2011 Chevrolet Corvette problems

“I bought this vehicle in XXX with about 39k miles. About a year after purchase, I began smelling gasoline in my garage after I filled the tank. I have consulted Corvette forum ([XXX]) and find this is a common problem. If I fill the tank more than halfway, it seems to occur consistently. I recognize this car has no warranty, but this seems to be both common and a serious safety concern.”

“I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE WITH ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON IT. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE CABLE HAS PLASTIC GROMMETS THAT CONNECT THE SHIFT HANDLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE PLASTIC GROMMETS BROKE DISABLING THE ABILITY TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTO ANY GEAR. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR.”

“Air bag light in dashboard seemingly randomly turns on and off while driving and is usually on indicating an issue with the air bag system. To begin with the light was only intermittently on but over time it has reversed and now the light only turns off intermittently.”

“My entire garage is filled with gas fumes after I filled my car up to full yesterday. I drive my car once every 2 weeks and this is filling my garage with fumes. There are no visible leaks, there is a technical service bulletin regarding a gas tank issue that expired. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? UNKNOWN, the vehicle is available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I could smell gas fumes from inside my garage door. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? It will be tomorrow. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet. Haven't got that far. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Appeared today, drove for 2 hours each direction yesterday after a 75% tank fill.”
