FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Purchased 3 weeks ago. Third time filling up and first time in the garage. Noticed the fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. Car only has 55k miles, this should not be an issue. Is Chevy going to fix this or am I out the 2k repair bill?

The fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. There should be a lot of reports of this happening on this vehicle and it is more dangerous than any other defect I have ever heard of.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

After filling up my gas tank in my 2010 Chevrolet Corvette I notice a strong gas smell that permeates through my entire garage and house. Upon investigation from an auto repair shop it has been determined I need to replace a faulty cracked fuel pump. Upon further investigation it seems there was a "Special Coverage Adjustment" from GM for this repair only for up to 120k miles. This should be a recall!!! as it is a very dangerous situation! So because I am over 120k , (just purchased from dealer) I am responsible for the 3k repair? That is 100% not acceptable. 15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks Copyright 2016 General Motors. Reference Number: N150682 Release Date: January 2017 GWM Number: 2015682

Seems to be a common issue and GM has a tsb for it but they only covered the repare for 10 years and 120k I am at 11 with 70k miles. The fuel is leaking from the top of the tank and could cause a fire.

My 2010 Chevrolett Grand Sport has developed a very strong odor of gasoline. Both when parked in garage and while driving. It’s obviously leaking gasoline somewhere which could result in a fire or death.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I NOTICED THE HEAVY SMELL OF GAS FUMES AFTER PUTTING GAS IN MY VET. THE SMELL IS MOST PROMINENT WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE. I AM SURE THAT THE SMELL IS ALWAYS PRESENT AND THAT BEING PARKED IN A PARKING LOT OR OUTSIDE DISSIPATES THE SMELL. I HAVE TRIED FILLING THE TANK HALF WAY TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP BUT THE SMELL OF GAS IS STILL THERE. IT IS STRONGEST IN THE REAR HATCH AREA ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE SMELL IN GARAGE IS SO STRONG I HAVE TO LEAVE THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN TO VENT. I AM FEARFUL THAT THE FUMES MAY IGNITE MY GAS WATER HEATER WHICH IS LOCATED ABOUT 7-8FT AWAY OR START A CAR FIRE IF GAS HITS THE HOT EXHAUST PIPE. THIS IS TRULY SOMETHING THAT CHEVY NEEDS TO REVIEW TO SEE IF FAULTY EQUIPMENT WAS PLACED IN THE C6 MODELS. I HAVE HAD THE VET FOR 4 YEARS IT IS A 2010 AND THE MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 55K. I JUST NOTICED THIS ISSUE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I HOPE THAT MY PROPERTY IS NOT DAMAGED BY A FUEL SOURCE ORIGINATING FROM THE CAR OR WORSE YET, A DEATH RELATED TO AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE.

AFTER FUELING AND FOR AT LEAST 100 MILES AFTERWARD THERE IS A DISTINCT GASOLINE SMELL INSIDE THE CAR AND IN THE GARAGE. NO LEAKAGE NOTICED UNDER THE CAR. TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHO PERFORMED THE SMOKE TEST WHICH IT FAILED. THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND SENDING UNIT AT NO CHARGE. THIS OFFER FROM CHEVROLET EXPIRES AFTER 10 YEARS OR 120000 MILES CURRENTLY. THIS REMEDIATION SHOULD BE A RECALL OR A PERMANENT TECHNICAL SOLUTION FOR ANY CORVETTE OF THIS MODEL THAT EXPERIENCES THIS INCREASINGLY SERIOUS PROBLEM, NO MATTER WHEN IT OCCURS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK, I SMELL A STRONG GAS SMELL PRIMARILY FROM THE LEFT REAR (WHERE I FILL UP) SIDE OF THE CAR. IT FILLS MY GARAGE WITH STRONG FUMES AND I DON'T FEEL SAVE STARTING IT, MUCH LESS DRIVING IT. I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING IN THE CABIN, ONLY WHEN IT'S IN THE GARAGE. ALSO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I'M LOOSING GAS AND FUEL ECONOMY SO THAT'S A DRAG. I'VE LOOKED AT POSSIBLE CAUSES, AND IT COULD BE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS SO IT'S CURRENTLY UKNOWN AS FAR AS WHAT PART IS EXACTLY WRONG. I SMELL THE FUMES WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.
