TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WITH THE FUEL TANK AT HALF FULL, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL EXHAUST FUMES ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. STOKES AUTOMOTIVE LOCATED AT 86 PEACH TOWER RD, CLANTON, AL 35045 (205) 755-3700, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS EXCEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE LEAK WAS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF A PLASTIC FITTING ON THE PRIMARY FUEL TANK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,750.

SMELL GAS FUMES WHILE DRIVING OVER 1/2 TANK

MY VEHICLE WITH 85,000 MILES BEGAN EMMITING A CONTINUOUS RAW GAS SMELL WHEN I REFILL THE FUEL TANK. SMELL IS COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE, REAR, WHEEL WELL. SMELL IS INTENSE TO THE POINT I CANNOT STORE INSIDE THE GARAGE AS I FEAR A FIRE HAZARD AND A TOXIC SMELL IS COMING INTO MY HOUSE INTERIOR. SMELL SEEMS TO END ONCE FUEL LEVEL GOES BELOW 1/2 FULL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS DOWN A HILL THE BRAKES AND SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM SPONTANEOUSLY ENGAGED. IN ADDITION, WHILE IN REVERSE THE BRAKES ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. *DT*JB

WHEN I MOVE THE STERRING WHEEL COMPLETELY TO THE LEFT THE CAR HAVE AND INTERRUPTION AND PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM MESSAGE APPEARS

RECENTLY WHEN I MADE A TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC THE CORVETTE STEERING DID NOT RETURN TO CENTER I ALMOST HIT HE VEHICLE AT THE STOP SIGN !!!!!! I ALSO NOTICE THE ABS LIGHT ON

GAS TANK IS LEAKING A LOT

THE POWER STEERING HIGH PRESSURE LINE LEAKS IN MULTIPLE PLACES THROUGH A SHORT CANVAS REINFORCED RUBBER SEGMENT ON MY 2006 CORVETTE, NOT THROUGH ANY CRIMPED FITTINGS, O-RINGS, ETC. THE HIGHER THE RPM, THE FASTER IT LEAKS. IT SPRAYS ON THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST. THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE (USED), BEING THE HOSE ITSELF IS HARD TO SEE, THE LEAK WAS SMALLER THEN, AND IT HAD A CORRUGATED PLASTIC TUBING WRAPPED AROUND IT FOR ABRASION PROTECTION, DIVERTING THE LEAKS. NOW IT'S LEAKING BADLY. THE HOSE IS BENT IN A CURVE, AND THE LEAKS ARE ALL ALONG THE OUTER PERIMETER (STRETCHED) SIDE OF THE HOSE. I DISCOVERED THE REPLACEMENT STEEL LINE HAS BEEN REDESIGNED TO A LONGER UNIT WITH TWO STRAIGHT RUBBER SECTIONS THAT MUST BE REROUTED, WHICH TOLD ME THE ORIGINAL HAD A DESIGN FLAW THAT LED TO FAILURES. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, AND THERE IS, BUT ODDLY MY VIN SEEMS TO 'NOT BE INCLUDED'. RECALL #05V455000 IS DATED 10/5/2005, AND THE DATE MY CAR WAS BUILT IS 09/05 ACCORDING TO THE DOOR DECAL. THE RECALL STATES: 'CONSEQUENCE: IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD BE LOST AND INCREASED STEERING EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED. ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH HYDRO-BOOST POWER BRAKES, IT COULD ALSO RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER BRAKE ASSIST AND INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT WOULD BE REQUIRED. IF THE POWER STEERING FLUID SPRAY WERE TO SPRAY ONTO HOT ENGINE PARTS, AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE COULD OCCUR.' THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS MY VIN IS NOT EFFECTED,

THE SHIFTER IS CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION WITH A 4 FOOT CABLE, THIS CABLE IS HOUSED IN THE DRIVE SHAFT TUNNEL, THE CABLE HAS A PLASTIC BUSHING ON BOTH ENDS, THE HEAT IN THE TUNNEL BAKES THE PLASTIC BUSHING THAT CONNECTS THE SHIFTER TO THE TRANSMISSION CABLE, MY BUSHING BROKE INTO PIECES AND THE CAR COULD NOT SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF GEAR. MANY CORVETTES IN THE C5,C6 & C7 MODES HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND ARE FAILING EVERYDAY. MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE IN PARK, I HAD DRIVEN IT EARLIER IN THE DAY, I STARED THE CAR AND THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE, BUT THE PLASTIC BUSHING HAD BROKEN INTO PIECES DUE TO THE HEAT FAILURE. I KNOW OF THE HAPPENING TO 4 OTHER CORVETTES AND THE SHOP I TOOK MY CAR TO WAS RECEIVING OTHER CALLS ON THE SAME ISSUE.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING

CAR WILL REFUSE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK DURING NORMAL START. CAR WILL REFUSE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK WHEN IN ACC MODE. PROBLEM IS NON DETERMINISTIC AND MAY BE RELATED TO VOLTAGES AND/OR RESISTANCES AND/OR FAULTY PARTS IN SYSTEM. CAR IS RENDERED NON-OPERABLE AND REQUIRES TOWING OR REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO RELEASE GEAR TRAIN OVER A VARIABLE PERIOD OF TIME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT NOT ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER

AS OF DECEMBER 2018, ALL CARS WITH NAVIGATION SYSTEMS THAT HAVE AN INCORPORATED CLOCK, CLOCKS STOPPED WORKING, THE REASON IS SUPPOSABLY DUE TO A CHANGE IN THE GOVERNMENT SATELLITE TECHNOLOGY. SO THERE IS NO WAY TO CORRECT THIS WITHOUT A SOFTWARE FIX, THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY ON THE 2006 CORVETTE, BUT MANY OTHER CARS AS WELL

FUEL SYSTEM LEAK FROM TANK AND OR FUEL PUMP. CAR CRANKS, WONT START, STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM TANK. MOSTLY HAPPENS AFTER FILLING TANK AND AT TIMES WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID FAILS, PREVENTING TRANS. TO LOCK INTO PARK AND OR CAN'T PLACE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. GM CORRECTED THIS CONDITION STARTING WITH VIN NUMBER 75405780, VIN NUMBERS BEFORE THAT STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS SAFETY CONDITION

SHIFTER STIFF AND IS VERY HARD TO SHIFT INTO GEAR ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

LS7 ENGINE MAKES LOUD "TICKING" SOUND AT IDLE TO ~ 2,000 RPM CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE CYLINDER HEADS WHICH WERE IMPROPERLY MACHINED BY GM'S SUBCONTRACTOR. LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERS SAID THE NOISE IS "NORMAL"... BUT WHEN HEADS OPENED AND VALVE AND VALVE GUIDES MEASURED, EXCESSIVE VALVE AND VALVE GUIDE WEAR DOCUMENTED. LOCAL GM DEALER & $4,350 GM PROTECTION PLAN (EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I HAD TO BUY TO COVER THIS $5,000 REPAIR) REFUSED TO REPAIR SO I HAD TO DRIVE IT 5 HOURS TO ANOTHER GM DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED UNDER MY GMPP EXTENDED WARRANTY. MANY OTHER 2006 TO 2015 CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EXCESSIVE VALVE WEAR INCLUDING SOME OWNERS VALVES BREAKING AND DESTROYING THEIR $16,000 LS7 MOTORS WHILE SPEWING OIL AND METAL EVERYWHERE. THIS ALSO RESULTED IN A FEAR OF DRIVING THIS CAR, A SIGNIFICANT "DIMINISHMENT OF VALUE" OF THIS VEHICLE, AND COMPLICATED ITS RESALE (BUYERS HAD HEARD ABOUT THESE CATASTROPHIC LS7 MOTOR FAILURES.

I SMELL GAS AFTER FILLING UP. GOES AWAY AFTER THE TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL. SPOKE WITH OTHER C6 CORVETTE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT HAS TO DO WITH A FAULTY GAS TANK FILLER CAUSE BY PLASTIC PARTS OF THE NECK FILLER CRACKING.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY DURING NORMAL DRIVING. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE. AIR BAG LIGHT WILL TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY DURING NORMAL DRIVING WITH NO EXPLANATION.

I SMELL GAS COMING FROM MY GAS TANK, ESPECIALLY AFTER A FILLUP. THE CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED. NO SPILLAGE OCCURS WHEN FILLING UP BUT YET THE SMELL PERSISTS UNTIL I GET BELOW A HALF A TANK. OTHERS IN THE CORVETTE WORLD WHO OWN A C6 CORVETTE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING AND HAVE DISCOVERED IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY SEAL IN BETWEEN THE TANK AND FILLER, PERHAPS THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD.

EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE CAR THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL BY THE CAR THAT LINGERS FOR A LONG TIME.

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND WHEN GETTING BACK INTO THE CAR I NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR, SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN IN THE RAIN. THE SMELL WAS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I JUST LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE C6 CORVETTE. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING, CONSIDERING MANY OF US PARK OUR CARS IN GARAGES WITH PILOT LIGHTS AND OTHER SOURCES OF SPARK/FLAME. I'LL BE CONTACTING GM.

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE AND IT HAS A PART THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING. THE DASH CONTROL UNIT (PART # 25938052) IS FLASHING, WHICH MY CHEVROLET DEALER TELLS ME IT IS GOING TO FAIL. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE, AS I COULD LOOSE MY DEFROSTER CAPABILITY, FRONT AND BACK WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE VISITED 5 DIFFERENT GM DEALERS AND THEY ALL SAY THE PART IS EITHER BACK ORDERED OR DISCONTINUED. I CAN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. SINCE THIS PART WAS INSTALLED IN CORVETTES UP TO 2012 MODEL YEAR, I FIND CHEVROLETS INDIFFERENCE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE DISTURBING. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET ONLINE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY RECENTLY CUT ME OFF AND HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO E-MAILS. I HAVE HEARD ANECDOTALLY, THAT CHEVROLET HAS MANY PARTS "BACK-ORDERED" WINK, WINK. THEY KEEP TRYING TO SELL ME A NEW CAR, BUT WHY WOULD I BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM WITH THIS BEHAVIOR? THE PART STILL WORKS FOR NOW, BUT IT BLINKS CONSTANTLY AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO FAIL. ISN'T GM REQUIRED BY LAW TO SELL REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A REASONABLE TIME?

SMELL FUEL AFTER FILLLUP

MY AUTOMATIC SHIFTER GETS STUCK IN PARK. I ALREADY HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE SHIFTER A FEW YEARS AGO BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. ONCE I START THE CAR, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT TELL THE SHIFTER TO UNLOCK AND THEREFORE I CAN NOT GET IT IN GEAR. I HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT SEVERAL TIME. IT MAY TAKE LESS THAN 1 MINUTE TO ENGAGE WHILE AT OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE 5 MINUTES. I HAVE READ IN THE CORVETTE FORUM THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW CORVETTE OWNERS. THIS IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY THAN BEFORE.

4/2015 CAR WAS AT DEALERSHIP FOR BODY WORK, WHILE IT WAS THERE, RECALL WORK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, GM RECALL 123146, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS DONE AND IT WAS REPORTED TO GM AS "WORK DONE" FAST FORWARD TO 8/2018 CAR WAS DRIVEN AT NIGHT AND LOSS OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WAS EXPERIENCED, SAME THING HAPPENED NEXT DAY. THESE ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL BEFORE "THE FIX" UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FUSE BOX AND I HAVE PICTURES OF WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE WHEN THE FIX IS DONE.

OVERWHELMING FUEL ODOR AFTER SHUTTING CAR OFF AND HOUSING IT IN THE GARAGE OR OUTSIDE. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE IN SUMMER WHEN ETHANOL IS ADDED TO FUEL - HEAVY SMELL OF NAIL POLISH REMOVER INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. FUEL VAPOR LEAK FROM GAS TANK REQUIRES $2,678.87 REPAIR. FUEL VAPOR BUILDUP INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND/OR GARAGE AND HOUSE ARE A FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS A HEALTH HAZARD. OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF SIMILAR PROBLEM ON THE CORVETTE FORUM. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THIS COMPONENT ON ALL C6 CORVETTES. *BF *TR

3 DAYS AGO I FILLED UP MY C6 AT THE GAS STATION AND EVER SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN I VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND IT HAS YET TO GO AWAY EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN IT STILL SMELLS LIKE GAS

STRONG GAS FUEL ODOR COUPE INTERIOR AND OUTSIDE LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL

DRIVERS AIRBAG RED LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL STAYS ON FREQUENTLY. MOST OF THE TIME IT STAYS LIT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. I HAVE HAD IT POP ON AFTER HITTING A BUMP A COUPLE TIMES.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR THE OTHER DAY AND ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION AND FILLED MY CAR UP TO 3/4 OF A TANK. WHEN I GOT HOME THERE WAS A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS COMING INTO THE CAR. I PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING THE SMELL WAS UNBEARABLE. I HAVE IT AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW HAVING IT LOOKED AT. I JUST SAW A FORUM WITH SOMEONE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND SENT ME TO THIS LINK. IS THIS A RECALL? ALSO THE SMELL IS STRONG AT ALL TIMES DRIVING/PARKED/IDOLING

MY AUTOMATIC SHIFTER JAMMED IN THE D LOCATION AND WOULD ONLY GO TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR PARK, AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE BUTTON, THIS SHIFTER HAS JAMMED IN PARK IN THE PAST. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 26K MILES ON IT. AND IS NOT DRIVEN IN BAD WEATHER. NOT A GOOD FEELING TO BE TRAPED IN YOUR CAR.

2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT IN PARK OR REVERSE AND DRIVE. MALFUNCTION CAR WAS IN TRAFFIC

I RECENTLY (JAN 6, 2018), NOTICED A VERY DISTINCT GASOLINE SMELL IN MY GARAGE AND AROUND MY 2006 CORVETTE. THERE IS NO SPOTTING BENEATH THE CAR. THE ODOR HAS ITS STRONGEST CONCENTRATION IN THE AREA NEAR THE FILLER DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL AREA). I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR EXACTLY THREE YEARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS SMELL HAS BEEN PRESENT. IT IS VERY PERVASIVE AND DEFINITELY GASOLINE. THE FUMES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND THIS CONDITION IS VERY DISCONCERTING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS ON CORVETTE FORUMS AND ON YOU TUBE, THAT HIGHLIGHT THIS ONGOING PROBLEM WITH EARLY C6 CORVETTES (2005-2008). I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM, BUT THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT GASOLINE IS SPRAYING OUT OF THE SEALS AND CERTAIN PLASTIC HOSE CONNECTIONS RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK, AND, OR, AROUND THE FUEL PUMP AND POSSIBLY THE CROSSOVER TUBE. GASOLINE "PUDDLES" ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK OR IS CAUGHT BY THE TANK SHIELD BENEATH THE TANK...THUS NO SPOTTING UNDER THE CAR. THE FUMES AND THE LIQUID ARE A MAJOR FIRE DANGER...BOTH IN A STATIONARY GARAGE SETTING OR WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION, WHERE GASOLINE WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO IGNITE ON A HOT SURFACE SUCH AS THE EXHAUST.

I GOT A SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING LIGHT THAT CAME ON THE DASH TWO DAYS AGO, AND WENT AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR A FEW TIMES. WHILE I WAS DRIVE YESTERDAY AND DOING ABOUT 70 MPH, THE CAR PULLED VIOLENTLY TO THE LEFT AND I HAD TO MAKE A RAPID CORRECTION TO AVOID HITTING THE TRUCK NEXT TO ME. AS THAT HAPPENED I INSTINCTIVELY GLANCED AT MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING, SEEMS TO HAVE LIT UP THE INSTANCE THE CAR MADE TO SUDDEN LEFT SWING. I'VE READ ON THE CORVETTE FORUMS, THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN PLAGUING THE C6 Z06. THIS ALSO HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS WHILE I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND WAS GOING ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH. I DON'T USE THE CAR THAT OFTEN, ONLY WHILE I'M ON VACATION, WHICH IS ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES PER YEAR. THE LIGHT WILL COME ON FROM TIME TO TIME BUT THE SUDDEN LEFT SWING ONLY HAPPENED TWICE.

SMELL OF GAS CONSISTENTLY FILLS THE CABIN. I FEAR IT IS A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK LIKE MULTIPLE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED.

I TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THAT ONLY LASTED 20 MINUTES. WITHIN 2 SATURDAY, I HAVE ADDED 6 ALTERNATOR TO THIS CAR, THEY ONLY LAST 20 MINUTE AFTER IN STALLING. HAD THE CAR CHECK OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BAD ALTERNATOR. I HAVE NEVER CHANGED SO MANY ALTERNATOR IN MY LIFE ON ONE CAR. TAKING IT INTO A SHOP THIS WEEKEND AGAIN AND LET THEM INSTALL THERE $800.00 ALTERNATOR AND SEE WHAT HAPPEN.

STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE ESPECIALLY AFTER RUNNING. LASTS FOR DAYS.
