2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

CRACK ON FILLER NECK ON LEFT FUEL TANK WHICH I BELIEVE IS A MFG DEFECT IN THE MOLDING OF THE TANK. GM IS OF THE OPINION THAT THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I DISAGREE AS THE RIGHT TANK IS STILL PERFORMING WITHOUT PROBLEMS. VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN USED FOR COMMUTING AND NEVER ABUSED IN ITS 91,000+ MILES OF LIFE. I AM OF THE BELIEF THAT GM SHOULD REPLACE TANK UNDER THEIR 10 YEAR 120,000 MILE WARRANTY AS THE TANK IS NOT A MOVING PART. ALSO, WHEN TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL, FUEL ODOR FROM LEAK IS EXTREMELY STRONG AND POSSIBLY COMBUSTIBLE. THANK YOU. *TR

GASOLINE SMELL AFTER FILLING FUEL IN TANK. SMELL EXISTS UNTIL TANK GETS TO BELOW HALF. EXISTS WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE. *TR

WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AFTER BEING STARTED,THIS IS AN INTERMENT PROBLEM.THIS CORVETTE HAS ONLY 75,000 MILES ON IT.

CRACKED CROSS-OVER PIPE CONNECTING THE FUEL TANKS. NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR AFTER CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE, TOOK VEHICLE TO YATES GMC WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED. TANKS WERE DROPPED AND A GM TECH DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED CROSS-OVER PIPE THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AND I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE ISSUE DID NOT RESULT IN AN EXPLOSION, I HAVE A GAS WATER HEATER IN MY GARAGE WHICH WAS FILLED (TO THE EXTREME) WITH GAS FUMES WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT CONTACT YATES GMC AUTO SALES (GOODYEAR AZ) FOR DETAILS OF THE ISSUE AND REPAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A STRONG FUEL ODOR EMITTED AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK ON THE TOP DRIVER SIDE FUEL TANK THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

THE FUEL SYSTEM IS LEAKING. IT SENDS OUT GAS FUMES AND I HAVE A THREE CAR ENCLOSED GARAGE AND IT STILL FILLS UP THE GARAGE WITH FUMES SO BAD I SOMETIMES HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE IN THE ELEMENTS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE CAR WITHOUT HOLDING MY BREATH SO THE FUMES CAN DISSIPATE. I AM GETTING THE FUEL PUMPS CHANGED AND THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM CHECKED OUT IN ORDER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL MILEAGE HAS DRAMATICALLY DECREASED REGARDLESS OF WHERE I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY.

TAKATA RECALL GAS SMELL WHEN TANK HAS BEEN FILLED INSIDE CAR AND OUTSIDE CAR IS NOT RUNNING OR RUNNING

A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LEFT PARKED IN THE GARAGE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. IT ALSO IS NOTICED WHEN PARKED IN THE OPEN STREET AS WELL.

AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS, FUEL LEAKS OUT AND LEADS TO OVERWHELMING GASOLINE SMELL WITHIN CLOSED STRUCTURE AND WITHIN CABIN. PROBLEM DISSIPATES AFTER FUEL LEVEL DROPS BELOW 3/4 FULL. DEALER ESTIMATE ON 11/1/2016 SAYS: FUEL COMING DOWN ON LEFT SIDE OF LEFT TANK, NEEDS FUEL PUMP, INTERNAL HOSES AND CROSSOVER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HUB SPEED SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,135....UPDATED 12/06/16 *BF *TR
