TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD CONSUME MORE FUEL THAN NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

I HAVE READ RECALLS ON 2007 CHEVY COBALTS FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM HAVING A CRACK IN THE LINE CAUSING A FUEL LEAK, BUT THE RECALLS ARE FOR CERTAIN STATES. MY CAR WAS FIRST PURCHASED IN INDIANA-AUCTIONED IN OHIO. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY STATE THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE RECALL, BUT IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER RECALLS IN THE OTHER STATES. I THINK IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB ON COMMON POSTS RELATED PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE A RECALL. *TR

THE LEFT FRONT SPEAKER QUIT WORKING. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE TURN SIGNAL CHIME DID NOT WORK. WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL CHIMES (DOOR OPEN, KEY IN THE IGNITION, ETC) WAS NOT WORKING. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THE COBALT HAS A LONG HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE AND IT ALSO APPEARS THAT GM DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT. *TR

THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF LEAKING GASOLINE. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR A FUEL LEAK ON THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR, BUT NOT IN VIRGINIA!? NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V419000 COMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP THE DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER RECALL, SAYING IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN. MY CAR IS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM, AND WHAT STATE I AM IN SHOULD NOT EXCLUDE THEM FROM RESPONSIBILITY. THIS RECALL MUST BE EXTENDED TO ALL AFFECTED OWNERS IN EVERY STATE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED NOTHING BUT CHEVY CARS FOR 35 YEARS. I HAD 3 CAVALIERS THAT I CAN'T SAY ONE BAD WORD ABOUT. THIS COBALT STARTED CAUSING ME PROBLEMS IN 2012 AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE STEADILY. I STARTED SMELLING A STRONG SMELL OF GAS FOR A FEW WEEKS AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. WHEN I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, THEY TOLD ME THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD FIX IT. IT COST OVER 800.00 AND I HAVE NEVER HAD TO PUT THAT KIND OF MONEY INTO A VEHICLE. NOW MY STEREO SPEAKERS AND TURN SIGNAL BLINKER ARE SHUTTING OFF FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN COMING BACK FOR A FEW DAYS AND NO PATTERN ON HOW LONG IT STAYS OR GOES. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE STEREO AND TO MY SURPRISE I NOT ONLY FOUND A TON OF COMPLAINTS WORSE THAN MINE ABOUT THE STEREO (CARS 2005-2007- YOU THINK THEY WOULD HAVE GOT IT RIGHT AFTER 2 YEARS) BUT THERE WAS A RECALL IN NOV. 2012 FOR THE FUEL TANK MODULE (JUST 3 MONTHS AFTER MINE WENT UP). I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT OTHER THAN CONTACT GM BUT ACCORDING TO OTHER COMPLAINTS THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. THIS REALLY HAS CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT CHEVY. I SEE NOW THIS FORM REQUIRES A PHONE NUMBER SO HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL CONTACT ME ON THESE ISSUES AND CONVINCE ME THAT I WILL BUY ANOTHER CHEVY. THANK YOU FOR HAVING A FORM TO PLACE A COMPLAINT. *TR

M M THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. ..UPDATED 09-26-12 *BF UPDATED 10/1/2012*JS

NOTICED THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND GAS LEAKING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. A LARGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE WOULD BE LEFT UNDER THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT OR WHEN LEFT IDLING, EVEN IF ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT WAS DETERMINED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE LEAK WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP. READ ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR THE 07 CHEVROLET COBALT IN SEVERAL STATES. I CALLED CHEVROLET TO COMPLAIN BUT WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS REGISTERED IN MARYLAND. IT IS MY OPINION THAT CHEVROLET NEEDS TO OPEN THE RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL FAULTY FUEL PUMPS ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL VEHICLE AND NOT LIMIT THE RECALL TO SELECT STATES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN OVERPOWERING FUEL SMELL FROM THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE.

2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GAS TANK SPLITTING AT SEAMS.*TGW

ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY TURN ON WHEN STARTING. IT ALWAYS STARTS WHEN ATTEMPTING A SECOND TIME. A STRONG GAS ODOR WAS NOTICED BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AROUND THIS TIME. GM HAS RECALLED THIS VEHICLE (2007 CHEVROLET COBALT) IN 5 STATES ONLY, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED IN A TON OF STATES, INCLUDING VIRGINIA. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED A FAINT SMELL OF GAS AS I WOULD DRIVE THE CAR. OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 2 WEEKS, IT GOT SO STRONG I WOULD BE NAUSEOUS BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK. MY CAR ALSO HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND NOT THE DEALER DUE TO A BETTER PRICE FOR THE WORK. HE DISCOVERED A CRACK AND I HAD A FUEL LEAK, WHICH HE PROMPTLY FIXED. I HAVE THE RECEIPT AND DOCUMENTATION FOR THE WORK. NOW THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NOT IN MY STATE. IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO? SHOULD I NOTIFY GENERAL MOTORS OR WAIT AND SEE IF I DO GET A RECALL? ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY HER HUSBAND AND HE WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY LEAKS. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHO VERIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 12V459000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY: FUEL PUMP). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,664. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL PUMP ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT BEGAN LEAKING AUGUST, 2012. I CHECKED INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. I CONSULTED THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD RECALL WAS ONLY EFFECTIVE FOR COBALT VEHICLES SOLD IN CERTAIN SOUTHERN STATES. SINCE I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, I HAD PUMP REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. I PHONED CHEVROLET NATIONAL REP IN DECEMBER, 2012, TO QUESTION WHY FUEL PUMP WAS ONLY BEING RECALLED IN 'HOT WEATHER' STATES WHEN TEMPERATURES WERE CONSISTENTLY IN THE 90'S IN THE CHICAGO AREA IN THE SUMMER OF 2012. I WAS TOLD THAT CHEVROLET WAS LOOKING INTO THE MATTER AND WOULD LET ME KNOW THEIR DECISION BY THE END OF JANUARY, 2013. OF COURSE, I NEVER HEARD FROM NATIONAL CHEVY REP OR CHEVY DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT ISSUING A RECALL FOR ONLY CERTAIN STATES IS UNFAIR (DISCRIMINATORY?), ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PUMP PROBLEM I HAD WITH MY VEHICLE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. ALSO, IF THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO WARM TEMPERATURE (CLIMATE) SITUATIONS, I BELIEVE THE TEMPERATURES IN THE CHICAGO AREA IN THE SUMMER OF 2012 WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY MET THAT REQUIREMENT. AT MINIMUM, I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY @ $310.89. IDEALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE TOTAL COST OF REPLACING THE PUMP, WHICH WAS $577.32. LASTLY, I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT I'M NOTIFYING NHTSA OF THIS SITUATION BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WITH FUEL VISIBLY LEAKING FROM THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP, THE CHANCE OF THE VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE FROM A SPARK OR IMPACT IS DANGEROUSLY ELEVATED. I BELIEVE A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON ALL 2007 CHEVROLET COBALTS IS IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURRING FROM THIS SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT SMELLED AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS PARKED.

STARTED TO NOTICE DIFFICULTY WHEN TRYING TO START MY CAR AND THE VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHEN THE CAR WAS IN OPERATION AND FOR A PERIOD AFTER. I HAD AN INSPECTION DONE AT A GM DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME FUEL PUMP CRACKING. DESPITE RECALL 09V419000, WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE'S VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT BEGAN LEAKING FUEL WHICH SENT STRONG VAPORS INTO THE CAR CAUSING ME TO NEARLY FAINT. AFTER RESEARCHING 2007 CHEVY COBALT RECALLS, I FOUND THAT IT WAS RECALLED IN 2009 FOR A DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRES. WHEN I NOTIFIED TWO DIFFERENT TUCSON CHEVY DEALERSHIPS OF THIS DEFECT AND REQUESTED IT BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY, BOTH TURNED ME AWAY SAYING MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, THOUGH IT IS THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. I EVEN TOOK IN FORMS PROVING THAT THE RECALLS FOR THE 2007 CHEVY COBALT DID NOT STATE IT IS ONLY ON CERTAIN ONES. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT WAS PURCHASED NEW FEBRUARY 2007. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 24,800 MILES ON IT WHEN I STARTED SMELLING GAS IN JULY OF THIS YEAR 2012, THIS YEAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO GET A OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A LEAK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BY A MECHANIC. THAT IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WENT HOME AND CHECKED ON LINE ABOUT GAS LEAKS ON A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE MODEL CARS IN 2010. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS SITUATION. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE STATE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE(IN MARYLAND) WAS NOT ONE OF THE STATES FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED MY NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALER AND TOLD HIM OF THIS PROBLEM BUT I WAS INFORMED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!! THE FUEL PUMP WAS CRACKED AND IT WAS THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECTED PART. A FUEL PUMP FOR THIS TYPE OF CAR SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 60,000 MILES. I BABYSIT FOR A LIVING AND THERE IS A SMALL CHILD IN MY VEHICLE ALMOST EVERYDAY. THIS COULD OF CAUSED SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES OVER GM'S NEGLECT. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY I PARKED MY CAR FOR 2 MONTHS UNTIL I HAD THE MONEY TO PAY FOR GM'S PROBLEM. SO NOW I AM OUT OF MONEY TO HAVE SOMETHING FIXED THAT WAS NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I FEEL GM SHOULD REIMBURSE EVERYONE WHO HAD THIS PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF WHAT STATE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN. I AM INFORMING ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF THIS AND TELLING THEM NEVER TO BUY A GM CAR. THIS IS A TERRIBLE WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER. *TR

A LEAK OCCURRED IN THE FUEL LINES ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. SOME 2007 CHEVROLET COBALTS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. IT SEEMS THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT THE FAULTY PARTS WHICH CAUSED THE RECALL WERE INSTALLED IN THIS COBALT. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO FIRE BECAUSE OF THE LEAKING FUEL, BUT THE POSSIBILITY WAS THERE. ALL COBALTS WITH THE FAULTY PARTS SHOULD HAVE THEM REPLACED BY GENERAL MOTORS. *TR

FUEL STARTED LEAKING FROM ABOVE THE PLASTIC GAS TANK. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CAR REPAIR GARAGE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A CRACKED SUPPLY LINE TO THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. IT APPEARED TO BE A FATIGUE FAILURE. A NEW GM PUMP ASSY WAS INSTALLED AT A COST OF $600. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN OKLAHOMA AND STILL HAS OKLAHOMA PLATES. UPON SEARCHING FOR A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, I LOCATED THE RECALL BUT GM CUT IT OFF AT 19000 VEHICLES BEFORE MINE. THEY MUST HAVE ASSUMED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT APPARENTLY THE FIX DID NOT WORK ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT ARE STILL COMING IN. I AM GLAD I DID NOT PARK THE CAR IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE OR THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FIRE STARTED FROM THE STRONG FUMES CREATED BY THE LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL BEING FORCED OUT OF THE SUPPLY TUBE WHICH IS UNDER PRESSURE FROM THE PUMP. GM WILL NOT COVER THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE THE VIN # LIES OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLES COVERED IN THEIR RECALL. *TR *JS

OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS WAS SMELLING GAS FROM UNDER MY HOOD . SO I CHECKED RECALLS AND FOUND OUT THAT A CERTAIN VIN NUMBER WAS RECALLED ON SOME 2007 COBALTS WHICH WAS NOT MY VIN. BUT IT ALSO INCLUDED SAYING THAT MY CAR WHICH CAME FROM ONE OF THE STATES THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER REPLACING PART BUT WOULD CHARGE A FEE TO FIX IT. THEY WOULD HONOR BUT UPON CALLING MY GM DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE CAR SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL BUT I INFORMED THEM I FOUND IT ON THE SAME SIGHT IN WHICH I HAD MY STEERING FIXED FROM A RECALL AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL THEN I ALSO CALLED THE GM MAIN NUMBER AND THEY REFUSED A RECALL EVEN THOUGH I SAID THERE WAS AND WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT THERE IS DOCUMENT OF FIRES FROM THE VEHICLE THAT STARTS FROM THE IGNITION AND MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN MY VEHICLE SO TO ME LOSS OF LIFE IS NOT WORTH THERE EXCUSES WHEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING FIRES HOPE I GET SOME RESPONSE TO MAYBE MAKE SURE NOBODY DIES FROM THIS PROBLEM. *JS

THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPEN IN 2012 AND CAUSED A CRASH. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND NEEDED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE BRAKES AND IT DID NOT STOP ME. I COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL EITHER SO I COULD NOT AVOID HITTING THE LADY IN FRONT OF ME. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST AND EVERYONE WAS OKAY. WHILE EXCHANGING INSURANCE INFORMATION, I NOTICED MY KEYS WERE IN THE FLOOR BOARD OF MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT, BECAUSE WHEN IT CAME OUT OF THE SHOP IT SEEMED JUST FINE. THEN, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK IN 2013 AND MY KNEE BUMPED MY KEY RING AND THEY FELL TO THE FLOOR. I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN OR SWITCH LANES. I GOT A SPEEDING TICKET. THEN IN NOVEMBER, 2013, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS THE FIRST TIME WHICH CAUSED A WRECK. I COULD NOT STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND REAR ENDED A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS BARELY MOVING WHATSOEVER THOUGH, SO I GOT LUCKY AGAIN. RECENTLY, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE AUTOVBODY SHOP IN TOWN AND HAD TO PAY 800 DOLLARS TO GET THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THAT CAR AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT MANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THE VEHICLE AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A SINGLE ONE. APPARENTLY GM WAS SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY OWNERS WITH THEIR REGISTRATION INFORMATION. MY REGISTRATION JUST CAME UP FOR RENEWAL AS OF MAY 1ST AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OR INSTRUCTED WHAT TO DO. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT NOW WHERE I DUCT TAPE MY KEY SO THAT IT WILL NOT COME OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING. I LIMIT MY DRIVING TO NECESSITY TRAVEL BECAUSE I AM TOO AFRAID THAT SOMETHING ELSE, POSSIBLY WORSE, THAN WHAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED THUS FAR. *TR

I AM IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA WHERE THE WEATHER IS 104'. I BEGAN TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND PARKED MY CAR IN A GARAGE WHERE I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS. THEN AS THE DAYS WENT ON I SMELLED THE GAS STRONGER AND FUMES. I WAS RIDING MY LITTLE 1 YEAR OLD COUSIN AROUND WHEN I NOTICED A GAS LEAK FROM THE CAR. HE THEN BEGAN TO COUGH AND I IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED VEHICLES FOR HIS SAFETY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COBALTS HAD A RECALL ON FUEL SYSTEMS BUT MINE WAS NOT COVERED. I DID HAVE A POWER WHEEL STEERING RECALL WHICH I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I DIDN'T HAVE A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WOULD THINK THEY MESSED UP BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. I NEED THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE HEAT IS RISING OUTSIDE AND THE GAS IS ACTUALLY SPILLING FROM THE TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FIX IF THE MANUFACTURER CREATED SO MANY. *TR

STARTED NOTICING A STRONG FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE OF MY 2007 COBALT AND IT QUICKLY GOT WORSE AND EVENTUALLY HAD SUCH A STRONG ODOR INSIDE MY CAR THAT I HAD TO KEEP THE WINDOW CRACKED ANY TIME I WAS IN MY CAR. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK AND I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACED. I WAS VERY UPSET THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT VERY ISSUE BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO A COUPLE OF STATES. THEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER REPAIRS ARE MADE ON MY CAR THE RECALL IS EXTENDED TO INCLUDE A HANDFUL MORE STATES BUT STILL MISSOURI WAS NOT INCLUDED SO I CAN NOT GET REIMBURSED FOR MY EXPENSE. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT; YET I HAD TO COME UP WITH ALMOST $600 TO TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF BECAUSE I DO NOT LIVE IN ONE OF THE COVERED STATES. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW WHY THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE IN THOSE STATES ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN MYSELF AND MANY OTHER AFFECTED OWNERS. *TR
