There was a fuel leak on my car. the same day that i dropped my car off at the dealership another person was there with the same car & the same exact problem. i feel as tho it may not have been a coincidence & probably should be looked in to. i noticed the problem a few days before taking it to the shop. i had no major problems with my car before this issue.

Gas line was leaking. has been over 2 weeks and part is still backordered for many additional orders for the same part. if this many gas lines are all leaking and in need of this part, it warrants an investigation as to why they are all leaking at the same time. to date there is still not even a timeline as to the proposed date that a part will be available leading me to believe there are thousands to millions of cars in the same predicament.
Fuel lines, driver side rear, rusting & beginning to leak.
I see all over the place where many others have this same problem with chevy cobalts. the fuel line leaks and then they want to charge you $700 to replace. if so many have this problem, why isn't there a recall and it's all in the same spot (driver side by rear tire)

Could not figure out why i was going through gas so quickly. i did realize that the car was leaking something but unable to take in for servicing right away. the car started to leak appox. 3-4 days prior to this incident. i left my fiance in the running car while i ran into a store and a few minutes later he came and got me saying we have to leave right now! he had me put my items down, and rushed me out of the store! as soon as we get outside he explained several people stopped freaking that the car is leaking gas everywhere! there was a huge puddle of gas under rear driverside tire! all you could smell was gasoline! we left panicked and actually ran out of gas in traffic! thank god i had an emergency almost full gas can in trunk. so in the middle of 6pm traffic we are trying to pour every little drop of gas into the car, while cars are honking and staring and swerving around us into oncoming traffic.this could of been a horrible avoidable problem. several several several bad outcomes could of happened. come on chevy this is definitely a manufacturing defect- recall this before someone gets injured or worse! now not only did i have to go through theart horrible scary situation, but now i have no vehicle for my family! we are closing on our home and getting ready to move to another state. i am going to have to part for a rental car and these repairs! approximately i'm looking at $1000 out of my pocket for something that once again seems to be a manufacturer defect on this car!!! the whole has line needs replaced. date of incident 03/26/2019 has approx. 87,000 miles
With car running (parked) fuel is leaking heavily from rear of vehicle drivers side. fuel leak appears to be coming from fuel lines/gas tank area.
I noticed a gas leak under my rear passenger seat and can smell gas outside of the car. took it to a garage and they said the fuel lines are leaking where they connect to the fuel pump, but they have seen many cobalts come in with this issue and it's covered under recall. i checked with gm, my vin has no recall for that issue. there is no rust under the car so this is definitely a manufacturing issue.

Fuel line rusted out cause bad leak . cost me $ 543.50 to get fix . gm should pay for that
I have been smelling gas fumes from my car lately. i took it to the dealer, they told me my gas line rusted through. i examined the line after removal and found that chevrolet the manufacture placed a flexible insulated heat shield around the gas lines near the exhaust pipe and the 12 inch shielding has a core that holds moisture. this moisture over 7 years rusted out the lines only under this cover. the rest of the lines look perfect. this could have been a disaster and could have started a hugh fire. this tells me there are a lot of auto mobiles out there with this problem. this cost me $800.00 dollars to have these lines replaced, because of poor design. the gas leak is right next to the exhaust pipe.
While driving in a suburban area , smelled strong gasoline odor coming from under the car. at destination, others noticed as well. immediately parked car, looked up the issue and realized the fuel line/fuel pump/gas leak is a cobalt problem, yet not a recall. we got it serviced, but out of our pocket expense.
Air bag service light came on the fuel pump gasket leaks and the steering wheel plastic bearing is broken inside the steering wheel these are all recalls that these cars have but when i do a recall vin check nothing comes up but i know the issues it has has to do with recalls
After smelling a strong smell of gasoline while driving on the interstate, i pulled my car over and noticed a huge puddle of gasoline on the ground and still steadily pouring out. i immediately drove it home and parked it and took photos and a video of the defect. i had lost over half a tank of gasoline in just 30 minutes. with this fuel pump leak being near the exhaust, a high probability of explosion can happen and has happened to other models of this vehicle, different model year. i have seen that the chevrolet cobalt 2007-2009 have been recalled due to fuel pump leaks, but the 2010 has suspiciously been left off of the recall.
Rear brakes making lots of noise, and are crap. this car should have alot more recalls. stop letting gm screw us hard working people! my car is moving when i hear the noises, my brake pads are new so this is not the problem.
