2008 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

WHEN I FILL THE TANK I GET A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL. MY GARAGE IS ATTACHED TO MY TOWNHOUSE ANS THE SMELL OF FUEL AND BE SMELLED THROUGHOUT THE GARAGE AND HOUSE.

"TAKATA RECALL" FOR SOME REASON I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I GO IN MY GARAGE WHERE MY CORVETTE IS PARKED THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT'S IN A CLOSED AREA I GET THE SMELL I HAVE READ THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEMS IN THESE C 6S

2008 CORVETTE WITH 34,000 MILES HAS TERRIBLE, NOXIOUS FUEL SMELL IN CABIN. THE SMELL IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND THE AC ON. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD A FUEL LEAK AT THE TOP OF THE CAR'S LEFT SIDE FUEL TANK. WHEN I'M PARKED IN THE GARAGE THE FUEL SMELL BECOMES UNBEARABLE. APPARENTLY THE FUEL LEAKS DOWN THE TANK ONTO THE EXHAUST PIPE. EXTREME DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. THE FUEL VAPORS COULD BE IGNITED BY THE WATER HEATER. WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE $5000.00. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. GM HAS BEEN IGNORING THE COMPLAINTS. I ASSUME THAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMETHING SERIOUS TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY'LL TAKE ACTION.

2008 CORVETTE WITH STRONG SMELL OF GAS FUMES NEAR GAS TANK WHEN GAS TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL. SEEMS TO BE A LEAK AT THE IN TANK FUEL PUMP

THE LAST TWO TIMES THAT I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH FUEL, THERE HAS BEEN A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE IN THE CAR THAT DIMINISHED AS THE GAS TANK EMPTIED . THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE TANK ONTO THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE CAR AND THAT IT A PROBLEM (DEFECTIVE PARTS) THAT GM IS AWARE OF. THIS CLEARLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT NO RECALL WAS EVER ISSUED, INSTEAD IN JULY OF 2016, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT IF I DETECTED A FUEL ODOR I SHOULD TAKE THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR AT NO CHARGE. AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO ODOR. THE CAR IS NOW OVER TEN YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT, BUT GM SAYS THAT THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE HOW GM COULD GET AWAY WITH THIS, BUT IN MY OPINION THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND THERE STILL SHOULD BE A RECALL. SOMEONE REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS.

FUEL FUMES/LEAKAGE AFTER FILL UP AND WHILE VEHICLE SITS IN A GARAGE FOR A FEW DAYS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS

LEFT SIDE FUEL TANK STILL LEAKING AFTER REPAIR AT CHEVY DEALER DURING SUMMER 2018. CRACKED FUEL TANK ON TOP OF LEFT FUEL TANK. DEALER REPLACED SENDING UNIT WHICH ALSO WAS FAULTY.MANY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE, CHEVY CLAIMS WEAR AND TEAR, FUEL TANK IS PLASTIC AND NOT A MOVING PART . AFTER START UP CABIN REEKS OF FUEL AND SO DOES SURROUNDING AREA. I.E GARAGE UNDER CHILDS BEDROOM. MANY 2008 CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OR HAVE SEEKED HELP OF THIS ISSUE, BUT CHEVY ONLY ISSUED A 10 YEAR 120K MILE LIMITED WARRANTY. CHEVY COBALTS HAVE A RECALL FOR FAULTY LEAKING FUEL TANKS CHEVY ARE REPLACING THEM BUT NOT CHEVY'S FLAGSHIP CAR. NO INCIDENTS OR ACCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED, BUT ITS UNSETTLING TO KNOW FUEL IS LEAKING ON A HOT EXHAUST AND THE SMELL OF FUEL IN CABIN WHILE OCCUPIED AND WHILE STORED IN A GARAGE AFTER USE.

FUEL LEAK IN TANK AREA. EXTREME FUMES MOST NOTICED AFTER FILLING

TAKATA RECALL FUEL TANK SMELL WHEN FULL

AFTER FILL UP THERE HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS GAS SMELL, THE GAS SMELL FILLS UP THE CABIN

VEHICLE WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTERMITTANTLY. DEALER STATES THIS IS COMMON THE SHIFTER NEEDS REPLACED FOR $700. SAFETY CONCERN FOR BEING STRANDED IN DANGEROUS SITUATION.

STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT SEPTEMBER 2018. TOOK MY CAR TO LOCAL MECHANIC MADE ME AWARE OF GM SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN #15682-03 PRIMARY TANK MODULE FLANGE FUEL AND VAPOR LEAKS. ONLY COVERS 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY EXACT 10 YEARS EXPIRED THE MONTH PRIOR (AUG 2018, MY MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 58,000. GM WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE ONE MONTH EXPIRATION. I CONTACTED CHEVY CUST ASSISTANCE AND GM CUST SERVICE, OPENED THREE CASES AND EACH TIME TOLD THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE EVEN IF ONE DAY PASSED THE WARRANTY. HOW IS GM GETTING AWAY WITH THIS AND NOT MAKING IT A RECALL FOR SUCH A DANGEROUS AND SENSITIVE ISSUE. MY GARAGE AND HOUSE SMELLED OF GAS FUMES, THE INSIDE OF MY CAR WAS UNBEARABLE FROM THE FUEL SMELL AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN EXPLOSION. AND THE COST TO REPAIR -- OUT OF POCKET IS APPROX. $1500-$2000. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP PUSH THIS TO SAVE LIVES AND GET OUR HARD OWNED MONEY REFUNDED FOR THE REPAIR. IT'S NO WONDER PEOPLE DON'T BUY USA CARS.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS AROUND CAR, INSIDE CAR AND INSIDE GARAGE.. VEHICLE CONFIRMED BY DEALER TO HAVE CRACK IN PLASTIC ON FUEL PUMP. DEFECT IN PLASTIC.. GM WILL NOT COVER COST TO REPAIR SINCE NO RECALL ON THIS HAS BEEN ISSUED.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL COMING FROM IT ONCE THE TANK IS FILLED UP AND WHILE THE VEHICLE SITS. THIS ODOR HAS BECOME SO STRONG THAT IT FILLS UP MY WHOLE GARAGE AND SLIGHTLY THE INTERIOR OF MY HOUSE. IT ALSO GETS INTO THE VEHICLE THEREFORE FORCING ME TO OPEN MY WINDOWS TO AIR MY VEHICLE OUT BEFORE DRIVING AWAY. I EXPERIENCE BEING LIGHT HEADED WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. I HAVE CHANGED OUT MY GAS CAP AND I DO NOT OVERFILL MY TANK THEREFORE I HAVE ELIMINATED THOSE FACTORS.

9/2017. BEGAN TO SMELL GAS IN AND OUT OF OUR 2008 CORVETTE, TOOK CAR TO A CORVETTE SPECIALIST. I WAS TOLD THERE IS HAIRLINE CRACK WHERE THE NECK OF THE TACK MEETS THE TANK BODY. HAD TANK REPLACED WITH A USED TANK. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN WRECKED OR RACED. HAS LESS THAN 35K ON IT. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION AT CORVETTES OF HOUSTON.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STARTING TO SMELL LIKE FUEL FROM THE LEFT REAR TIRE. WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT IT WILL FILL THE GARAGE UP WITH A FUEL SMELL AND IS VERY UNBEARABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CLUTCH PEDAL FAILED TO DISENGAGE AND BECAME STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT ACCELERATED DUE TO THE CLUTCH BEING IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OF THE CLUTCH FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND DID NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

FUEL LEAKING FROM GAS TANK AFTER FILLING WITH FRESH FUEL IN ADDITION TO STRONG FUEL ORDER FROM INSIDE OF VEHICLE CABIN. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. FUEL ODOR IS SO STRONG VEHICLE MUST HAVE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN PRIOR TO ENTERING CABIN.

GEAR SHIFT RELEASE BUTTON LOCKS AND OPERATOR IS UNABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE BACK INTO PARK OR EVEN REVERSE AT TIMES. VEHICLE MAY ALSO GET STUCK IN REVERSE AND NOT BE ABLE TO GO BACK INTO PARK NOR DRIVE. ISSUE HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND MAKES VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION

STRONG FUEL SMELL, FUEL LEAKS BACK IN SHOP FOR MASSIVE FUEL LEAK. WAS IN SHOP A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THE EVAP VALVE WAS REPLACED, NEW GAS CAP INSTALLED.

FUEL SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. SHOP INSPECTED AND FOUND A FUEL LEAK FROM THE TOP OF LEFT FUEL TANK. TESTED AND FOUND ELBOW OUT OF FUEL PUMP CRACKED. REMOVED AND REPLACED LEFT FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY.

VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL IF THE FUEL TANK IS 3/4 TO COMPLETELY FULL. I HAVE FILLED THE TANK UP AND HAVE DRIVEN IT, PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE, AND THEN THE NEXT MORNING THE GARAGE SMELLS LIKE FUEL. VERY STRONG ODOR.

FUEL LEAKS, FUEL FUMES AND STRONG GAS ODOR DUE TO DEFECTIVE OEM FUEL SENDER UNIT INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING SEVERE ISSUE THAT PLAGUES MOST 2008 CORVETTES, AND AHEAD.

USING ACCESSORIES FUNCTION, SHORTS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OUT: WITH THE CAR ENGINE OFF, I TURN ON ACCESSORIES, PLAY THE RADIO, ETC. WHEN THE ACCESSORIES ENDS ITS CYCLE AND SHUTS-OFF THE CAR WILL NOT START. THE ENTIRE SYSTEM SHUNTS/SHORTS OUT, NOTHING OPERATES UNTIL THE BATTERY IS BLED DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM

WHEN TANK IS FILLED WITH FUEL THERE IS A TREMENDOUS STRONG GAS SMELL. THIS SMELL LASTS UNTIL ABOUT HALF THE FUEL IS USED. GAS CAP IS PROPER AND UNAFFECTED. THE SMELL IS STRONG REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS SETTING STILL OR IN MOTION. SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 2008 C6 CORVETTES.

MY 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE SMELL OF GAS VAPOR WHEN I FILL IT UP I NOTICE THE SMELL WHEN PARK IT IN THE GARAGE I NOTICE THE SMELL ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO

I OWN A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE C6 BASE MODEL WITH CURRENTLY ABOUT 62,000 MILES. IT HAS NOW HAD 11 STEERING RACK FAILURES SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN AUGUST 2013 AT 18,000 MILES. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY SINCE AUGUST 14, 2017 ' AS OF THIS WEEK THAT'S 6 MONTHS IN THE SHOP WITHOUT NORMAL USE OF THE CAR. TO HAVE THIS MANY MAJOR SAFETY-RELATED PARTS FAILURES OVER 4 YEARS AT NORMAL USE (@ 10,000 MILES / YEAR) IS INEXCUSABLE, FRUSTRATING, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO DOCUMENT STEPS I HAVE TAKEN TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE, THE ATTEMPTS TO INFORM GM OF THE ISSUE TO PREVENT FUTURE RISKS AND AGGRAVATION TO OTHER CUSTOMERS, TO REDUCE COST AND RISK TO GM, AND TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE AGGRAVATION AND EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT AND TIME I HAVE HAD TO INVEST IN THIS ISSUE. THE 'OEM' RACK FROM GM PARTS FOR MY '08 CORVETTE IS PART #19330457 AND IS APPROXIMATELY $1200. THERE ARE SEVERAL HOURS OF LABOR TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE RACK AND REALIGN THE FRONT WHEELS EACH TIME IT IS REPLACED. THUS EACH REPLACEMENT JOB COSTS $2000 IN TOTAL. HAD I NOT BOUGHT A 3RD PARTY EXTENDED WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF POCKET OVER $10,000! IN REPAIRS ON JUST THE STEERING OF THIS CAR. IN SUM, OVER 4 YEARS MY WARRANTY COMPANY HAS PAID OVER $10,000, I HAVE PAID OVER $2000 OUT OF POCKET, AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR A TOTAL OF 8 MONTHS SO FAR ON ITS STEERING-RACK RELATED ISSUES.

FUEL PUMP FORMS LEAK ON TOP OF TANK CREATING HEAVY FUEL SMELL THAT FILLS GARAGE AND ENTERS HOME. FUEL BELIEVED TO ALSO LEAK DOWNWARD ONTO EXHAUST PIPES. OCCURS WHILE RUNNING AND FUMES OCCUR AS PARKED WITH MOTOR OFF.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (TRACTION CONTROL / ACTIVE HANDLING) SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS ON. REF: NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE08056

STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM CAR AFTER FILLUP, SEEMS LIKE FUEL LEAK. IT FILLS UP GARAGE WITH VERY VERY VERY STRONG SMELL OF FUEL. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE COMING FROM THE GAS CAP, BUT SMELL IS STRONG. WORRIED THAT THE LEAK ONTO EXHAUST WILL CAUSE A FIRE

TOP OF FUEL TANK COVERED WITH RAW FUEL. DON'T KNOW EXACT SOURCE YET AS CAR IS IN REPAIR SHOP NOW. WILL FOLLOW UP WITH MORE LATER. DEPENDING ON FUEL LEVEL IN THE TANK, GAS FUMES ARE HEAVY OR LIGHT. POSSIBLE FIRE OR EXPLOSION IF LEFT IN CONFINED SPACE.

SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE GARAGE. APPEARS TO BE A FUEL LEAK ON LEFT SIDE OF CAR.

'TAKATA RECALL' THE CAR HAVE STRONG SMELL OF GAS FUMES WHEN OVER A HALF TANK OF GAS. CANNOT PARK IN GRAGE OR SAT IN CAR FOR FUMES. WAS TOLD RECALL HAS EXPIRED. DON'T UNDERSTAND IF GM KNOWS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY WOULD NOT CANCEL THE RECALL. NEED HELP CONTACTING GM HEAD OFFICE.

THERE IS A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. IT CAN BE HEAVILY CONCENTRATED INSIDE THE CAR IF THE WINDOWS ARE UP AND THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. WITH THE CAR PARKED IN MY CLOSED GARAGE YOU COULD SMELL FUEL INSIDE MY HOUSE. NO FUEL LEAK IS VISIBLE. THE SMELL US REDUCED AS FUEL LEVEL DECREASES. EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION RATE IS ALSO OBSERVED. THE FUEL SMELL IS PRESENT AT ALL TIMES BUT IS EVEN WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

THE VEHICLE HAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL. DEALER TELLS ME GM IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE BUT MY CAR IS 10 YEARS AND 1 MONTH OLD. REPAIR THROUGH GM IS ONLY UP TO 10 YEARS. THE VEHICLE CAN'T BE PARKED IN GARAGE AND I AM FEARFULLY WHEN DRIVING IT. GM SPECIAL COVERAGE # FOR THIS ISSUE IS 15682.. REFERSNCE # N150682.

FUEL GUAGE GOES HAY WIRE AFTER FILLING UP,SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM LITE COMES ON,AFTER FEW MILES GOES BACK TO READINIG CORRECT,TIL HALF TANK THEN GOES CRAZY AGIAN,ON GOING PROPLEM WITH ALL C6 CORVETTES WITH AROUND 50000 MILES ON THEM

CANT GET INTO CAR WITH FOB WHEN 45 DEGREES OR COLDER OUTSIDE,CAR WONT START, SHOWS NO FOB DECETED, ONCE IT WARMS UP OUTSIDE EVERYTHING IS NORMAL, DURING SUMMER NEVER A PROPLEM, ONCE IT STARTS GETTING COLD OUSIDE WONT START, BIG PROPLEM

HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=P9E3MD122MG 2008 CORVETTE COUPE DEVELOPED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHICH IS STRONGEST ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CABIN. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS, NO GAS POOLING AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THERE APPEAR TO BE HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY PART ON THE GAS TANK (SEE VIDEO). IT IS NOT DUE TO A NUMBER OF MILES DRIVEN BUT APPEARS TO BE A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE OVER TIME DUE TO BRITTLE PLASTIC. THE GAS SMELL IS INCREDIBLY STRONG AND MAKES THE CAR UNDRIVABLE UNLESS THE WINDOWS ARE ALWAYS FULLY DOWN. ALSO GENERALLY UNSURE IF THE CAR IS GOING TO EXPLODE DUE TO THE CONTINUING POOLING OF FUEL OVER TIME.

THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL INSIDE THE CAR BUT NO OBVIOUS LEAKS. THE CAR DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE USING GAS FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED. IT SMELLS STRONGEST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN MANY OWNERS HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH THE FUEL TANK OR FUEL LINE. THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS MOMENT THIS STARTED OR EVENT THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR JUST STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS.

STRONG FUEL SMELL WHEN FILLING CAR UP. LASTS FOR DAYS OR UNTIL FUEL TANK GETS BELOW 1/2. NO NOTICEABLE LEAK ON THE GROUND UNDER. THIS IS STRONGEST IN THE LEFT REAR AREA WHERE YOU FILL THE TANK UP AND IN THE CABIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO CHEVROLET BULLETIN 15682. HIGHLY DANGEROUS, NEAR EXHAUST PIPES. LIKELY CAUSE OF FIRE.

PRIMARY TANK MODULE FLANGE FUEL AND VAPOR LEAKS...INSTEAD OF GM MAKING A RECALL THEY ARE CALLING IT AN EXTENDED SPECIAL WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED IF THE FUEL TANK WAS OVER HALF FULL THE FUMES WERE UNBEARABLE. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK INSIDE MY GARAGE. THE SMELL IN THE INSIDE OF THE CAR IS VERY STRONG. THE RECALL (EXTENDED WARRANTY) STATES THAT ITS ONLY GOOD FOR 10 YEARS OR 120K MILES, BUT SINCE MY 2008 CORVETTE WAS INITIALLY SOLD ON 10/25/17 AND ONLY HAS 40K MILES THEY HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS EXPENSIVE, DANGEROUS ISSUE. THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE SAFETY CONCERN, BUT HAVE CAPPED THE TIME IT CAN BE REPAIRED. WHICH MAKES ZERO SENSE. IF ITS DANGEROUS, ITS DANGEROUS. I BOUGHT THE CAR 12/2017 AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE PROBLEM, BUT SINCE I MISSED THE DEADLINE BY LESS THAN 60 DAYS THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

VEHICLE MAY REMAIN LOCKED IN PARK OR NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVING GEARS BACK TO PARK. VERY WIDE SPREAD ISSUE ON THIS MODEL.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO A COMPLAINT I FILED ON DEC 26 2017 COMPLAINT NUMBER 11056152. IT SEEMS I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN JUNE OF 2016 ABOUT A GAS SMELL PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN CORVETTES. THE LETTER SAID IF YOU ARE HAVING THAT ISSUE TAKE YOUR CAR TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR. IN 2016 I DIDN'T HAVE THAT ISSUE AND FILED THE LETTER. NOW IN 2017 I HAVE THAT PROBLEM BUT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS ONLY COVERED UNTIL LAST AUG. THIS REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $5000.00. HOW CAN GENERAL MOTORS EXEMPT THEMSELVES FROM A POTENTIAL EXPLOSIVE CONDITION FROM A FAULTY GAS VALVE. THEY WERE AWARE THERE VALVES WERE FAILING AND HOPING THEY COULD GET THE EFFECTED AUTOMOBILES BEYOND THE 10 YEAR LIMIT. IF THEY TRULY HAD THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY IN MIND THE WOULD HAVE INSTRUCTED ALL OWNER OF THE CORVETTES WITH THIS FAULTY GAS VALVE TO HAVE THEIR CAR REPAIRED IN JUNE OF 2016, BEFORE THE "SMELL" OCCURRED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I CANNOT PARK MY CAR IN MY GARAGE WITH OUT LEAVING A DOOR OPEN FOR FEAR OF A FIRE OR WORSE. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANY THING AN OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. NOT LACK OF PROPER MAINTENANCE, OR VEHICLE ABUSE. I'VE TRIED CALLING GENERAL MOTORS BUT ONLY GET SOME COMPUTER THAT SCREENS CALLS. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING. I HOPE SOME ONE AT NHTSA CAN GIVE ME SOME ADVICE AND MY ISSUE SOME CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN AND AROUND THE CAR, WHEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE IT BE COMES OVERWHELMING. I'M AFRAID IT COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD. I RESEARCHED THE INFO AND WAS ADVISED TO GO TO THIS WEB SITE. IM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

ONLY 36,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND THERE IS A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR WHEN IT'S PARKED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. THE GAS SMELL STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AGO. I DID NOT OVERFILL THE TANK, AND THE GAS CAP IS SECURE. TAKING IT TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG, THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD.

THERE IS A GAS LEAK, PROBABLY FROM THE FUEL PUMP. I CAN SMELL GAS ODOR. I'M WORRIED THAT THE GAS FUMES IS CLOSE TO THE WATER HEATER AND DON'T WANT AN EXPLOSION TO HAPPEN. I CAN SMELL IT WHEN I'M INSIDE OF THE CAR AND DRIVING.

BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE DRIVING THEN GO OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. HAPPENS STOPPED OR MOVING. HAVE HEARD A FAULTY BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE) CAUSES THIS.

SMELL OF GAS ON THE LEFT SIDE BACK OF CAR NEAR FUEL CAP FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING GAS VERY POWERFUL 2008 CHEVY CORVETTE

ANY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, I SMELL A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FOR DAYS, IN THE GARAGE AND INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. THE SMELL SUBSIDES ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL GETS BELOW HALF TANK. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY A LEAK IN THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP THAT SPRAYS GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TANK VERY CLOSE TO THE HOT EXHAUST PIPES. THIS IS LIKELY A FIRE HAZARD. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS AROUND THE INTERNET. EXAMPLE: HTTPS://WWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM/FORUMS/C6-CORVETTE-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/3563123-DANGER-FUEL-LEAKS-SAFETY-RECALL-9.HTML GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, BUT MY CAR IS AT 10 YEARS AND ONE MONTH, SO GM DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT. HERE IS THE GM BULLETIN STATING THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY: HTTPS://REDIRECT.VIGLINK.COM/?FORMAT=GO&JSONP=VGLNK_151104044978215&KEY=5E9E33F20BF41D5A669CC4838C2690E9&LIBID=JA5UDJF901000B28000DLG5APLEOA&LOC=HTTPS%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM%2FFORUMS%2FC6-CORVETTE-GENERAL-DISCUSSION%2F3563123-DANGER-FUEL-LEAKS-SAFETY-RECALL-10.HTML&V=1&OUT=HTTP%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEACTIONCENTER.COM%2FTECH%2FKNOWLEDGEBASE%2FFILE.PHP%3FID%3D130&REF=HTTPS%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM%2FFORUMS%2FC6-CORVETTE-GENERAL-DISCUSSION%2F3563123-DANGER-FUEL-LEAKS-SAFETY-RECALL-9.HTML&TITLE=*%20*%20*%20*%20DANGER%20FUEL%20LEAKS%20-%20SAFETY%20RECALL%20*%20*%20*%20*%20-%20PAGE%2010%20-%20CORVETTEFORUM%20-%20CHEVROLET%20CORVETTE%20FORUM%20DISCUSSION&TXT=HTTP%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEACTIONCENTER.COM%2F...ILE.PHP%3FID%3D130 THIS
