2008 Chevrolet Corvette

RHADAMANTHUS GAS SMELL IN CAB. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A CRACKED ELBOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FUEL-PUMP. IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER EMISSIONS SO IT COST ME $2000.00 TO HAVE FIXED. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON NUMEROUS FORUMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND G.M. WILL NOT ADDRESS IT. I'M PISSED. A RECALL IS NEEDED. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO GET THIS RECALL.MTHANKS

DURING THE JULY TIME FRAME I PARKED MY CAR IN MY GARAGE. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT INTO THE GARAGE AND SMELLED AN OVERWHELMING ODOR OF GAS FUMES. I IMMEDIATELY REMOVED THE CAR FROM THE GARAGE AND PARKED ON THE STREET. I WENT TO WORK THAT DAY AND WHILE DRIVING I SMELL GAS FUMES IN THE COCKPIT. I PARKED MY CAR AND OPENED THE TRUNK. I SMELLED GAS FUMES THERE AS WELL. IT HAS COME TO THE POINT I WILL NOT PARK MY VETTE IN THE GARAGE FOR FEAR OF THE HOUSE BURNING DOWN. I DO NOT DRIVE MY CAR TO WORK FOR FEAR OF THE CAR EXPLODING AND KILLING ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY DID NOT DETECT THE SMELL OF GAS FUMES EITHER. I FEAR PARKING THE CAR IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE I DO NEED A PLACE TO LIVE. THE CAR WILL REMAINED PARKED OUTSIDE UNTIL THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION IS RESOLVED. LETS BE PROACTIVE NOT REACTIVE.

OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR EMANATING FROM THE LEFT REAR PORTION OF MY 2008 CORVETTE. WITHOUT HAVING THE CAR ON A LIFT, VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE DRIVER SIDE FUEL TANK REVEALS A "WET" LOOK CREEPING DOWN THE REAR SIDE OF THE TANK. AGAIN, WITHOUT THE AID OF A LIFT, I WAS ABLE TO FIX A RAG ON THE END OF A DEVICE AND SWIPE THE "WET" AREA. THE RAG PICKED UP A BIT OF THIS "WET" AND A SIMPLE SNIFF LEFT NO DOUBT THAT THE "WET" IS A GASOLINE LEAK THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING OUT THE TOP OF THE TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON FAILED TO RELEASE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

ON 8/20/2015 I FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS AND AS SOON AS DROVE AWAY THE COCKPIT STARED TO SMELL LIKE GAS I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE SPILLED SOME OM SHOE, THE ODOR WAS GETTING OVERWHELMING . WHEN I GOT HOME NOTHING WAS ON MY SHOE SO I LOOKED AROUND THE CAR FOR A LEAK.I DIDN'T SEE OR FIND ANYTHING BUT DID FIND A BAD GAS SMELL FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE, THERE WAS A ODOR OF RAW GAS IT WAS EXTREMELY BAD FOR I FEARED THAT MY HOUSE WOULD BLOW UP DO TO THE WATER HEATER HAVING A FLAME. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE . THE CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALER AND WAITING FOR THE PROGNOSIS 8/22/2015 I WILL REPORT MORE WHEN I FIND OUT WHAT THEY FOUND .
