FUEL IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC EVENT. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE AND GRANDSON WERE IN THE CAR WHEN POWER STEERING CAME ON THE DASH. IT CAUGHT HER ATTENTION BUT DIDN'T KNOW REALLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED TILL SHE TRIED TO TURN AND ALMOST WENT IN THE DITCH. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND 700.00 PAID TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CONTINUE TO RECUR. IT COMES AND GOES AND IF IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WHEN WE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. ALL THEY SAY IS IT IS IN THE WIRING ISSUE AND THINK WE SHOULD BUY SOMETHING ELSE. I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE PROBLEMS TILL IT OCCURRED TO US. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE LIKE THE 2006 COBALT BUT THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HEARD THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE POWERSTEERING OR WIRING TO THE ELECTRIC ASSIST TO THE POWER STEERING. I AM TOLD THEY HAD A FIX BACK IN 2010 ARE WE STILL QUALIFIED TO HAVE OUR CAR FIXED UNDER THAT RECALL. MY SON IS GOING IN THE ARMY IN A COUPLE WEEKS WE WANTED TO LET HIM HAVE THIS CAR AFTER HE GETS STATIONED SOMEWHERE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE IT TO HIM WHEN WE ARE NOT TRUSTING ITS SAFETY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HAD BEEN NOTICING A GAS SMELL FOR AWHILE BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL I WAS FAILED FOR INSPECTION THE OTHER DAY FOR A FUEL LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED 100 DOLLARS TO FIX IT AND ANYWHERE FROM 200 TO 1000 TO FIX IT THEY SAID SO I HAD MY MECHANIC FRIEND HELP ME DROP THE GAS TANK WHEN WE DISCOVERED GAS ON THE FUEL TANK TO FIND THAT ITS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NUMEROUS COBALT OWNERS ARE HAVING AND ACTUALLY HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR ONLY CERTAIN VIN'S IN CERTAIN STATES. I DON'T SEE WHY THE RECALL WOULD NOT BE TO ALL CARS THAT GM PUT THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP IN. NOT ONLY IS THIS A VERY COSTLY FIX DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF LABOR INVOLVED IN GETTING TO THE FUEL PUMP BUT EVEN MORE SO IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY RISK AND I DON'T THINK THAT GM SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HONOR A RECALL OF SORTS TO ALL CARS THEY PUT THIS FAULTY FUEL PUMP IN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR ON FEB.19,2012. WHEN MY DAD AND I WERE DRIVING IT THAT FIRST WEEK, WE OFTEN SMELLED GAS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STARTED AND AFTER WE GOT HOME AND TURNED IT OFF. I WAS SO EXCITED TO HAVE MY 1ST NEW (USED) CAR, I FORGOT TO LOOK INTO IT. MY FRIENDS KEPT MENTIONING THAT GAS SMELL ,ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SAT IN THE BACK SEAT. SO MY FATHER LAID UNDERNEATH, PUT HIS HAND UNDER THE GAS PAN OVER THE FUEL PUMP AND IT WAS LEAKING GAS. WHEN WE LOOKED THIS UP ON THE INTERNET, IT SHOWED US THIS IS A NATIONAL RECALL PROBLEM FOR ALL 2006 AND 2007 COBALTS. I DO NOT WANT MY CAR TO BLOW UP WITH ME IN IT !! PLEASE ADVISE...WHERE DO WE GET THIS DIAGNOSED? AND WILL THEY HANDLE THE EXPENSE? IT SAYS ALL STATES ARE NOT COVERED FOR EXPENSE. WHY? AND HOW DO I FIND OUT WHERE THIS CAR ORIGINATED? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2006 CHEVY COBALT AND HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY (2012). MY PROBLEM STARTED IN FEBRUARY 2012 WHEN HEADING TO A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. STARTED PULLING CAR OFF OF PARKING LOT WHERE I LIVE AND THE CAR HAD A JERKING/BUCKING SENSATION TO IT AND THEN SHUT OFF ON ME. HAD CAR TOWED TO CHEVY DEALER AND THE CAR WOULDN'T DUPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM SO I GOT THE CAR BACK. 9 DAYS LATER I GO OUT AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM - POWER STEERING LIGHT ON; JERKING SENSATION AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED FROM 35 MPH TO 0. CAR WENT BACK TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP. AGAIN, CAR WOULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEMS. GOT CAR BACK & SINCE I HAVE BEEN SCARED TO DEATH TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, IT HAS SAT FOR 2 MONTHS. AFTER GETTING GM INVOLVED, TRIED TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AND ONCE AGAIN - POWER STEERING LIGHT ON; JERKING/BUCKING SENSATION; CLICKING IN GEAR CONSOLE. 3 TIMES NOW I HAVE HAD THIS CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY DECIDE IT'S THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), YET THEY INDICATED THAT ON MY FIRST TRIP, THAT A STORED CODE SHOWED THEM THE BCM WAS NOT COMMUNICATING. GETTING GM INVOLVED HAS BEEN A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE NATURALLY SINCE THE WARRANT IS OFF OF THE CAR, THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO SOAK UP THE COST OF REPLACING THIS MODULE WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME $685.00. *TR

STEERING
WE BOUGHT THIS CAR ON JAN 21 OF 2011 USED AT JOHN HOWARD IN MORGANTOWN WV AND 3 MONTHS LATER THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND BEEPS AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TO 4 TIMES SINCE. I CONTACTED JOHN HOWARD BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART THEY ARE SAYING FAILED (OR FAILING) AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE CHEVY DEALER THEY SAY THEY ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR IT BECAUSE 19000S MILE AGO IT WAS REPLACED AND ONCE THE RECALL WAS DONE THEN IT IS OUR PROBLEM. AFTER TALKING TO THEM LONGER THEY SUGGESTED I GO TO A GM DEALER HAVE IT TESTED ON MY EXPENSE AND IF ITS THE SAME THING THAT THE RECALL WAS THEN THEY WOULD TALK ABOUT REPLACING IT ON THEIR CHARGE. AFTER GOING TO HARRY GREEN IN CLARKSBURG THEY TELL ME I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR WHOLE THING THAT THE PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SOMETHING GM DID NOT TELL ME. MY THING IS IF THEY ARE HAVING THIS MUCH TROUBLE WITH THE POWER STEERING ON THIS CAR, WHICH THEY ARE, I SHOULD BE NO WHERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISTAKE THEY MADE OVER AND OVER AGAIN. INSTEAD I PAY OVER $8000 FOR A CAR I EXPECT TO LAST LONGER THAN 3 MONTHS WITHOUT PUMPING MONEY INTO IT LAST AND I HAVE TO REFIX A RECALL THAT DIDN'T WORK TO BEGIN WITH. SOME WHERE SOME HOW SOMEONE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND I DON'T FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE ME. *TR
