CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Cobalt inherited most of the problems from the 2005 and 2006 model years, but toned them down (a bit). Sure, the power steering still fails and the car has a chance of going up in flames due to a cracked fuel tank, but it’s not as prevalent as the older models. At least not yet.

In 2012, the Cobalt was recalled for gas tank fires but only for owners in certain states.

Then in 2014, the 2007 Cobalt was part of a massive GM recall due to a defective ignition switch that could cause the airbags to not deploy during an accident. The problem led to 13 deaths, government investigations and multiple class-action lawsuits.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle, gasoline fuel fumes were emitted into the vehicle. The contact mentioned that after inspecting the vehicle she realized that there was a fuel leak. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump was cracked. As a result, the fuel pump and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 09V419000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 63,000.
