THIS CAN OFTEN REPEAT ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS NEVER OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEEDS, MOSTLY OCCURS IN PARKING LOTS WHEN TURNING. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL FROM GM REGARDING THIS BUT MY VIN SAYS IT DOES NOT APPLY.

The contact related the failure to NHTSA Action Number: PE20011 (Fuel System, Other). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

SMELLED STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE. . UPON INSPECTION FOUND CONSIDERABLE FUEL LEAK. CAUSE WAS STEEL FUEL LINE CORRODED IN THE VICINITY OF DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL ALONG FRAME RAIL. WAS ABLE TO REPAIR RUSTED FUEL LINE. IT WILL NEED A COMPLETE NEW LINE AT LATER DATE.

YESTERDAY MORNING I WENT OUT TO WARM UP THE CAR BEFORE HEADING OUT AND NOTICED A GOOD PUDDLE OF WATER UNDER MY CAR. I SMELLED THE FLUID AND FOUND IT TO BE ANTIFREEZE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FOUND IT TO BE A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE. BEING ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN IN THE FACTORY JOINT, WHERE THE LINE IS LIKE WELDED TOGETHER DURING MANUFACTURING. I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF RESULTS DESCRIBING MY VERY PROBLEM. I CAN'T EVEN COUNT HOW MANY DESCRIBE THE SAME SCENARIO, GOING OUT AFTER THE HARDEST FREEZE, WATER PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR WITH ANTIFREEZE IN IT AND TRIP TO SHOP, DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE! AS THOUGH ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE WERE LIVING MY LIFE AT THAT MOMENT.I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE MINOR COMPARED TO THIS! IT IS GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO $300.00 TO FIX THIS VERY, VERY COMMON PROBLEM RIGHT HERE AT CHRISTMAS WITH 2 CHILDREN TO PROVIDE FOR. SEVERAL OF CUSTOMERS WHO REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM DID SAY THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THEIR PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN POOR MANUFACTURING OF THIS PART! I CAN ONLY HOPE I GET SO LUCKY. OR THAT THE NHTSA PICKS THIS UP AND PUTS A RECALL ON THIS VERY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

IM A GRANDMOTHER ON MY OWN WITH A PART TIME JOB AND HAVE NO MONEY LEFT FOR REPAIRS OR TO START ALL OVER.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LUNGED FORWARD, LOST POWER, AND THE POWER TRAIN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD ABNORMAL NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD TO CHECK FOR LEAKS; HOWEVER, NONE WERE FOUND. THE CONTACT DROVE HOME AT VERY LOW SPEEDS AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. MCCLUSKEY AUTOMOTIVE (8525 READING RD, CINCINNATI, OH 45215, (513) 421-1111) WAS CONTACTED AND A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

FUEL LINE RUSTED ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AND BURST WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. FUEL PUMP SHORTED OUT AND DIED WHILE DRIVING A FEW MONTHS LATER.

WHILE STATIONARY AFTER DRIVING A STRONG FUEL ODOR IS PRESENT AROUND THE VEHICLE AND FUEL IS DRIPPING TO THE GROUND FROM IN FRONT OF THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THE SAME CONDITION IS COMMON ON EARLIER YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED I NOTICE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. CHECKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED FLUID LEAKING WHAT APPEARS TO BE GASOLINE. LEAK IS LOCATED ON DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE REAR TIRE. ALSO IT APPEARS THAT A WORN FUEL LINE IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK

ONCE CAR WARMS UP, WHILE DRIVING, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PAST SECOND (2ND) GEAR, AND WILL ALLOW RED LINING WITHOUT SHIFTING UP A GEAR. WHEN TRYING TO PARK, THE SHIFTER WILL NOT ALLOW SHIFTING INTO PARK, AND THE VEHICLE WILL PULL AWAY UNDER THE POWER OF ITS OWN IDLE IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED, MAKING LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK SHIFTER WILL BECOME STUCK IN THE PARKING GEAR. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATING AND INDICATING THE GEAR IN WHICH THE SHIFTER IS IN POSITION OF GOES OUT, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF THE VEHICLE IS ACTUALLY IN PARK OR REVERSE ESPECIALLY COUPLED WITH THE SHIFTER NOT GOING FULLY INTO THE PARKING GEAR. WHEN THE SHIFTER DOESN'T QUITE MOVE INTO THE PARKING GEAR IT CAUSES THE DOORS TO STAY LOCKED AND SOMETIMES MAKES THE MANUAL LOCKS DIFFICULT TO USE IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES THE ELECTRONIC LOCKS COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. ALSO, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD CHEVY NOT PUT A ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IN THE DASH CLUSTER? HOW ARE DRIVERS SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF THE ENGINE IS OVERHEATING, WAIT UNTIL THE ENGINE BLOWS UP WITH THE DRIVER TRAPPED INSIDE???

AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I SMELLED FUEL AND NOTICED A WET SPOT ON THE GROUND. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. THE FUEL LINE HAD WORN THROUGH WHERE A SHACKLE WAS HOLDING THE FUEL LINE TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR.

WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER A SECOND TIME.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.
