2012 Chevrolet Corvette owner complaints

We smelled gasoline from time to time since June of 2022 & could not see any leaks. Approximately October 22 2022 we contacted Premier Chevy Buick GMC in Beatrice Nebraska because the smell was really bad. After they inspected our car they said it had a defective fuel pump that had cracked & it was a known common problem with the Corvettes. They advised that General Motors would repair them at no cost because of a 10 year extended coverage. They then called us the next day to tell us that it would not be covered because it missed the coverage date by 2 months. We contacted Chevrolet and we were told that it could possibly be covered under good will. They sent the dealer paperwork & have been in contact a few times. Today we received a call from Chevrolet advising we would not be paid for t

Recently purchase used car. Very strong a gas smell/fumes in garage whenever fuel is pumped more than 1/2 tank. Concerned over fire or explosion hazard.

Strong gas smell after filling gas tank. This is a known issue on these cars and although it can develop at any time they only warranty the problem for 10 years. This creates a fire hazard. The attached service bulletin was just released by GM today: Special Coverage Adjustment 15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks Reference Number: N150682 Release Date: July 2016 Condition Some 2007 to 2009 model year Cadillac XLR and 2007 to 2013 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles may have a condition where a fuel odor is detected, fuel droplets appear below the left-hand fuel tank with fuel gauge level above 1/2, or a malfunction indicator lamp illuminates due to a leak path in the left-hand fuel pump module flange.

Stationary vehicle was filling enclosed garage with gas fumes. Source of problem was fractured high pressure 90 degree fitting in fuel pump atop left fuel tank. Entire fuel pump assembly had to be replaced. Photo attached showing fracture in fitting and showing the fuel pump part number. Contacted Chevrolet. No resolution.

My 2012 corvette grand sport has an increasingly strong fresh gasoline smell especially after filling up. When I start to slow down and then come to a complete stop the smell begins to permeate the passenger cabin. After reading online forums it appears to be a recurring safety issue/ hazard with the c6 generation corvette. I do not know what it could be but to smell fresh gasoline is definitely hazardous.

I have begun to smell fuel coming from the drivers side wheel well. It has filled the garage while parked and I can smell it coming into the car's interior while driving. I only have 24,000 miles on the car.

The car has a strong smell of gas inside the garage and in the compartment of the vehicle after driving

We recently purchased the car (two weeks ago) and the car smells up the garage of heavy gas fumes. We tried replacing the gas cap but it still happens. Seems to be at its strongest after gassing up the car. Gas fumes can also be smelled when the convertible top is down driving on the highway. I am seriously concerned that my garage is going to blow up since the water heater is just a couple of feet from the car or that the car will catch on fire while driving. I have been looking into this and seems many corvette owners are experiencing the same thing. I'm feeling so discouraged for buying a corvette, our dream car. Is there an recalls for this serious problem?

Service active handling system on display. While driving the day before, the car made a very quick motion to the left while driving at 65mph. Investigation found the steering wheel sensor pushed out of it's housing and dangling on the steering column shaft under the dash. The powered telescoping steering wheel pushed the assembly out of place causing the fault. I disconnected the steering wheel sensor to prevent any further activation of the active handling.

The car only has 2388 miles. Backing straight out the drive way the dash starting displaying service antilock breaks, service traction system, service active handling system. The dash lights from ABS and traction stay on and the traction control control button is disabled.

Fuel smell coming from drivers side fuel tank. Notice fuel leak from high spot of tank and fuel residue on side of tank. Numerous owner complaints.

Air bag light stays on on instrument cluster. Found out thru research on the corvette forum and talking to Chevy dealerships that this is a very common problem.usually fixed by unplugging and cleaning or tie wrapping the connector under the seats.which usually keeps the light out temporarily. But it comes back on eventually and disables the airbag so it won't work in a crash. Gm needs to fix this serious problem.(different type connector maybe)I believe it effects cars from 2005-2013.I for one don't want to lose my life because they didn't want to invest in a couple dollar connector.do you??

Air bag warning light would come on and then go off before coming on again and off. Diag. Code b0041,b0065. Diag. Intermittent open circuits to driver's seat pretensioner and side air bag. Found terminal fretting condition in x377. *tr

Get a intermittent red air bag light on the dash when driving. Not sure if air bag system is working properly. Would affect safety if the air bag malfunctions. Not inspected by anyone, car is for sale.

The airbag light came on while driving at 35-45 MPH speeds and stayed on. The light did not go off after turning the vehicle off and on again.

The wire to the starter melts out causing the entire charging system to stop working an drains the battery causing the motor to shut off while driving . Then no power steering or breaks

Car has 8750 miles passenger door will not open and window will not roll up

Clutch master cylinder failed causing the car to not be able to disengage clutch with pedal making it extremely dangerous to stop car or remove it from gear. Future attempts to start car with on-star on the phone so they could run diagnostic check remotely failed. 3 attempts to start car and it would not start. Towed to dealer and upon arrival towing company had asked for mileage of car. Exactly like above I pushed start button to turn gauges on dash, this time car started and overpowered emergency brake because it was still in gear and it ran into tow truck nearly hitting tow driver and was inches from cutting his legs off. In no way should this car have been able to start in gear and I believe it wouldn't have, had the clutch master cylinder not failed at only 4600 miles. *tr
