My fuel gauge does not work and hasn't for quite some time. I purchased the car brand new. It is several years old now, but it only has 10,000 miles. This problem presented much sooner than this mileage. I am told it is the re-sending units in the gas tanks. Ironic part and frustrating point is that I had another Corvette, the model before this one -C5. It had the same exact problem! I'm positive that other owners are affected. I cannot get the warranty to cover the repair as it expired due to the age of the vehicle. I'm worried about these defective sensors causing a fuel fire or other serious problems. Regardless, the sensors are a defective design.

I'm smelling fuel whenever I fill my vehicle. I never over fill it. When the pump stops I stop and don't try to force more gas in it. When parked over night my entire garage smells like fuel. So to keep from having a disaster I park my vehicle outside in the driveway.

- Huntsville, AL, USA

Filled my car with fuel and parked in my garage and about an hour later I went back out to my garage and the whole garage smelled like fuel. I was afraid the garage would catch fire as my water heater is in there so I pulled my car out and searched for a leak. I could not find one and the next day I took the car to my dealer. They found leaks in both tanks and I spent $2000 repairing the car. I was told they knew about the problem but that my extended warranty coverage they put on this issue expired just weeks prior. I was never informed of this problem as I am the second owner. This should never have been a special extended warranty due to the hazardous nature of this system. This should have been fixed at no expense to me. Wanted to tell you that this happened on 12-24-17 but your form will not allow me to put in that date.

Fuel tank leaks (driver's side) out of the top when filled. GM special coverage adjustment 15682 should cover past when vehicle was 'placed in service' and instead should instead read '10 years or 120,000 miles' - this fuel leak is a serious safety issue and should be covered.

- Marana, AZ, USA

I received a notice in January 2017 that there was a fuel system problem (special notice 15682) and Chevrolet (GM) was going to extend the warranty for 10 years for my 2007 Corvette. I got the notice 10 years after GM acknowledged the problem so their remedy doesn't exist! the fuel smell is so excessive that I am afraid to keep the car in the garage so I took it to the dealer. I was told that since the car is 10 years old GM will not honor the notice. This is the second GM vehicle that I have had this same problem with (had it with a 2004 SUV) and GM refused to honor the recall because the serial number was not in the rage of their special notice even though it had excessive fuel odors. That one cost me $3200. GM has a track record of sending notices (likely to avoid legal action or being forced into a recall) and not honoring them. This is highly unsafe and could cause fire/explosion. At this point it is my hope that your Agency will force GM to recall all Corvettes with this problem and cover the associated costs. This notice says, in bold and underlining, do not take your vehicle to the Chevrolet dealer as a result of this latte unless you believe that your vehicle has the condition described above. I had inquired about this recall on 3/8/2017 at the dealer. Since the smell of fuel was not present I was told that it may not have been an affected vehicle

Recently after I park my car in the garage I get a strong odor of gas fumes.it has gotten worse each time after driving.the fumes are very strong.the car only has 30, 000 miles.today I discovered a gas stain on the garage floor below the gas tank.the tank is less than 1/2 full.I have a gas water heater in garage that could cause a fire. After checking about this problem I found that many Corvette owners have the same problem.GM better resolve this very serious sitution before someone is killed.these gas tanks are defective and must be recalled!
