I BOUGHT THE CAR ON 9/8/16. I SMELLED GAS AS IT SAT IDLING AT DEALERSHIP ( RICK HENDRICKS OF BUFORD GA. ) AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FUMES. I GOT HOME AND PARKED IT, 1/2 TANK. I DID NOT SMELL GAS THEN. I LEFT FOR WEEK LONG TRIP AND RETURNED ON 9/15/16. I FILLED THE CAR TO DRIVE AND WENT TO A MEETING THAT NIGHT. A FRIEND WAS CHECKING HIS CAR AFTER I PARKED NEXT TO HIM SAYING HE SMELLED GAS. I TOLD HIM I HAD AFTER I FILLED MINE. I HAS A PUDDLE UNDER ME CAR AS LARGE AS A SEMI TRUCK TIRE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO GLENN SMITH CHEV IN OPELIKA AL. THEY STILL HAVE CAR AND HAVE ORDERED THE LEFT SIDE TANK TO REPLACE. CAR HAS AROUND 335 MILES ON IT. I AM WAITING TO GET MY CAR BACK.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BEZELS ON MY 2016 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN, THEY SNAP IN/OUT. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE SOMEONE STOLE MINE AND I'M SURE THEY WERE ALSO WANTING TO GET THE TAIL LIGHTS. ANYWAY, THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BEZELS ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN, THEY SNAP IN/OUT. SOMEONE CAN EASILY STEAL MY TAIL LIGHTS AFTER THE BEZELS ARE REMOVED MAKING MY CAR UNSAFE FOR TRAVEL. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY HOME UNDER A CAR PORT. THERE ARE LOTS OF ONLINE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT TEACH ANYONE HOW TO REMOVE THESE BEZELS WITH JUST A SMALL TOOL TO GRAB ONTO THE BEZEL.

SECOND 2016 CORVETTE, FIRST ONE GM TOOK BACK. NOW SECOND CORVETTE WITH SAME ISSUE. GAS LEAKING FROM UNDER CAR!
