This car has a recall already in regards to fuel leakage but only for vehicles in certain states. My car leaks fuel and this is not the first time I have had to correct an issue with the fuel, as within the past two years I had to replace the fuel line for the same issue. This recall should be for all cobalts as I have the same issue as those in arc, az, etc. I have lived and had my vehicle registered in tx as well. This issue makes it where the car leaks gas onto the pavement when stationary or come to a stop. The car runs hard due to leaking fuel and afraid it will run out of gas.
The vehicle is leaking fuel from the gas link that connects to the gas tank. This has been an on and office issue. This when the vehicle is both on a office. I can go from having a half of tank to nearly empty the same day. The fumes are so strong I can not part the vehicle in my garage.
Leaking fuel and is a safety hazard due to this could cause a fire and is a common issue.
Fuel is leaking. The check engine light is on and may have a bad evap cannister valve according to a diagnostic check.
The fule line has rusted out and leaking gas. This problem ha happened to my car and ithe same problem has happened to a coworkers car. The same area of the fule line.
2 fuel leaks required extensive & expensive work: #1: fuel line rusted completely in areas where clamps attached fuel line to car body along driver's side-front 2 back. #2- plastic 'l'-shaped pieces connecting fuel lines to fuel pump@gas tank developed cracks. Both issues caused fuel leaks while engine running creating extreme fire/explosion hazard-especially bcuz gas leaks were difficult to detect while car in motion except for some gas fumes. Gas puddles only occur if idling in 1 place - otherwise it was all 'blowback' while moving & had the fuel line not needed replaced the l-pieces cracks may of gone unnoticed until complete failure because fumes & leaks blow away while driving... We are lucky to not have exploded cuz we smoke &/or any spark could've caused a boom!

I was driving home from work and my car all of a sudden cut off, I couldn't accelerate the strearing wheel got stiff and it just so happen I was able to pull over and not crash my car or even hurt myself..
My fuel line began leaking profusely. I am losing quite a bit of gasoline and I am concerned that it may catch fire and kill me. I see that certain 2007 cobalts were recalled over this issue and am wondering why mine wasn't. The leak occurs continuously while the vehicle is running, whether I am stationary or in motion.
My cobalt is not listed in the fuel pump-fuel line recalls that numerous others are listed in, yet, I've had the same problem! Also, the fuel lines are rusting through at the metal clamp sites and leaking gas too! I believe this recall needs extended to cover all vehicles developing this problem!
Gas smell is awful an gas leaking on the passenger side at the tank! Needs to be recalled asap! Many having the same problem
A fuel leak developed and fuel is dripping along the fuel lines under the driver's side of the vehicle.
Oem fuel lines are extremely prone to rusting and rotting out. Have done research online and this is a very fast problem that had a recall done on previous years (recall/warrenty extension reference #12191) during normal driving conditions the fuel line can vibrate and rust through causing a fuel line leak/rupture.

Fuel pump leaking gas while driving and stationary
Strong gas smell coming from underneath the vehicle and possible loss of fuel
The car smells like gas. When trying to start it h3sitates. Once started the smell of gasoline is overwhelming. I looked under the car and small drops of gas dropped. Turned off car and it stopped. When I went to drive we didn't see or smell anything. Then two days later the car was pouring out the gas from what looked like a clamp. The problem is this is a major issue! When we googled the issue hundreds of people have same issue!! One recall said cars with this leakage that was registered in certain states were covered yet our VIN wasn't . Not only a product issue but a design issue. Please lookl into this is dangerous. To many people can not afford 1000.00 to fix and are trying fix it in their own. This will cost some people their lives or someone else's. Companies should not determine which vins they recall the make year and model.should be fixed 100 percent. The federal safety agency should regulate this. Not com0anies!!
