| I just purchased this car on feb.19,2012. when my dad and i were driving it that first week, we often smelled gas, especially when it started and after we got home and turned it off. i was so excited to have my 1st new (used) car, i forgot to look into it. my friends kept mentioning that gas smell ,especially when they sat in the back seat. so my father layed underneath, put his hand under the gas pan over the fuel pump and it was leaking gas. when we looked this up on the internet, it showed us this is a national recall problem for all 2006 and 2007 cobalts. i do not want my car to blow up with me in it !! please advise...where do we get this diagnosed? and will they handle the expense? it says all states are not covered for expense. why? and how do i find out where this car originated? | |||

| Had been noticing a gas smell for awhile but didnt think much of it until i was failed for inspection the other day for a fuel leak. the dealership wanted 100 dollars to fix it and anywhere from 200 to 1000 to fix it they said so i had my mechanic friend help me drop the gas tank when we discovered gas on the fuel tank to find that its leaking from the fuel pump on top of the gas tank. after some research i found that this is a problem that numerous cobalt owners are having and actually has been recalled for only certain vin's in certain states. i dont see why the recall would not be to all cars that gm put the faulty fuel pump in. not only is this a very costly fix due to the amount of labor involved in getting to the fuel pump but even more so it is a very serious safety risk and i dont think that gm should be able to get away without having to honor a recall of sorts to all cars they put this faulty fuel pump in. | |||
