So my car has been smelling like gas for the last week. Going to the dealer ship tomorow so they can do the recall work for the fuel pump and power steering. My question is if the smell is cause the fuel pump it will be fix but if its not say if its the fuel line will they fix it for free or charge me. Also my warranty expired like 13k miles ago or on 4\4\11 will they check my car for anything else i should know about? I also want to know if I'm gonna get a refund for never using my warranty cause i know the last cobalt when i traded it for this cobalt ss i got a refund for never using my warranty? Any help will be appreciated

 

If the cause of the smell is not what's covered by the recall, it won't be free, they'll call you and make sure you approve of getting the work done and are willing to pay for it.

 

ya they cant do any work without asking first. if they do, legally its free

 

What if its cause because of the fuel pump for some reason?

 

i could see them fixing whatever is causing the smell, if it relates to the fuel pump. but if you knicked a line, then your gonna have to pay

 

I dont think its a line cause i dont see any leak. I checked underneath but couldnt find anything but i can smell it and its getting worst.

 

well i dont own an lnf so i couldnt help you much more

 

Ok coo no problem thanks for your help

 

bump

 

The problem your having is the problem that I just fixed. There is feed and a return hose on to of the tank. I smelt gas for awhile and would loose pressure and the car would crank till pressure back up. I never had a leak that I could see. After dropping the fuel tank the whole top of the tank was covered in gas and waas dripping down onto my exaust and burning off before it hit the ground. After buying a new pump for $255. I asked about a recall and there wasn't one but it has been happening to slot of cobalts. Hope this helps...

 

ok coo then if thats whats happening they will let me know tomorow the huh if there not douche Thanks for the info thats very helpful.

 

I'm actually surprised my car didn't catch fire... Now there is a recall and I want to know if they will reimburse me for having to fix it myself...

 

well the chevy dealership up the street from my house sent me a post card saying that my car has 2 recalls and that there gonna change the fuel pump and power steering motor and that was it as far as i know. Yea i was worried cause i havent had a chance to take my car in till tmorow i been hoping my car didnt catch on fire too lol

 

Time to bust down on the dealer then... Thanks for the info...

 

i'll let you know what they say tomorow about the situation.

 

Thanks bud...

 

Car is at the dealership we'll see what happens now.

 

I believe they do reimburse you

 

ok Dealership fixed fuel pump and power steering motor. No more fuel smell either it was the fuel pump causing the smell.

 

How do I go about getting a reimbursement then???

 

go to your dealer and talk to them

 

Man I'm probably going to have to hold them down and tickle the **** out of them till I get my way!!! Lol

 

as long as you have the service record and receipt you should be good

 

I bought it myself and did the work myself. That change anything?

 

i think your fucked then lol. you can try
