Ok well a couple of you already know my cobalt has a pretty bad gas leak. I found out that GM did a recall on about 50,000 units a couple years ago a gas leak issue, so I had the dealer look up my vin and they told me that it's not recalled and there was absolutely nothing he could do to help so I went to different dealer and got the same response. I also contacted GM over the phone and he put it in the system and gave me a number stating that I had this issue, I also wrote the NHTSA a pretty lengthy letter.. But idk how else to get my issue fixed?? My car is currently at the shop now and I spoke to the mechanic the other day and he told me my car should have qualified for the recall cause it has the exact same issue. Its gonna cost me around $750 to fix it (mostly because the part needed is like $500 from dealer) so I am completely getting dicked! Oh and btw my car is a 2006, It was previously registered in Nevada and is currently registered in Arizona (it clearly states this in the recall)

Here is the recall info:

So my questions are:

How else can I get this resolved where I don't have to pay for something that should be replaced by the dealer?
or
Does anyone know of a place where I can get a new fuel module for a good price?


Thanks for you help
