2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE- North Charleston , SC
My car with only 17,000 is generating a very strong gas smell, which completely fills my garage. I've read old notices that preferred to this problem and saw there was many reports in the past from your organization about this problem, that now have all been pulled. As any Corvette forms on line reflects, as it is a continuous problem. I now am keeping mine outside, because of the strong odor. There isn't a gas leak per a Chevrolet dealer and I can't afford the $1,000 in additional labor, their estimate to attempt to figure out. Please assist us (the thousands of other owners effecting 2007 -in 2013). Please help thank you very much on advance, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The vehicle fills my garage with strong gasoline vapors when enclosed. I have to leave it parked outside to clear the odor from my garage. There is a leak somewhere. I have been informed and subsequently read that it is a known problem by GM Chevrolet Corp. I cannot locate an issued recall for this widely known problem with C6 Corvettes

Automatic Transmission Shift Lever. Only inspection would be repair invoice. Shifter would not move. Then it finally moved but would only stop at Drive Location and Neutral Location. Would not go back to the Park position. The problem was confirmed and repaired at an independent service center. Problem components inspected and replaced by an independent service center. There were no warnings . Luckly the problem first appeared while car was parked in my garage

Airbag light in the dashboard goes on and off intermittently. There is a lot of talk on the corvette forum of other people having the same issue. I'm concerned the airbag won't work if it's needed.

2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE- Akron, OH
I have just recently purchased this 2013 Corvette grand sport. I'm come out into my garage this morning March 12th 2022 and there is a trail of fuel leaking from the rear driver's side of the car. Doing a quick online search I have found that this is a common problem on these cars . There is there is a plastic fitting on top of the fuel pump or the fuel tank itself is commonly known to develop a crack. This is an exceptionally dangerous situation as the fuel tank is very close to the hot exhaust when driving. Please advise as to any recourse I may have with GM or any Chevrolet dealership . This is a 2013 corvette with only 46000 miles.

2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE- Richmond, VA
.The internet (Youtube and Corvette Forum) is full of horror stories about the engine valves breaking and dropping into the engine causing a catastrophic engine failure without warning. I was paranoid about driving the car for fear of an engine failure and averting an accident. After reading a plethora of horror stories about numerous LS7, 427 engine failures I felt anxious about driving my car and wanted to fix my engine ASAP and not a moment to soon!!!! I took my car to a shop to determine the condition of the valves and one intake had extensive play in the valve guide - .012" wobble from side to side vs a factory spec of .003". They didn’t check the other head but assuming the worse. I just have my heads refurbed at with only 6k miles on my vehicle. This resulted in me spending $5,350 dollar to remedy the defect before the engine failed and potentially causing an accident. ........this problem seems to be a manufactory defect potentially common to all 427/LS7s built between 2006 and 2013!!!!!

2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE- Surprise, AZ
Car has a constant smell of gasoline coming from it, appears to be leaking from the top of the fuel tank located on the drivers side of the vehicle, then it runs down and fills the fuel tank mounting bracket, could possibly leak onto exhaust pipe causing fire underneath the vehicle.

2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE- Bakersfield , CA
1. Strong fuel smell when the car is parked in garage. Believe it is coming from top of driver's side fuel tank. Vapor is so strong I'm afraid it will explode. Doesn't matter if tank is full or empty. 2. Seat belt air bag warning light is on in the driver's cluster unit. Car only has 35,000 miles. Don't think this is safe. Will need it checked out ASAP at dealer.

2013 CHEVROLET CORVETTE- Vancouver, WA
car only has 31,000 miles on it and it's leaking gas from the top of the gas tank. will need fuel pump replaced. not a safe thing to have cheap parks, spilling gas over the exhaust pipes. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ME! anti lock brake system is also giving issues for a couple years now, noted by previous owner. This car only has 31,000 miles!
