Car has terrible start first thing in the morning. it went from washington to gulfport mississippi. started about a week ago smelled gas. looked under fuel tank and found a sizeable puddle or fuel which i assume is pressurizing as it sits and then has to pressurize the fuel system again when it starts. it's practically a bomb with wheels and my daughter sits in it. it will be fine starting for about 10 minutes if you shut it off and crank it after it will do that all over again

Interior of car started to fill up with gasoline fumes,while on the road.i had to open all the windows and sunroof.i got off parkway and inspected car for gas leaks.there were none so i took local roads home.by the time i got home i was lightheaded .the chevy dealership told me all my fuel lines were rotted out and had to be replaced.

Fuel line is leaking in 4 places. some 2009 cobalts were recalled for this issue. dealer tells me entire line needs to be repaired front to back.

Rusted and leaking fuel line under the car just in front of the rear drivers side tire. water and debris was trapped inside silver heat tape accelerating the rust of the lines.

Heavy fuel smell. after researching, found fuel line all rusted out at clamp between drivers side door and right rear wheel. the car sat idle for three days and the temps outside where very hot. after reading on-line posts, i see that many people with this vehicle has the exact same problem.

The fuel line started leaking in front of the rear tire on the drivers side of the vehicle. the vehicle was parked, and was having a difficult time starting. i stepped out of the vehicle and found a large puddle of gas under my vehicle.

My car fuel pump modulator problem. that has been on recall. but not for my vehicle. i do not know the history of what stat it origionally was bought in. but i think if those cars have recall why shouldnt mine? it now leaks gas under gas tank and when i tried to start it gives me hard time. it started 7/2019. makes car bog down when accelerating. does it sitting and when moving

High pressure fuel line leak. only occurs when the car in running

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet cobalt. while pumping fuel, the contact noticed a leak underneath the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to eriksen chevrolet (located at 325 1st ave e, milan, il 61264, (309) 756-2700) where it was determined that diagnostic testing was needed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was unknown.

My car smells like gas inside and out. chevy dealership says that it is fuel line leakage which has been reported by many for this model. but for some reason, my vin was not included in the recall which was done in 2012. fuel line leak did not happen in my car until now. it is like driving around in a fuel bomb with my little kids. it is too expensive to pay out of my pocket ($1100) for a car that is not worth much.

The fuel pump stopped working. after inspection the fuel pump was charred and the electrical plug running from the lid that locks under the tank locking ring crumbled apart. it was so burnt its a wonder a fire didn't start since it's inside the tank. to make things worse the lid that seals in the connector and all the hoses to the fuel pump is non existent. the part number is not even listed.
