2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

MY SHIFT LEVER (A6) FREQUENTLY LOCKS ON P. I NEED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SHIFTER (2006-08 CORVETTE AT (25913058) I AM INFORMED ABOUT THE FRENCH AND AMERICAN FORUMS AND IT IS A VERY COMMON FLAW TO THE CORVETTE C6. YET THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY REMINDERS TO CORRECT THIS FLAW. THE INFAMOUS DASH BUZZING (WINDSHIELD COWL) PROBLEM ALSO, I HAVE TREMENDOUS VIBRATIONS IN THE WINDSCREEN AND THIS IS PART OF THE FREQUENT FLAWS ON THE C6 CORVETTES CAN BE UNTIL THE YEAR 2010. MY CORVETTE HAD 77600 KM AT THE TIME OF THE FACTS CAN YOU HELP ME FOR GM FRANCE TO TAKE CARE OF THESE VEHICLE DESIGN FLAWS. THANK YOU THE 1ST PHONE NUMBER IS NOT CORRECT IT IS TO VALIDATE MY REQUEST I USED GOOGLE TRANSLATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE REMAINED ENGAGED IN GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PASO ROBLES CHEVROLET (2485 THEATRE DR, PASO ROBLES, CA 93446, (805) 238-7800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,500. *TT

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR'S GAS GAUGE WILL DROP TO ZERO AND THE SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM LIGHT WILL COME ON. AFTER A WHILE, IT WOULD GO BACK TAND NORMAL. TO ADD TO THIS ISSUE, WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL THAT FILLS THE GARAGE. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE LAST YEAR.

VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL IN GARAGE, THIS HAPPENS AFTER FILLING TANK. SMELL GOES AWAY AFTER SOME FUEL IS USED UP. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE AUGUST 2011. THIS PROBLEM STARTED APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT STARTED A WHILE AGO IS THAT SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION WON'T COME OUT OF PARK, THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDS TO BE TAPPED REPEATEDLY WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK

I AM WRITING THIS IN REGARDS TO MY 2008 CHEVY CORVETTE. THERE IS AN ISSUE OF GAS FUMES COMING FROM THE CAR WHENEVER THE CAR IS OVER HALF FULL. IT VEY BAD AND STARTS WHEN THE CAR GETS OVER 30K-40K MILES ON THEM. I HAVE BEEN ON FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH 2008-2009 CORVETTES HAVING FAULTY PARTS AROUND THE GAS TANK WHICH START TO LEAK. GM ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IF NOT FIXED CAN LEAD TO GAS MIXING WITH HOT EXHAUST AND RESULTING IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION OF THE CARS FUEL CELL. I HOPE THIS HELPS GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

A STRONG FUEL ODOR IS EMANATING FROM THE CAR FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL AREA WHERE A TANK IS LOCATED. THE ODOR IS PARTICULARLY STRONG WHEN DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IN 100+ DEGREE HEAT IN THE DESERT SOUTHWEST.

I JUST HAD MY MANDATED 08 C6 EMISSIONS RECALL DONE. NOW WHILE IN DRIVE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES, ALONG WITH PARTS OF THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE CENTER CONSOLE. IT IS THE NEW RESONANCE FROM THE MID CATS AND RPM IDLE CHANGE. PLUS I DROVE IT 60 MILES, THEN TOOK TEMP READINGS WITH A LASER TEMP GUN...MY RIGHT PANT LEG WAS AT 95 DEGREES, AND THE SEAT BELT PLASTIC ATTACHMENT WAS AT 115 DEGREES. I THEN MEASURED THE TEMP INSIDE THE CENTER CONSOLE...140 DEGREES. ALSO ON AVERAGE, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING 10 TO 15 DEGREES HOTTER(DUE TO MORE BACK PRESSURE AND THE LEANING OF THE AIR FUEL MIXTURE) WHEN I PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE AND GOT OUT...YOU COULD FEEL A STRONG WAVE OF HEAT COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP THAT I TOOK IT TO AGREES WITH MY CONCLUSIONS. HOWEVER, GM CORPORATE IS NOT HELPING ME TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES.

COULD NOT SHIFT (AUTO TRANS) OUT OF PARK VEHICLE IS 10 YEAR OLD, 3,974 MILES, NEVER BEEN IN RAIN, KEPT IN CLIMATE CONTROL ENVIRONMENT.

CAR IS SMELLING A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WHICH HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR 2008 CORVETTES

FUEL SMELL EMANATING FROM GAS FILLER AREA. HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS SO THAT IT IS PROMINENT WHEN ENTERING THE GARAGE WHERE IT IS STORED.
