| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V419000 ON OUR 2006 CHEVY COBALT (VIN [XXX]). WE SMELLED A STRONG FUEL SMELL AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (SANDS CHEVROLET GLENDALE AZ) FOR REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL. WE WERE DENIED SERVICE UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE PLASTIC SUPPLY PORT WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING FUEL AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. WE WERE CHARGED $673.48 TO REPAIR THE DANGEROUS DEFECT PLUS $134.24 FOR ANOTHER FUEL FILTER THEY SAID WE NEEDED. DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. IF THE DEALER WAS TELLING THE TRUTH THEN IT SEEMS THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. WE DON'T WANT TO SEE DRIVERS OF THE 2006 COBALT EXPOSED TO THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT AND FIRE HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
