| Noticed a very strong fuel odor while driving, idling and parked. i took my vehicle to my mechanic to look into the issue. after looking everything over, he notice the pressure hose off the fuel pump was cracked, and that the entire fuel pump would need to be replaced. i then took it to the local dealership and was told they can not fix the issue because of the mileage. i noticed this is a major issue with many 2006 chevy cobalts and gm need to start fixing their issues. *tr | |||

| During a drive to work, approximately 5 miles in travel there was a gas smell indicated in the cabin of the vehicle. the smell prompted me to bring the car to the dealership in greeley colorado where the technician told me that the fuel pump was leaking and could cause a fatal fire. the technician checked the current recalls and all cars in the 2006 - 2007 year were recalled except this model that was sold in another state. he informed me that i was to contact gm directly, when i contacted gm they stated that this particular car was not under recall. when i mentioned the other recalls on the same cobalt cars with similar problems they stated that there was nothing they could do to resolve the issue other than direct me to place a complaint with the highway administration. since this conversation has occurred i was instructed not to drive my car due to the likely hood of possible fire, i have been without a vehicle to go to and from work. since this is an on going issue and other models that have been recalled, i feel that i have been mistreated and put my families lives at risk due to a known problem with this model. any help would be a greatly appreciated, thank you for your time and consideration of this complaint. *tr | |||

| Could smell gas every time that i got out of car. was told that it was not covered under the recall because it was over the 120,000 miles that they allowed. so, i had to pay for it myself. who in their right mind would make a fuel pump and sending unit out of plastic. connection points should be steel. | |||

| I was under my car inspecting it for a leak from spots i saw on the drive way. i found out the hard way it was a fuel leak near the gas tank when it decided to catch on fire with me underneath the car. i was not injured but the car was a total loss. i had previously asked the dealer to do any recall work needed when my power steering pump had gone bad. they told me the power steering pump was the only recall issued for my vehicle. i found out now, over a year later that some were recalled for a fuel line problem like this, and mine has a vin that matches the recall, but since mine was not sold in a state covered my vehicle was not covered by the recall. would have been nice to know before crawling under the car | |||

| I noticed the car emitting a gas smell which consistently got worse over the week. i took it in to have it checked and discovered that the entire fuel pump had to be replaced because part of it was leaking gas. the mechanic explained that the fuel pump is above the gas tank, and they had to take it all apart to even look at it. i discovered that a recall was in place (gm recall no. 090226), but only in certain states (not mine). i'm no mechanic, but the actual mechanic said that the recall description matched the problem this car is facing. he also mentioned that because he had to take it all apart this problem was probably not from everyday wear and tear. i hadn't noticed any leaks until after i got it checked, and now it is leaking all over the place. i am curious as to why the recall is only in certain states. is the weather a factor? did only certain cars get this faulty part? if it is known that the part is subpar, let's get all states on board. *tr | |||

| Gas mileage had significant decrease on highway trips. after driving >50 miles and parking car in garage, garage would smell horribly of gasoline. upon initial investigation, gasoline was leaking from the top-end of the fuel tank in the area of the plastic supply and return lines via the fuel pump. significant amount of leakage found on car under body. symptoms match nhtsa campaign id number: 09v419000. car was taken to tom gill chevrolet for repair work where it was diagnosed to replace fuel pump assembly due to a cracked fuel supply/return line on fuel pump modular. upon discussing with dealership, it as indicated this item was under recall but is region specific. dealership made comments that it was regional due to cost of repair. this car was manufactured with the same components as the cars recalled in new mexico, mississippi, california, etc. it is unacceptable for the consume to bear cost of replacement due to region when it is a common problem with the cobalt platform. *tr | |||

| We noticed a strong fuel odor coming from the car. upon further investigation we discovered a puddle of fuel under the car. we researched recalls and of course we were told they were for certain states. we contacted gm and was able to get them to pay to have the vehicle looked at to see what the problem was due to it being a safety issue! dealer found the metal lines part of the fuel pump module are leaking fuel. it was necessary to replace the fuel pump module. our dealer offered to pay 50% of the cost. we still have an open investigation with gm to see if they will be covering the cost of the repair and refund us our money. this is a safety issue. it is a defective part! no way should a car with less than 41,000 miles should have a fuel leak. just hope you decide to recall before someone gets hurt or dies!! *tr | |||

| I noticed that my car, inside and out, had a strong odor of fuel. since my daughter drives the car i immediately took it to my mechanic. i was told there is a recall on 2006 cobalts for this issue. however since i'm not in a southern state, with high temperatures, my car is not covered. this makes absolutely no sense to me since maryland has been extremely hot all summer. the vin number for my car matches the recall notice just not the state. i have no choice but to find the money for repair since my child's safety is at risk. i just think that gm should pay for all 2006 cobalts since they are clearly aware of the problem. *tr | |||

| I started noticing a smell of fuel from my vehicle but did not see a leak. i took the vehicle to my local mechanic who noticed a leak, they were then able to verify that the plastic fuel line piece was broken which means the fuel pump needs to be replaced. i went online and noticed a recall on the 2006 chevy cobalt because of fuel pump issues. in a gm recall bulletin i located online dated jan. 2010 bulletin # 09226, stated that the vehicles affected had vin # with the last 8 digits between 67600011 and 67887442. my vehicle's vin number falls between those two numbers but according to a chevrolet customer service agent, who acknowledged the recall on the faulty part, my vin # is not valid for the recall. i took it to my local mechanic to get fixed because it is a safety issue if nothing else. i am writing you because i believe that chevrolet should be financially responsible for this repair especially because they acknowledge that they have had issues with the fuel pumps on the 2006 chevrolet cobalts. any help you could provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated. *tr | |||

| There has been recalls on the chevy cobalt in other states for the fuel pump. due to heat the fuel pump cracks and leaks fuel which could cause fire or explosion. we live in west virginia and have had high temperatures and our cars fuel pump cracked causing car to stall and gas leaking around area. because we don't live in one of the states that it was recalled in they will not fix our car. it is a defective part that can cause injury or death and to my understanding the ones they recall they fix with the same plastic that will crack again. shouldn't a recall be for all cobalts if all the cobalts are doing this or a warning label that says only buy the car if you live in a cold or cool climate. i can't see how chevy is getting away with this let alone fixing the problem with the same part! *tr | |||

| My car started smelling like gasoline, and i couldnt figure out why. the smell was inside and outside of the car. this didnt start till the temperature here in va was over 100 degrees. i was told could of been that my gas cap was not venting properly. the gas smell became so intense outside and inside the car even after i replaced the gas cap. i have received prices of 650.00 to over 1000.00 to have the defective fuel pump replaced (all one unit) according to the repair shops. i think that we elect officials to office and they should make gm fix the defective items (especially since they know about the recall) in all states before someone gets killed...oh yea thats right they got a bail out---we are just your average joes buying vehicles from them putting monies in thier pockets and they wont fix what is a defective part that can and will eventualy kill someone when their car catches on fire. | |||

| A noticeable gas odor upon entering and exiting the car was noticed. the vehicle was inspected by a certified gm service technician. upon inspection & review of recalls, it was discovered the issue was directly related to special coverage adjustment #09275a issued march 2010 & a product safety recall #09226b issued may 9, 2012. however, the state of ownership or registration does not fall into the list of states indicated on the recall. the technician indicated the states listed are hot, more southern states than the state of missouri where the car is currently registered. however, much of the midwest has seen much higher than normal temperatures during the last 30-45 days...temps in the 100 plus range. the vin also falls within the range listed on the recall notice. gm was notified to ask if they would honor the repair but indicated the bulletins are issued by the government & if the care registration or ownership does not fall within the limits set, coverage is not provided. wouldn't gm rather cover a minor repair bill than to be sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars when my house burns down due to this problem?? it doesn't make sense to me that although i have the same problem as listed in the recall due to high-temperature weather, and my car falls within the vin #s listed as well as year, make & model, that because i don't live in a more southern state, i am forced to pay for a repair that shouldn't be needed in the first place if the car was manufactured correctly. if it is a problem directly related to the original findings, it shouldn't matter what state i live in. i'm disappointed in not only my government but gm for not honoring this repair issue and would request a review. technician indicated numerous cars in this area have been brought in with this same problem. *tr | |||

| A noticeable gas odor upon entering and exiting the car was noticed. the vehicle was inspected by a certified gm service technician. upon inspection & review of recalls, it was discovered the issue was directly related to special coverage adjustment #09275a issued march 2010 & a product safety recall #09226b issued may 9, 2012. however, the state of ownership or registration does not fall into the list of states indicated on the recall. the technician indicated the states listed are hot, more southern states than the state of missouri where the car is currently registered. however, much of the midwest has seen much higher than normal temperatures during the last 30-45 days...temps in the 100 plus range. the vin also falls within the range listed on the recall notice. gm was notified to ask if they would honor the repair but indicated the bulletins are issued by the government & if the care registration or ownership does not fall within the limits set, coverage is not provided. wouldn't gm rather cover a minor repair bill than to be sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars when my house burns down due to this problem?? it doesn't make sense to me that although i have the same problem as listed in the recall due to high-temperature weather, and my car falls within the vin #s listed as well as year, make & model, that because i don't live in a more southern state, i am forced to pay for a repair that shouldn't be needed in the first place if the car was manufactured correctly. if it is a problem directly related to the original findings, it shouldn't matter what state i live in. i'm disappointed in not only my government but gm for not honoring this repair issue and would request a review. technician indicated numerous cars in this area have been brought in with this same problem. *tr | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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 replaing 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 wouold 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 catistrophic event. | |||
