FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I ENTERED THE GARAGE AND SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR OF GAS. THE CAR HAD RECENTLY BEEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE AFTER RETURNING FROM A 115 MILE INTERSTATE TRIP. AFTER INVESTIGATING I FOUND A PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE CEMENT FLOOR UNDER THE CAR IN FRONT THE THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. I STARTED THE CAR AND BACKED IT OUT TO THE DRIVEWAY DURING WHICH THE GAS LEAK WAS MUCH MORE SUBSTANTIAL. THE GAS LINE IS VERY CORRODED WHERE IT MEETS THE INSULATION WRAPPING NEAR THE CAR'S EXHAUST PIPE. IT APPEARS THE GAS LINE FAILED AT THAT SPOT AND WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL IS DRIPPING FROM UNDER VEHICLE, AHEAD FOR REAR LEFT WHEEL, FORMING A PUDDLE WHEN PARKED. FUEL STOPS DRIPPING AT SOME POINT AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF PRESUMABLY WHEN FUEL LINE IS DRAINED. ENGINE IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART, REQUIRING ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF CRANKING BEFORE STARTING, PROBABLY DUE TO FUEL LINE HAVING TO BE REFILLED. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER TO CHECK AND REPAIR THE FUEL LEAK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL PUDDLE UNDER CAR- SHOP HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AS IT WAS LEAKING ON TOP OF THE TANK. GM REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AS THEY SAY ONLY 2006 THRU 2009 CHEVY COBALT'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A 2010 (LAST YEAR MADE) THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SENARIO - DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS MANDATED.

STARTED SMELLING GAS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. AFTER I PARKED THE CAR, I NOTICED SOMETHING DRIPPING FROM RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVERS DOOR UNDER THE CAR. I HAD SOMEONE LOOK IT AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY A GAS LEAK. ONCE WE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR, WE NOTICED THAT THE GAS LINES WERE RUSTED AND THAT IS WHERE THE GAS WAS LEAKING OUT FROM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING. I HAVE TO TURN IT ON AND WHEN I HAVE MADE MY TURN I HAVE TO FLIP IT OFF MYSELF OR IT DOES NOT GO OFF. I BELIEVE THIS FAILS TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NUMBER 108, LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVISES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. IF THE TURN-SIGNALS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY DEACTIVATE, THE DRIVER MAY FAIL TO TURN THEM OFF MANUALLY. AN ERRONEOUS ACTIVE TURN-SIGNAL MAY MISLEAD PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. OF COURSE THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE SAFETY RISK. I GLANCE THROUGH THE SAFETY ISSUE RECALLS AND SAW THAT A 2019 GM AUTOMOBILE WAS RECALLED WITH THIS ISSUE STATING THE FMVSS SAFETY STANDARD; THEREFORE, I AM SUBMITTING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V117000.
