2013 Chevrolet Corvette problems

“Strong smell of fuel after parking the car in the garage. Inspection by the dealership confirmed the fuel pump assembly is leaking. The car was left for replacement of the fuel pump assembly due to the strong possibility of fire. This is a known issue with the C6 model of Corvette and was addressed by a gm TSB in 2011 rather than more appropriately by a recall. Of more concern to me is the fact that my car was produced in 2013 with a known defective part affecting safety. The cost of the repair is over $5000.”

“Passenger side air bag module will not arm the air bag system when any person sits in the seat. Have made multiple attempts to purchase the air bag presence module since June of 2022. Once with dealer, could not get the part, and two more times online. Each time I am told the part is on back order and they have no timeline as to when the part will become available. So I have a $86,000 Corvette that my wife or son cannot ride in because the air bag sensor is faulty.”

“My Corvette c6 model has had a longterm issue with the left fuel pump, which I was not made aware of by the local dealership servicing my vehicle or the manufacturer, General Motors. I recently discovered the fuel pump issue, which results in a significant fuel leak thru the bottom left side of the vehicle. GM and the dealership failed to notify me of this issue even though they issued a Special Bulletin that addresses the fuel pump issue and which advises dealerships to repair the vehicle at no cost to the owner - me. I have complained to General Motors and I'm currently awaiting their response to my complaint and request for assistance with the repairs. As of 9:00 am Pacific Time, December 9, 2024, I've received no response from GM. My concern and reason for this report is GM's failure and the dealership's failure to notify me, and failure to issue a recall for this significant and dangerous problem with my vehicle.”

“THREE WHEELS HAVE CRACKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE 2 ORIGINAL 20 INCH REAR WHEELS INSTALLED BY GENERAL MOTORS CRACKED, LEAKED AIR AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW ONE OF THOSE REPLACEMENT WHEELS HAS CRACKED, LEAKS AIR AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. IN ALL CASES THERE HAVE BEEN NO EVENTS CONCURRENT WITH THE WHEELS LOSING AIR.”
