2008 Chevrolet Corvette

Low beams don't work when the engine gets hot, I was driving the other night at 10pm and the headlights went out. Pitch black and almost wrecked.......This is a know issue..... Fuel pump has small cracks in the top of driver side fuel pump could start fire, and its a know issue....... Heads on the LS7 also know valve issue. It will ruin the motor.....

I was preparing 2008 corvette with 93k miles for winter storage end of 2022. Filled tank and put in garage with cover. Next day strong smell of fuel filled garage. Looked into other cases if this was common and found that there were a lot of customers with same problem cracked fittings on fuel pumps but coverage was only for 10 yrs. Fuel can drip down onto exhaust from what I read on others post. Now I'm very concerned about it catching fire anytime it would be driven and or parked in garage.. Why would chevrolet not recall a dangerous problem like this and surely prevent a possible fatality. 10 yrs for those who barely drive vehicle like me and plenty of very low miles owners is not long enough for coverage.

The vehicle has a very strong odor of gasoline, both outside and inside the vehicle. Initial research indicates that Chevrolet is aware of the problem and offered a limited time solution to those experiencing the issue, which has now expired. The issue is a faulty fuel pump assembly on the driver's side of the vehicle, where one of the fittings is know to crack. This results in fuel vapors and fuel to leak from the top of the tank. The concern, other than the nauseating smell, is that fuel can leak onto the exhaust and catch fire.

Hawley Motors delivered vehicle to our home on 10/23/2022 that we had just purchased and pick up our trade-in vehicle. We put the newly purchased vehicle in the garage within a short time started to smell fuel. At that time, we just thought they over filled tank and that was just from the over filling. Next day when we return from an event in the evening, the smell had permeated throughout the home not just garage. I checked online and found that this is a common problem with this vehicle and year. The plastic fuel module cracks and let's fuel leak. These is obviously very dangerous!
