Consumer Description
I CONSTANTLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY 07 COBALT, EVERY TIME IT RAINS, OR IT'S WET OUT, THE ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AND GAS STARTS SPEWING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE CAUSING AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF SMOKE TO COME OUT, BUT WHEN IT DRIES UP, THE PROBLEM STOPS, ONLY TO RESTART AGAIN WHEN IT RAINS. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND ALSO PRIVATE SHOPS, AND CALLED G.M CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND NO ONE HAS ANY CLUE AS TO WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. THIS IS FUEL RELATED, AND IM WORRIED IT COULD CAUSE HARM TO ME, AND MY FAMILY IF NOT RESOLVED. SOMEHOW, WATER IS GETTING INTO THE FUEL LINE MAKING THIS HAPPEN AND NOBODY KNOWS HOW. IT EVEN HAPPENS WHEN I RUN THE A.C, WHEN THE MOISTURE FROM THE COMPRESSOR DRIPS DOWN. IT HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY TO FIND NO SOLUTION, ANY ADVICE, OR REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE TO FIX THIS WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED AND HELPFUL. *TR
