2008 Chevrolet Corvette fuel/propulsion system problems

“Fuel system leak. Strong odor of gasoline fuel both around and inside the vehicle. No noticeable fuel product on the ground or underneath the vehicle. I am greatly concerned that this is a very significant fire and vehicle operator/occupant safety hazard. I have also found many other C6 generation Corvette owners online that are experiencing the same thing to their C6 Corvette.”

“I am a long time Corvette owner and have purchased many through the years. I recently purchased a 2008 Corvette Coupe with only 30k miles, one owner vehicle. Unbelievable to me, I have had to spend over $4,000 the past month replacing the ECM and most notably the Fuel Pump, to relieve the constant Fuel Smell, not to mention the rack and pinion steering gear needs to be replaced, with again, only 30k miles on the vehicle, and that part is discontinued. The failure of the ECM almost cost my wife and I our life when we were coming home to [XXX] from [XXX] . The car completely lost all power on the highway and we almost got railed by traffic. Not a good situation to say the least. I almost had a heart attack. So we had to have it towed and finally made it home, only to find out the next day after a nice ride, my entire garage was overwhelmed with a gas smell that evening which permeated through the whole house. I took notice that GM covered this exact situation with GM Bulletin # xxx back in 2017, so they KNEW there was a problem! My question is, how can GM not cover this NOW. Many 2008 Corvettes are still being bought and sold. I spent over $2800 for this last…”

“My recently purchased 2008 was taken to the local chevy dealer for gas fumes in the garage. The technician reported "The smell is coming from the sending unit on the driver side. There was fuel dripping down the side of the tank and the tank was wet. So the sending unit needs to be replaced" The car has only 16,427 miles on it and has been garage kept. I believe that leaking fuel is a very serious safety issue and that the now expired special service bulletin 150682 should have been a mandatory recall.”

“Fuel sending unit in gas tank behind the drivers side is leaking gas making it impossible to park the car in the garage. There is a great possibility of fire due to this issue. No, I have not taken it to the dealer as of today but I am going to schedule it. No. No.”

“cracked fuel pump housing causing vapors to vent out possibly causing a fire if stored extended periods of time indoors, and if crack is big enough fuel will drip down the back of the fuel tank onto the exhaust and possibly starting a vehicle fire”

“Bought this vehicle recently and filled it up with fuel and fumes overtook the cabin area and some leaked out the top of the tank down through the tank support. From the research I have done, this is a common problem that Chevy has ignored. The parts are too expensive to just replace everything with new.”
