Consumer Description

FUEL PUMP HARNESS CAUGHT FIRE. CONTACTED GM ABOUT 2012 RECALL THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT. EXPLAINED TO GM THAT THE MECHANIC THAT WORKED ON THE COBALT SAID FUEL HARNESS CAUGHT FIRE DO TO TOO MUCH POWER AT START UP. AND EXPLAINED TO GM THAT WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR THE WHEEL WOULD LOCK. GMWAS VERY RUDE ALL THE SAID WAS TAKE OTHER KEYS OFF RING AND WOULD NOT FIX AT THE TIME THE IGNITION. AND WOULDN'T REIMBURSE THE COST OF THE FUEL PUMP. THIS WAS THREE MONTHS AGO BEFORE RECALLS I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO GET THE IGNITION FIXED BUT DEALER WOULD NOT LOOK INTO WHY AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF AND ON WITHOUT ANYONE TOUCHING IT. *JS
