2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

Upon filling fuel tank and returning home and parking vehicle in garage, fuel smell and leak was confirmed on floor of garage. Vehicle was taken to a automotive center to have inspected and automotive center stated " fuel leaking when filling with fuel." Automotive center states "was able to inspect with an inspection camera and found that top of fuel tank is leaking at the fuel pump module seal to the tank. Also can see the vapor valve is wet from fuel as well. Recommend both pumps and evap valve." Concerned for safety of vehicle when driving and parked.

I AM A ONE-TIME OWNER OF A 2011 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT VEHICLE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT FOLLOWING A FILLING OF THE GAS TANK TO FULL, A SIGNIFICANT AND PERSISTENT GASOLINE SMELL APPEARS IN MY GARAGE. I EVENTUALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON FEBRUARY 3, 2021 IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I WAS TOLD THAT A GAS LEAK WAS OBSERVED FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK. IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT OF THE GAS TANK COULD NOT BE FOUND. I AM NOW VERY RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE WITH ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON IT. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LINKAGE CABLE HAS PLASTIC GROMMETS THAT CONNECT THE SHIFT HANDLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE PLASTIC GROMMETS BROKE DISABLING THE ABILITY TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTO ANY GEAR. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY CONCERN IS IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR.

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP PASSED HALF , THERE IS A STRONG SCENT OF FUEL IN THE CAR THAT WON'T GO AWAY.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS A P0442. I CAN SMELL FUEL AFTER LIGHT COMES ON MOSTLY AND LOWER SPEEDS (UNDER 10 MPH) AND ALWAYS AT A STOP. WHEN I FILL UP IT IS A DEFINITE UNDER BOTH CIRCUMSTANCES. I WAS POINTED TO A NEW GAS CAP. I'VE REPLACED 2 AND THE CODE CONTINUES TO RETURN AND THE SMELL OF FUEL IS OUTSTANDING AND SEEMS UNSAFE FOR THE POTENCY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT TURN, THE BRAKES ERRONEOUSLY APPLIED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY STOP. DURING THE FAILURE, THE MESSAGE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER JIM TRENARY CHEVROLET (501 AUTO MALL DR, O'FALLON, MO 63368) AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

GAS LEAKING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE TANK. TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL AND ODOR IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE.

MY 2011 GRAND SPORT CORVETTE HAS A FUEL SMELL/LEAK ON THE DRIVER SIDE FUEL TANK. GM HAS ALREADY RECOGNIZED THIS DEFECT. I NEED THIS REPAIR MADE ON THIS DEFECT MADE AT GM'S EXPENSE.

THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE HOSE THAT CONNECTS THE BRAKE 'HARD LINES' TO THE CALIPER FAILED. THE RUBBER PORTION SEPARATED FROM THE FITTING ON THE CALIPER CAUSING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ALL BRAKE FLUID DUMPED OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND INSIDE OF THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED UNDER HARD BRAKE PRESSURE. MIRACULOUSLY, I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND OBSTACLES AND AVOID SERIOUS COLLISION. I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT. UPON REMOVING THE WHEEL, THE BRAKE HOSE WAS HANGING FREE OF THE CALIPER DRAINING WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE CONTENTS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE GROUND.

I HAD JUST PUT GAS IN THE CAR. PARKED IT AND LATER NOTICED A GAS FUEL ODOR IN MY GARAGE. AFTER RESEACHING IT ON LINE, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A FUEL TANK ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBLITY FOR IT.
