Chevrolet Cobalt Fuel System, Gasoline Safety Report | Aug 19, 2011
Reported on Aug 19, 2011
| I EXPERIENCES FIRST A GAS ODOR IN MY VEHICLE THAT WAS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I THEN WAS ABLE TO SEE A VISIBLE GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK OF MY VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN CONCLUDED THAT THE CAP ON THE FUEL TANK HAS MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM AND I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE HOWEVER ONLY IN SPECIFIC STATES. THEREFORE, IT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE WAS A FACTORY ISSUE INVOLVING THIS YEAR OF CHEVY COBALT. I WILL LIKELY BE PAYING AROUND $600 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS IN ORDER TO KEEP MY VEHICLE IN DRIVING CONDITION. *TR | |
