FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A STRONG GAS ODOR WAS SMELLED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHEN OUTSIDE, THE ODOR WAS STRONG FROM THE REAR END OF THE CAR. NO VISIBLE LEAKS ON THE GROUND, BUT SOME GAS WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GAA TANK. LIKE MANY OTHER COBALT OWNERS, MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP RECALL DID NOT MATCH MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS, LIFE THREATENING SITUATION... AND ITS HARD TO BELIEVE I HAVE TO GO THIS FAR TO GET CHEVY TO FIX IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A HAZARDOUS GAS LEAK COMING FROM MYFUEL PUMP SYSTEM, YET I HAVE NEVER RAN OVER ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE THIS. I HAVE SMELLED GAS EVERY DAY IN THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I KNOW THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS ONLY A FEW PAGES OFF OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL FOR 2007 CHEVY COBALT. I KNOW THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS ONLY A FEW DIGITS OFF OF THE FUEL PUMP RECALL FOR 2007 CHEVY COBALT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FAULTY.
