There is a very strong odor of gasoline coming from inside and out of my vehicle when parked and engine is off/on and when the vehicle is in motion. the smell has made my children nautious and given us headaches. and after doing some research i'm seeing very similar cases with the cobalts of other years that are being recalled but mine is not. i beleive it is the same issue as the 2009 cobalts aswell as the saturn ions.

Smelled gas while running, driving, & after turned off, has fuel leak. fuel line eroded where they insulated the metal line!
Increasingly the vehicle is not operating properly. the lighting is not consistent and the smallest addition of extra features requiring power (ex: using one or more window controls, heater and or defogger, lighting in dash at full capacity, musical performance, radio and bass, etc) will cause the power of existing devices to flutter or surge for example the headlights will dim out when turning the windows down or the vehicle will begin to vibrate and shake even more almost as though it is overpowering and wanting to shut down or quit. also the rpms will feel like they are hiccuping or bouncing down and up more than usual and at random times and speeds at times seems like its going to red line even if you take your foot off the gas. this is also a bit of the same type of issue but it is the opposite when you push the gas it hesitates or something like that glitches or jolts and gains power very slowly and has a hard time accelerating and gaining speed (seems gutless?) . and at stop lights and whenever parked its rumbles and shakes all together let alone if you are using the ...
The car is leaking gas from the fuel line. the spot is by the back side driver rear wheel
The car is leaking fuel, it first came to notice when parked in my garage, the odor of fuel was so strong i was afraid to open the garage door or start the car for fear of a spark starting a fire and burning my house down! the dealership told me the fuel lines are corroded and leaking. i am shocked that such a critical component is made of materials that could ever be compromised during ordinary use, especially when leaking gasoline is such an obvious safety hazard. i opened a case with chevrolet, #[xxx], but was told fuel lines are considered a maintenance issue. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tt

My cobalt has a strong gas odor coming from inside and outside the vehicle at all times. there is an obvious leak at the back of the tank where the filler hose attaches to the tank. a fuel puddle is present when the vehicle is parked.
I have a 2008 chevrolet cobalt i purchased from a dealership 11 months ago. 3 days ago i get in my car, start it up and all of a sudden i got a strong smell of gasoline. i got out, looked under my car and gas is pouring out from underneath my car. i've read very many complaints just like mine on 2005-2009 chevrolet cobalt's. if all these cobalt's have the same safety issues there needs to be a recall before someone's car goes up in flames and kills one or more people. my car was parked in my driveway, as soon as i turned the key i could smell gas.
Can smell gas when you stop the car . you can smell it really bad when you exit the car. the gas leak is right over top of the exhaust system and i do not know why this is not considered a safety issue. it is evidently leaking when the car is on the road but with the car in motion you do not smell the gas until you stop!
