STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM

GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2010 CHEVROLET COBALT AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 PONTIAC G5 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. THE DRIVER MAY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST THAT COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING.

1. Fuel Leak 2. Fuel leaking in driveway, car has potential to catch fire if driven 3. Suspected leak and odor was reported 4 years ago. Dealer said the recall did not apply to my car. After receiving an email reply back from GMLegalUpdate department indicating they would cover the "fuel line" under special coverage, the dealer looked at the car. Dealer said they couldn't find any leak. Now the leak is very apparent when you start the car. Significant gas leaks onto the ground. After speaking to GM at 866-790-5600, GM says that my VIN No does not apply to the special coverage. Now they won't honor the letter. A service bulletin 12191B has been issued for this problem "regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage" but it seems from numerous posts GM pawns this problem off as the car's Vin No does not apply to their vehicle.

Not sure if ignition has ever been changed but I’ve been reading that there is a recall on my eps system as to that matter I have no power steering and would like to kno if it will be covered if I take it to gm dealership close to me

The airbag warning light came on having no prior issues with the car. The car was taken to the local GM dealer, [XXX]. Diagnostics have revealed the Passenger Presence Module may be defective and was not communicating with the SDM. The passenger airbag goes into default mode and turns the airbag off, posing a safety threat to a front passenger. This symptom first appeared August 2022. The vehicle had approximately 120,000 miles on it. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY 2008 G5 HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND SAW THAT 2008 G5'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR A FUEL LEAK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP MODULE BUT ONLY IN HOTTER STATES. I'M IN SC AND WE CERTAINLY SHOULD QUALIFY AS A HOTTER STATE WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 90'S IN THE SPRING. GM RECALLED THE '06 AND '07 G5'S IN SC FOR FUEL LEAKS SO THEY SHOULD RECALL THE '08 MODEL TOO SINCE IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM (RECALL 09V-419) MY CAR HAS ONLY 31,903 MILES ON IT SO I SHOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH THE COST OF REPAIRING AN ONGOING FUEL LEAK PROBLEM THAT GM HAS HAD WITH '06-'08 MODELS. MY MOTHER BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND DRIVEN VERY LITTLE. GM SHOULD REPAIR ALL THE 2008 G5'S THAT ARE LEAKING FUEL, NOT JUST THE ONES IN A SELECT FEW STATES. FUEL LEAKS ARE DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE IN ANY STATE.

STARTED TO SMELL A STRONG FUEL ODOR IN GARAGE. NOTICED ABOUT A FOOT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE DRIPPING GASOLINE FROM FUEL LINE NEXT TO THE PLASTIC CLIP THERE. THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST PIPE AND VERY DANGEROUS. WENT ONLINE AND SAW SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HOW THERE WAS AN ASSOCIATED RECALL BUT ONLY FOR 5-6 STATES. NOT SURE WHY ONLY THESE STATES WERE LISTED BUT IN LINE WITH MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THE PLASTIC CLIP HOLDING THOSE FUEL LINES WAS HOLDING SALT AND BRINE OF THE WINTER MONTHS AND CAUSING CORROSION AT THAT SPOT. TAKING THE CAR IN TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND AM FULLY EXPECTING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FUEL LINE AT $600-1000 SIMILARLY TO THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I SAW. IF THIS ISSUE WAS ALREADY RECALLED FOR SOME STATES THEN IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR ALL OF THEM AS IT IS CLEARLY AN ONGOING AND PERSISTENT ISSUE.
