The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.

IGNITION SWITCH WAS SAID TO BE THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR YEARS 2005-2010 .IGNITION SWITCH SAFETY ISSUE. STARTER MOTOR IS GOOD. BATTERY IS GOOD. ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. WILL NOT CRANK OR START.

THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND SHUTDOWN WHILE TRAVERSING RT 287 NEAR BOONTON AT SPEEDS AROUND 65. I COASTED OFF AN EXIT AND CAME TO A STOP AT PARK AVE AND WOOTTON ST. WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY VEHICLE TO COOL DOWN SO I COULD EITHER FIX/CONTINUE DRIVING, IT HAD BECOME APPARENT THAT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAD STARTED TO COMBUST. NOTICEABLE BY THE SOUND OF THE FIRE. THAT LEFT ME RUSHING TO EMPTY OUT THE VEHICLE OF BELONGINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY ENGULFED INTO FLAMES. NOTE THAT PRIOR TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING LIGHTS NOR INDICATORS HAD TURNED ON. WHEN VEHICLE OVERHEATED THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THAT WAS ALL UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY ON FIRE AND HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF. *TR

STARTED LAST WEEK. AFTER PARKING THE CAR, NOTICED A SMELL AND UPON CHECKING, NOTICED A POOL OF GAS UNDER THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AREA (UNDER PASSENGER SEAT). IT LEAKS FOR 10 MINUTES AND STOPS. LEAK STARTS ONLY WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. *TR

FUEL LINES RUSTED OUT BY REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE THE FUEL JUST POURS OUT WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON

THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 46,134 ACTUAL MILES. I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A CHEVROLET DEALER AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND AFTER I STOPPED THE CAR, I SMELLED GASOLINE AND ABOUT A PINT OF GAS LEAKED OUT OF THE GROUND JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEELS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS PARKING IN THE OPEN DRIVEWAY AND NOT IN MY GARAGE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LICENSED MECHANIC AND HE WAS ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. IT IS BACK ON THE ROAD. I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT OTHER COBALT OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ENCOURAGE YOUR DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS AS A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM THAN JUST ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE UPLOADED THE BILL FOR REPAIRS. $952.09. THANK YOU, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC
