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

Transmission gets stuck in park position and I am unable to shift it into any other gear. Unable to move the car if it's in a dangerous location.

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.

There is a strong smell of gas in the passenger compartment and a very strong smell of gas gas on the drivers side near the rear tire. The Chevy dealer has confirmed the the gas smell is due to a know defect where the fuel pump develops cracks in the housing because of the poor quality plastic used. The dealer estimates that it will cost between $3,000 to $4,000 to repair. This is a very dangerous problem. I'm afraid with the very strong smell of gas that an electric spark might cause the car to explode or when it's stored inside cause a vehicle and structure fire. Why has the NHTSA not made GM do a recall for this defect. It is a very serious problem. Owners of any C6 corvette are sitting on a time bomb and their life is in danger. GM has already admitted that it is a design defect but has only issued a service bulletin. Do something before people die.

This car has suffered a known defect that causes fuel to leak out of the tank when the tank is more than 1/2 full. Unfortunately, the leak in my vehicle occurred outside the window that GM arbitrarily set up. (10 years after vehicle put in service or 120,000 miles whichever comes first. My vehicle is a 2008 with 94,000 miles and the problem occurred recently and after GM's window. Therefore, GM will not fix this leaking fuel tank and correct a potentially life-threatening issue. The problem is that this is a serious safety issue with strong fumes inside the cars cabin and strong fumes outside the vehicle with leaking fuel on the tank. The fumes and the leaking fuel are both extreme fire issues. This is a known issue and a known condition that could cause fire and loss of life. NHTSA needs to issue an immediate safety recall to have GM fix all of these leaking fuel tanks.

Gas smells when tank is over half full it’s the plastic fuel system on to of tank is starting to crack and I was reading they have been recalled before but has gone off and this is danger and might cause a fire with the saddle bags across the back and only 30,700 miles on car

I just bought a 2008 Chevy Corvette convertible and parked in the garage. The next morning the garage has distinct smell of gas throughout the garage. If my heater to the house would have kicked on the house would have blown up. This is a safety issue which should be addressed by Chevy. After researching the issue, it seems to be a common issue, which should be a recall. Even after moving it outside, when I get in the car it smells of gas.

After refilling my car with gas and parking it in my garage, I noticed that fuel was actively LEAKING from the bottom of my car!@#! Within a few minutes, fuel was pooling under my car on the garage floor. I immediately moved it outside and ran the car for an hour to use up enough fuel so that it was no longer actively leaking. Unfortunately, there still remains an extremely strong fuel smell, even inside the car when driving. With this fuel smell there are strong vapors in my garage. I have to park the car outside all the time, otherwise my garage will be filled with gas vapors immediately (kind of like an air-fuel bomb). The dealer tells me that it will cost $3000-4000 to fix it. This is a HUGE safety issue and should be covered under a factory recall!!!!
