FUEL LINE RUSTED OUT CAUSING FUEL LEAKAGE. THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS FUEL LINES ALSO RETAINS SALT AND BRINE DEPOSITS AND IS OF POOR DESIGN CAUSING FUEL LINES TO RUST THROUGH ONE SPOT ONLY.

FUEL LINE RUSTED OUT CAUSING FUEL LEAKAGE. THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS FUEL LINES ALSO RETAINS SALT AND BRINE DEPOSITS AND IS OF POOR DESIGN CAUSING FUEL LINES TO RUST THROUGH ONE SPOT ONLY. IT IS LOCATED A FOOT IN FRONT OF REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE UNDERNEATH. ABOUT A INCH AWAY FROM EXHAUST. FUEL POURS OUT A STEADY DROP AND PUDDLES UNDERNEATH HOT EXHAUST. THIS IS NOT THE FUEL PUMP RECALL PROBLEM ALREADY LISTED. REPAIR COSTS $951.87 AT DEALERSHIP. LOOKING UNDERNEATH CAR ALL THE LINE WAS RUST FREE EXCEPT THIS FUEL BRACKET AREA. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE FUEL LEAKING ON TO PAVEMENT AND UNDER HOT EXHAUST. AS GAS EVAPORATES ITS FUMES COULD START A FIRE. A PERSON MAY DRIVE FOR MANY MILES WITHOUT NOTICING THE FUEL LEAKING. THE GAS FUMES ENTER THE INSIDE OF CAR. IF A PERSON SMOKES THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE EXPLOSION ALL FROM POOR DESIGN AND NO RECALL TO REPLACE FUEL LINE AND BRACKET. THE FUEL LEAK IS CONSTANT STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON STREET AND HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

CLOSE INSPECTION OF FUEL LINE, SHOWED IT TO BE THE FUEL RETURN LINE, THAT HAD RUSTED A SMALL HOLE DUE TO SHIELDING THAT WAS AROUND THE LINE IN THAT AREA RETAINING MOISTURE (SHIELDING WAS FIBERGLASS LOOKING IN APPEARANCE AND COVERED IN SILVER COVERING AND MOST LIKELY IS A HEAT SHIELD AS LIKE ARE ABOUT A FOOT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN AS IT RETAINS MOISTURE AROUND THE LINE CAUSING IT TO RUST. DEALER ESTIMATE TO REPAIR (REPLACING ENTIRE FUEL LINE WAS $700+. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS (CHEVY AND SATURN VERSIONS TOO) SUGGEST DEALERS RECALL THESE CARS AND REPLACE WITH STAINLESS FUEL LINES IF LINES ARE RUSTY.

NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE AFTER RETURNING FROM A TRIP TO THE STORE. LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AND SAW A PUDDLE OF FUEL FORMING ON DRIVERS SIDE IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE. LOOKED AT THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND SAW A STEADY FUEL LEAK COMING FROM THE FUEL LINE BENEATH THE SILVER HEAT SHIELD WRAP. I REMOVED THE WRAP TO FIND THAT THE FUEL LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AROUND THE PLASTIC MOUNTING CLIP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AS THE FUEL LINE RUN INCHES FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE HENCE THE MANUFACTURERS HEAT SHIELD WRAP ATTEMPTING TO SHIELD THE FUEL LINES FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN AS IT IS LOCATED JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. THE HEAT SHIELD WRAP GETS SATURATED FROM WATER FROM THE TIRE THEN HAS NO PLACE TO GO, ACCELERATING CORROSION. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED. REQUEST GM CORRECT THE DESIGN AND REPAIR MY VEHICLE THUS ELIMINATING FUTURE OCCURRENCES.

AFTER NOTICING A GASOLINE SMELL AND A PUDDLE COLLECTING UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN PARK, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP THEN INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SERIOUSLY LEAKING FUEL. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL LINE FROM THE TANK TO THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE PRICE TO REPLACE THIS PART IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AND I AM HIGHLY UPSET THAT NO ONE HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS PART WAS STARTING TO RUST FOR THE LAST YEAR. MY CAR IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A HIGHLY UNSAFE ISSUE THAT REQUIRES THE COMPANY TO DO A RECALL ON BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD BE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLE WHEN THERE IS A FUEL LEAK!!!! *JS

MECHANIC SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS AND CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR ISN'T A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HARMED MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN HAD A FIRE STARTED.

Official recalls
4Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092.
