STEERING
While driving, my power steering fluid light indicator came on making it really hard to turn. After parking and turning the car on the steering wheel went back to normal. I had my mechanic to check my steering fluid and I did not need any added. This has happened 3 times while driving my car and I refuse to drive my car. Is there a recall on this the power steering?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The fuel lines are corroded and leaking from several areas. The cost to replace all the fuel lines is $1000.00 . I cant sell it, trade it in, or drive it in this condition as even a minor fender bender could ignite the fuel and cause the car to explode with me inside. Cliffords car care center is a AAA recommended service center has inspected and confirmed the defective fuel lines. Parts are in high demand as thousands of HHR and Cobalt owners are having the same problem with corroded, leaking fuel lines. I have to wait 3 to 10 days to receive the parts. I have owned many cars and my last car I owned for 21 yrs and none have ever had a problem with leaking and corroded fuel lines. This is a known defect as hundreds of thousands of HHR and Cobalt owners have already reported this issue and an investigation is currently underway. A recall is needed and I should be refunded the cost of this repair.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SUSPICION OF A FUEL LEAK WAS NOTICED BY OUR NOSES ABOUT A MONTH AGO. VISUALLY CONFIRMED 10-22-20 VIA VISUAL INSPECTION AFTER FUEL POOLS DEVELOPED AFTER VEHICLE USE AND PARKING IN GARAGE. APPEARS TO BE THE FUEL RETURN LINE, TOP LINE, NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL IN THE AREA WHERE THERE IS HEAT SHIELDING ON THE LINES. I HAD THOUGHT THAT A FLEX FUEL VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HAD EXTREMELY CORROSION RESISTANT FUEL LINE MATERIAL. APPARENTLY NOT. A PERCEIVED VALUE AT TIME OF PURCHASE FROM THE NEW CAR DEALER DOESN'T EXIST. THERE IS A LOSS OF FUEL ECONOMY, AND AN INCREASED RISK TO THE VEHICLE AND GARAGE AND ATTACHED HOME. THERE IS ALSO THE OFFENSIVE FUMES. REDUCED VALUE OF THE AUTO AND REPAIR/REPLACEMENT EXPENSE THAT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT. LEAKING FUEL ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE ACCELERATED CORROSION OF OTHER MATERIALS IN THE AREA IT AFFECTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, MY MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THERE WAS RUSTING AND CORROSION ON MY FUEL LINE BY MY DRIVER-SIDE, REAR TIRE. THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF BUILT UP CONDENSATION AROUND THE CORROSION AND HE SAID THAT IF IT IS NOT ALREADY LEAKING FUEL, IT WILL BE SOON. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONG COLBALTS AND HHRS. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT POTENTIAL FIRE WITH FUEL LEAKAGE HAPPENING AROUND MY CAR AND IN MY GARAGE.
