NHTSA Complaint #11171244 — 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT

2 FUEL LEAKS REQUIRED EXTENSIVE & EXPENSIVE WORK: #1: FUEL LINE RUSTED COMPLETELY IN AREAS WHERE CLAMPS ATTACHED FUEL LINE TO CAR BODY ALONG DRIVER'S SIDE-FRONT 2 BACK. #2- PLASTIC 'L'-SHAPED PIECES CONNECTING FUEL LINES TO FUEL PUMP@GAS TANK DEVELOPED CRACKS. BOTH ISSUES CAUSED FUEL LEAKS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING CREATING EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD-ESPECIALLY BCUZ GAS LEAKS WERE DIFFICULT TO DETECT WHILE CAR IN MOTION EXCEPT FOR SOME GAS FUMES. GAS PUDDLES ONLY OCCUR IF IDLING IN 1 PLACE - OTHERWISE IT WAS ALL 'BLOWBACK' WHILE MOVING & HAD THE FUEL LINE NOT NEEDED REPLACED THE L-PIECES CRACKS MAY OF GONE UNNOTICED UNTIL COMPLETE FAILURE BECAUSE FUMES & LEAKS BLOW AWAY WHILE DRIVING... WE ARE LUCKY TO NOT HAVE EXPLODED CUZ WE SMOKE &/OR ANY SPARK COULD'VE CAUSED A BOOM!
