FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES, DELAWARE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:09V419000) I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED BECAUSE IT LEAKED FUEL WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL. IF THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL PUMP WHY WOULD IT MATTER WHAT STATE YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN? I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO IT FURTHER. I SPOKE WITH GM AND THEY WILL NOT COVER MY EXPENSES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF LEAKING GASOLINE. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR A FUEL LEAK ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, BUT NOT IN VIRGINIA!? NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V419000 COMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER RECALL, SAYING IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN. MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM, AND WHAT STATE I AM IN SHOULD NOT EXCLUDE THEM FROM RESPONSIBILITY. THIS RECALL MUST BE EXTENDED TO ALL AFFECTED OWNERS IN EVERY STATE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTICED THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND GAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. A LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE WOULD BE LEFT UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT OR WHEN LEFT IDLING, EVEN IF ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT WAS DETERMINED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE LEAK WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP. READ ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE 07 CHEVROLET COBALT IN SEVERAL STATES. I CALLED CHEVROLET TO COMPLAIN BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS REGISTERED IN MARYLAND. IT IS MY OPINION THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO OPEN THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL FAULTY FUEL PUMPS ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL VEHICLE AND NOT LIMIT THE RECALL TO SELECT STATES. *TR

SUSPENSION
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A CLUNK ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IN THE WHEEL AREA. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE SUSPENSION NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY PUNCTURED UP IN THE VERY TOP OF THE SUSPENSION. AS OF YET I HAVENT GOTTEN IT REPLACED AS I WAS WAITING TO GET IT ALL DONE WHEN THE CAR GETS INSPECTED ALONG WITH NEW TIRES AND AN ALIGNMENT. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS CHEVY NEEDS TO RECALL THE 2007 COBOLT AND FIX IT. I ALSO HAVE ONLY BACK SPEAKERS THAT WORK FOR THE RADIO AND THE ELECTRIC LOCKS MECHANISM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FOR PASSENGER DOOR HAS NEVER WORKED SINCE I GOT IT AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTED REPAIRS AT AUTO DEALERSHIP. WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY. GOING TO A FOREIGN AUTO MAKER FOR NEXT PURCHASE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
THE LEFT FRONT SPEAKER QUIT WORKING. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL CHIME DID NOT WORK. WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL CHIMES (DOOR OPEN, KEY IN THE IGNITION, ETC) WAS NOT WORKING. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THE COBALT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE AND IT ALSO APPEARS THAT GM DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT. *TR
