What owners say about the fuel/propulsion system
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Fuel smell - possible fuel leak - the issue had been previously addressed with replacement of fuel subassembly in both saddle tanks. I believe that it is happening again ...”
“There was a strong fuel smell after the last 2 times I drove it. I took it to the shop and they tell me the evap canister was saturated and the fuel pump had small cracks in it likely seeping when the car heats up. I am having the fuel pump replaced, the evap canister and several seals/hoses in hopes it won't leak again.”
“After filling the tank with fuel, I was immediately aware of a strong smell of gas. I am always extremely careful not to overfill causing any fuel to escape. The heavy smell/escape of fumes is such that the car simply can’t be put in my garage. The risk of igniting and fire is a risk that is unacceptable. General Motors knows about this issue as they did notify me in 2017 that my car could have this condition and that if it did, they would fix it at no charge. I didn’t have the issue at that time so didn’t take the car in. So, now that I the problem, I have taken the car to Bradley Chevrolet in my town, Lake Havasu City, AZ and am told that in order to inspect the car for this issue, I will have to pay for 10 hours of labor ($2200) and only then will they see if they can find a new tank at another dealer. You see, GM no longer makes or has the tanks (according to their parts department). I have contacted their Customer Service Department and have a Case (#[XXX]). I am told that they will not participate going forward unless I spend the $2200 and then if they can’t find a new tank, they will put the car back together and send me home with it! It’s my belief that…”
“Fuel smell but no leaks detected, can't store car in garage because of fumes. Worried when driving a fire will occur Had a service bulletin 150682 special vehicle adjustment, need help.”
“The fuel tank leaks after filling with fuel, resulting in gas vapors filling the garage. This is a known issue with many C6 corvettes. May result in a fire or explosion”
“There is a strong smell of gasoline coming from the outside of the car. It is strongest once the car has been sitting in my garage overnight. Some evidence of fuel under the car.”
