Sorry that I feel let down by you and being dedicated to your products over the last 29 years I really am surprised by all the recent problems I have had.it would be great to hear why you show no concern to fix this problem.so they send my wife driving away with fuel leaking but not before collecting the diagnostics fee of course. all 3 of my gm vehicles I own have a recall right now and yet the fuel line witch I feel is more of a issue than any of the rest is not one of them. That’s terrible gm how many complaints there are on this and yet no concern from you.I really have been let down by gm over the last 5 years. So there are so many complaints about leaking fuel,gm acknowledged that it is dangerous and could cause a fire yet so many of the leaks are the fuel lines at the top of the tank were the fuel pump module is and the recall does not cover this.my 2008 had a strong gas odor and leaking at the top of the tank and just like everyone else I take it in pay the diagnostic fee and told it’s the line and for $900.00 we can fix it. All in all, a pretty straight forward procedure. A quick start up after repairs are made will double check to make sure no leaks are found. Installation of the gas tank back into the car, fuel line attachments, wiring connector attachments, fuel filler hose, etc…and it’s all done. The fuel level sensor has to be changed over to the new pump, and then with a new gasket, the new pump assembly is reinstalled into the gas tank and sealed with the lock ring. You have to remove the lock ring, then the pump assembly can be taken out. Once the tank is removed, it is a fairly simple process of changing over the pump.
2008 CHEVY COBALT GAS TANK FULL
Lifting a completely full gas tank is NOT something we mechanics are fond of doing, so do us a favor and run as much gas out of your vehicle before bringing it in! This is best done when the tank is at or near empty. The fuel tank has to be removed from the car to access the fuel pump area and replace it. To replace the fuel pump module is a bit involved, but not an entirely hard job. This new design has been corrected and will not leak any fuel.
2008 CHEVY COBALT GAS TANK FREE
An entire new design fuel pump module assembly will be installed free of charge to the customer. Luckily, General Motors knows about this issue and has come out with a product safety recall to correct this problem. Fires, explosions, and personal harm can come about if this problem is not corrected. This obviously is NOT supposed to happen and can be a very dangerous problem. Another problem on some of these cars is the fuel is actually making it’s way through the wiring connector or holes for the fuel lines. What is happening is that the top of the fuel pump assembly is losing it’s seal around the opening and fuel is escaping from around the lock ring when the tank is full or the fuel sloshes upward during turns, acceleration, bumps, etc. and is sealed with a large rubber gasket and a locking ring to hold it in place. The fuel pump on these cars is located inside the gas tank. The problem they are experiencing is a common issue on some of these vehicles. What the customers are complaining about is a fuel leak at the fuel tank area, or a strong smell of gasoline coming from under the car.
These are basically the same car, just different nameplates. Lately at the dealership we have seen another rash of problems on the Chevorlet Cobalt and Saturn Ion vehicles.
