2008 Chevrolet Corvette owner complaints

I filled the car with gas several times and I began to smell gas in my garage and when I stand beside the car. A very high aroma even when driving you can smell it inside the vehicle.

Upon inspection, the driver side fuel tank is leaking. The system has lean codes and was advised to drop the fuel tank to verify fuel leak location.

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

After filling tank, there is a very strong smell of gas for over a week after filling. Seems like there is leak at the top of the tank which spills out and onto the exhaust pipes. Gas must be sitting somewhere on the chassis the smell is strong enough to fill my garage and house.

When the car is parked and the engine is off, there is a strong and persistent fuel vapor/fuel odor coming from left rear quarter panel area of the car near the fuel filler door and left rear wheel well. Odor does not seem to be coming from the fuel filler port or fuel filler cap. Fuel filler neck hose and vapor return line behind the fuel filler port appear to be dry and connections are secure. No evidence of fuel leaking from the fuel filler neck or left fuel tank; no fuel leaking onto the ground. No previous fuel spills from refueling. Fuel vapor odor fills up the garage when parked in there for several hours.

Traveling at 45mph,right rear brake applied. Car veered to right and stability control light came on dic. Returned car to dealer, who had car for 20 days. Replaced ebcm,steering sensor,traction control switch,cleaned grounds and checked all connections. Car was delivered 100 miles to me with no problems. Car sat in garage for 7 days.on 12/27/2013 drove car approximately 7 miles. At 70 MPH on interstate left rear brake applied jerking car to left. This is a 2008 corvette with 7500 miles. This sounds like a common problem that gm should find a cure for before lawsuits begin. Very dangerous at highway speeds. *tr

I bought this car in july 2016. It only has 21000 miles on it. It stays parked inside the garage and every time I feel the tank I get a strong gasoline smell. This smell is strong and feels the garage. I checked and found a recall for this. I need to know what to do.

After filling up my car with gas, I noticed a strong fuel smell when it was parked in my garage. When I looked under the car, I noticed a small puddle of gas on the floor. I continued to drive the car and noticed the smell and leak went away when the fuel gauge red under half-full. I then added more gas, but did not completely fill up. The smell and leak returned. When taken to the dealership for diagnosis, they indicated a known problem with the tank fill neck and the fuel pump, but no recall issued. The vehicle has not been repaired.

When parked in my garage there is a strong smell of gasoline. I am afraid of a fire or explosion. Purchased this car used from the previous original owner. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet corvette z06. The contact stated that a gasoline odor was overpowering around the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

I have a strong gas odor coming from left rear side of the car when I fill the tank more than half full , the car only has 6000 miles, I purchased new in november 2007

After researching and reading other incidents, I believe the active handling on my 2008 corvette z06 caused me to crash. Researching this, I found the steering wheel positioning sensor malfunctions and locks up one of the front brakes. The car is at the body shop as of now. I plan on looking at this sensor after the holidays. Any advice or information would be appreciated. *tr

Takata recall, I noticed a fuel smell in my garage and when I check under the car I found a spot of fuel under the driver tank side.

Strong gas smell behind driver's seat area when fuel gauge shows more than approximately a half tank of fuel. I bought this car April 3, 2020, with 85,545 miles. It now has 87,570 miles. The strong gas smell appeared the first time that I filled the gas tank. It was apparently an issue for the previous owner but never repaired. Am told the gas appears to be coming out of the top of the fuel pump connection between the fuel tanks. From research, I have learned this is a known factory issue, but Chevy will do nothing about it. This is a "FIRE" and/or "EXPLOSION" issue since it is in the vicinity of the hot exhaust!!!

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.

Any time vehicle has over 1/2 tank of fuel I get fuel vapors filling my garage & inside the vehicle.

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.

Strong gas smell after filling vehicle up. *tr

Crack on filler neck on left fuel tank which I believe is a mfg defect in the molding of the tank. Gm is of the opinion that this is a wear and tear issue. I disagree as the right tank is still performing without problems. Vehicle has only been used for commuting and never abused in its 91,000+ miles of life. I am of the belief that gm should replace tank under their 10 year 120,000 mile warranty as the tank is not a moving part. Also, when tank is more than half full, fuel odor from leak is extremely strong and possibly combustible. Thank you. *tr

Loud ticking coming from valves, worried to drop a valve when driving
