  As I was driving on a city street, the engine began to run rough and I noticed the odor of gasoline. I pulled over to check for the source of the odor and found fuel leaking from the bottom of the car and onto the road. This was an extremely dangerous condition, as I could not stop the fuel from continuing to leak. I found that the fuel supply line between the fuel tank and engine rusted completely through near the driver side rear fender well, causing the leak. The evaporative emission vapor line was rusted and leaking as well, resulting in flammable fuel vapors escaping.

  The key IS stuck in the ignition and the car will not start. In addition, I can't get the gear to shift to park to move to neutral, I've lost all power to the car from the lights to being unable to open the trunk. I had to put the emergency break on for fear that the car would roll away because I couldn't move the gear shift. The car has been parked in my driveway for the last three months.

  Took my car in because it IS experiencing a long period of time cranking before starting each time, and I find out that I have a fuel line leak. After doing some research to see if there IS a recall, I find that my year and model are not included, although many other 08 chevy cobalts are. This really concerns me that this model of vehicle has been left out of recalls that affect the safety of my mode of transportation.

  Service brakes

  Rear brakes wear the pads unevenly and scratch the rotors. Common problem that most 2008+ cobalt SS owners experience. Due to the faulty brakes, the hand brake will often not work, which IS a large inconvenience in a car that IS only available with a manual transmission. This IS most noticeable when trying to park on a hill.

  Upon start of the vehicle the service airbag warning IS illuminated. The airbag readiness light stays on. If I wiggle the wires underneath the warning goes away temporarily. Also if a passenger sits in the passenger seat it would indicate an airbag sensor and the indicator would show it being off although a passenger IS in the seat. I took it to the chevrolet dealer who pulled my vin and indicated no recall on my vehicle vin, but knowing other 2008 chevrolet cobalts are having similar issues IS my concern even if my vin shows no recall.

  Engine light came on.... Had it checked by firestone... They told me the 2ND cylinder was misfiring per the diagnostic code.. Should be 130 psi and only registering 90 psi....then while stopped longer than 30 seconds "service traction" light comes on.....asking $2300 to repair.... Why would one of the four cylinders go bad.....complained to gm and they told me I needed a certified gm dealer to look at it so I took it to gm also for diagnostic and they are saying misfire in 2ND cylinder which IS what the diagnostic code says- per the paperwork given me they are not sure what the repair IS going to entail or how to fix the problem..... Per internet complaints this s a problem that has occurred many times in cobalts.... IS it because no one got hurt or died that they don't want to consider this a recall? the car IS only 9 years old and has 68800 miles on it.....and believe it or not the warranty expired 1000 miles ago... Very frustrating and unbelievable! please help me understand. *tr

  After climbing a steep driveway, brakes went to the floor when pulling out onto main road. Brakes would stop but continued to go to floor if 1) brakes were put on part of the way; release and then put on to stop again or 2) foot stayed on brake pedal upon stopping. It was not a sudden drop but a continuous movement of the pedal to the floor. Took to southtowne chevrolet in newnan, ga and after a couple of attempts to repair the brakes (replacing front brakes, etc) a forman rode with me and they ended up having to flush the hydraulic system to get the brakes to stop. Upon hearing of the recall on the malibus this morning, I felt like my cobalt might have also suffered a potential hazard in its hydraulic system. *tr

Explained to gm that the mechanic that worked on the cobalt said fuel harness caught fire do to too much power at start up. And explained to gm that when I put the key in the ignition to start the car the wheel would lock. Gmwas very rude all the said was take other keys off ring and would not fix at the time the ignition. And wouldn't reimburse the cost of the fuel pump. This was three months ago before recalls I have taken the car to get the ignition fixed but dealer would not look into why airbag light goes off and on without anyone touching it. *js

  On 10/2013, I was driving on the 105 fwy going eastbound at approximately 60 miles per hour when all of a sudden the vehicle stalled and I no longer could accelerate. East bound traffic was heavy and chp officer had to park behind me with his lights to avoid me getting hit by other vehicles, since there was no safety lane to pull over for broken down cars. the vehicle was towed to one other place before being towed to penske chevrolet, 18605 s studebaker rd., cerritos, ca 90703 the following day. in short, I took my car back 3 different times from the first time it was towed there. They would fix one part and I would leave and shortly after the engine light would come back on and I would return. Then they stated it was something else and they would "fix it". The check engine light would come back on once again. The last and final time I took my car in they replaced yet another car part and in total I paid $500.00 dollars in fees, not to mention time loss at work and gas they use to do "long test drives". to this day the check engine light IS still on from the day I left penske chevrolet. The manager there "[xxx]" in short stated that the car IS fixed and that I would just have to deal with the check engine light being on. He assured me the second to last visit that this would be fixed and it never was. the vehicle IS still not working as it did prior 10/2013. It cuts and does not accelerates when you initially step on the gas. In addition, the door locks are electric and when I drive they pop up and down on there own. I also will leave my car locked and when I get back the car will be unlocked. This all began after I got my vehicle back from penske chevrolet of cerritos. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

Had authorized mechanic.check it, he said he has seen this problem several times with this make & model. Said it IS the fuel sending/return lines cracked on top of fuel pump. Researched & found this problem has been known by manufacturer back to 2005. This IS a very dangerous situation, but chevrolet co. Will not recall. What will it take for recall to be issued, a car to blow up or person to be burned to death? I'm sure law suits will follow. *tt

  On July 5, 2020, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened PE20-011 to investigate instances of metal fuel lines under the vehicle corroding and leaking fuel in model year (MY) 2008 through 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and 2008 through 2009 Chevrolet HHR passenger cars manufactured by General Motors (GM). The metal fuel lines are corroding and leaking fuel in the area between the front and rear wheels on the driver's side of the vehicle before the muffler. Most consumers allege a fuel odor and/or an observable fuel leak that alerts them to the condition.The subject metal fuel lines have a protective AGE coating and, in the vicinity of the left rear wheel, are further wrapped in a foil heat shield. The AGE coating consists of an annealed zinc aluminum alloy metal coating with extended corrosion protection paint. Under certain conditions, water and corrosive road deicing agents may enter a crevice between the heat shield and the AGE coating. With extended environmental exposure in high corrosive environments, the AGE coating can degrade. If it degrades enough, the base metal lines may begin to corrode beneath the heat shield.Corrosion to the fuel lines may eventually cause a perforation to develop in the line, allowing fuel vapors to escape from between the line and the heat shield, emitting a fuel odor that will be detectable to the vehicle operator. If the corrosion progresses, fuel may begin to weep from the line. Further metal degradation due to corrosion could create a drip or a mist of fuel. If this occurs, vehicle owners may see drips, spots, or puddles on the ground near the rear portion of the vehicle, primarily along the driver's side rear wheel.The majority of allegations (85%) were reported for vehicles that are operated in the salt belt region of the United States. This area includes states in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and Midwest regions. Additionally, the average failure mileage in the subject vehicles is approximately 111,000 across all data sources.Considering the low manufacturer complaint/warranty rates of fuel line replacement, the fact that the majority of failures are concentrated in salt belt states, high failure mileages, as well as the field exposure time for the subject vehicles, and the highly detectable and progressive nature of this failure over time, the potential safety consequences of this issue are very low. To date, there have been no reported crashes, injuries, or fatalities related to this issue. There are two reported fires in ODI data and no reported fires in GM data. Both ODI reported fires were minor, occurred after the vehicle was parked, and were extinguished utilizing fire extinguishers.In view of the progressive failure occurring at high mileages, the age of the subject vehicles, the high detectability of the leak, and the majority of failures occurred in salt belt states, this Preliminary Evaluation is closed. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.Review the ODI reports cited above at nhtsa.gov under the attached identification numbers.

  In a March 1, 2010 letter, General Motors Corporation (GM) provided a defect information report to NHTSA regarding a problem that could result in sudden loss of power steering assist in certain model year (MY) 2005 through 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt and MY 2007 through 2010 Pontiac G5 vehicles equipped with electric power steering (EPS).The letter indicates that the loss of steering assist could occur at any time while driving and that, once assist is lost, a message is displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and a chime sounds to inform the driver.The letter further states that steering control is maintained in manual mode, but would require greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds.In the next ignition cycle, power assist is typically regained and the DIC message is no longer displayed.GM's letter identifies the root cause of the EPS failure as the EPS motor and indicates that production of a new motor started in December 2009.GM's recall repair procedure instructs dealers to replace the EPS motor in all recalled vehicles. ODI's analysis of all information available related to sudden loss of EPS assist while driving in the MY 2005 through 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt vehicles shows current complaint and warranty rates of 323/100,000 vehicles and 0.4% respectively.In response to ODI's request for information, GM identified 81 complaints where a crash was claimed that may be related to loss of EPS assist.ODI's analysis of all crash claims was based on verifiable factors such as; whether a loss of EPS was indicated at the time of the crash by a chime or malfunction indicator lamp or if a EPS related component malfunction was identified after the crash occurred.With this method ODI identified 36 possible crashes related to EPS failure.GM assessed crash claims based on the available facts and excluded crash claims that indicated that the vehicle was travelling at speeds in the range of 30 mph or greater.GM said that it believes if power assist is lost while a vehicle is moving at speeds in the range of 30 mph or greater there is a small difference in steering efforts perceived in subjective evaluations at those speeds and it is unlikely to lead to loss of vehicle control. Based on GM's safety recall, this investigation is closed.
