NHTSA Complaint #11343365 — 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT

ONE YEAR AGO I WAS EXPERIENCING A FUEL LEAK NEAR MY REAR LEFT WHEEL, CLOSE TO WHERE THE LINE CONTACTED THE MOUNTING BLOCK. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, AND I NEEDED TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED BEFORE MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE, OBVIOUSLY. SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC (BECAUSE I AM A STUDENT AND COULDN'T AFFORD THEIR $1300 ESTIMATE) AND THEY REPAIRED IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT MODEL 2008 AND 2009 COBALTS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR THIS EXACT LEAK. MY CAR IS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT AND IT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM DETAILED IN THE COMPLAINT FOR THE 2008/2009 MODELS. I WOULD LIKE TO IMPRESS THE NHTSA TO EXPAND THE INVESTIGATION TO THE EARLIER MODELS, INCLUDING THE 2007 COBALT
