Arrow Warranty, Recall Question

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.

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

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...
