2007 Chevrolet Corvette owner complaints

Corvette has had a problem with fuel smell coming from the car after you fill the tank.this issue is very serious. Fuel leaks out the top of the tanks, and will then drip down the back side onto the hot exhaust. If ignored this could result in a fire and possible death. If parked overnight in a garage, the vapor will fill the garage and could easily be triggered into an explosion and fire from a gas water heater or other ignition source. I can't park my c6 in my garage without it filling the entire garage with fumes so strong that I can't even keep my dogs in there. The vapors then seep into the house. The car is unsafe to drive, and unsafe to leave parked.

I started smelling gas from my car two weeks ago. I discovered on Corvette Forum.com that this is a common problem. If the car is filled up over 1/2 tank gas will come out of the top and drip on the exhaust, which is very concerning. Chevrolet claims that the cars with this issue were recalled, but mine was not. This is one of two reoccurring issues with the C6 Corvette, and unfortunately, I am a victim of both. The other is the shifter locks in place, and the car will not come out of park. Chevrolet does not own up to the responsibility for this defective engineering as well. Please add me to the complaints for these two recallable issues as Chevrollet refuses to address the issue. Fuel dripping on the exhaust preplexes me why NHTSA has not got involved already.

Strong fuel smell inside car as well as in garage. Drivers side tank does appear to have a leak when filled. Doing a search online it appears this is a common issue with this vehicle and that a recall/repair was created for owners however my 2007 (not the original owner) I suspect has since expired. In my opinion any defects that puts the owner and personal property at risk should be covered regardless of age.

Vehicle has a really intense smell of gasoline inside cabin when cars parked or in drive.

Could smell gas in my garage but didnt see any gas on the floor took it to my mechanic and he said fuel tank seems to have a leak but can see it! It seems to be on top of fuel tank. My corvette has 46,285 miles on it. It seems to something like this is pretty dangerous setting in garage over night. It seems gm as on recall on this problem!

Fuel smell filling the compartment and also my garage after parking.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that there was an extremely strong odor of gasoline fuel inside and outside of the vehicle. The contact was unable to locate a fuel leak. The failure was a constant occurrence. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection where they informed the contact that malfunction was contributed to the fuel tank filler neck. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 42,500.

Strong fuel odor when tank is above half full. The car was parked in garage next to gas water heater. Woke to house with strong gasoline odor. Can only put 6 gallons of gas in car. Car is a fire hazard

It was happen this year multiple times the transmission shipter problem I could not get off the park position, I have to push the shipter forwards and press down the brake paddle harder several times so it could get off the park after I start the engine , it sometime take about 5 minutes stuck on park after I did all that above

My gm service request numberb is:[xxx].the automatic gear selector lever occasionally got stuck in park (p) and took a long dangerous time to get it worked loose and functioning properly. I lived with it for several months, but it got progressively much worse and more dangerous. I spoke to other corvette owners and found out that I had a common safety problem for my model. I finally took the car to the dealer that sold it to me (mountain view Chevrolet) who said they had seen a lot of this defect and they then charged me nearly $600 to correct this dangerous defect. Not right!!!! It should have been recalled from the get-go and fixed promptly without charge. Unable to move in traffic, get out of the way of danger, or off of railway tracks is a potential killer. There should be a safety rec

Shifter of auto. Trans. Sticks in park. This is dangerous if your stuck in traffic, emergency vehicle is being blocked, or at railray crossing with train coming, or trying to get away from a forest fire. Over 3000 hits on you-tube for this problem with 2006 and 2007 corvettes and maybe others. Chevrolet will not fix problem. Only 14,000 miles on my car!!! Car is stationary in park, and won't move!!!

October of this year. My transmission in my corvette would not go into park. I put it into reverse and backed it out and then could not put it up into park. I then put it into drive and moved forward some and tried to put it into park. This time it would not go even into reverse. The vehicle has 56220 miles on it. I stays in a garage climate controlled and has seen bad weather maybe 6 time (snow or rain). So off the car went to the Chevrolet dealer to get repaired. I googled the problem to do a little research and found out that there has been lots of complaints on this same problem with out any results. So there is a plastic piece in the shiftier mechanism the entire assembly must be replaced. So at $1068.00 later the problem was fixed. Did gm know about the problem, they sure did. The se

Automatic shifter sticks in park when trying to shift it

Driving along and car starts swerving and brakes seem to apply, then I notice service ABS, service traction control and service active handling is on. This has been happening frequently for several months and now getting worse. Have tightened all connections by internally tightening the poor loose connectors and rerouting the wires to the swps to give more length. Now lights are on and will not go out, shows no codes with a scan reader. This is an 07 and I do not see that as a recall even though it is the same problems as the 05 & 06. *tr

Attempting to enter an expressway entrance ramp, I accelerated the vehicle to avoid a car closing rapidly from behind. The car was heading straight and I made no steering input to the the rear end abruptly moved to the right and I was unable to countersteer sufficiently to avoid hitting a vehicle in the lane to my right. This initial collision caused further loss of control within my vehicle and the other vehicle, and we collided a second time.

I am smelling gas fumes coming from the driver side after driving. I can hear fuel dripping on the exhaust when I park the car in my driveway which is on an slight incline. If it is not dripping on the exhaust it's dripping on something hot because it makes a sizzling sound. Please help! Should have a recall about this problem in my opinion. Lots of corvette owners are dealing with this same issue. *tr

Multiple fine cracks in both head light assemblies. They are not only unsightly but appears to distort/reflect head lighting. In checking my with local Chevrolet dealership, other corvettes owners have the same problem. This appears to be a design defect. *tr
