2009 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

CAR HAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE ESPECIALLY AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, I NEVER OVER FILL THE TANK, WHEN I PARK IN MY GARAGE MY WHOLE GARAGE SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE.I SMELL IT MORE WHEN TH CARE IS STATIONERY .

EBCM WAS RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER GM PRODUCTS BUT NOT THE CORVETTE, BUT THE FORUM SAID A PROBLEMS EXISTS. I HAVE 100,030 MILES AND THE' SERVICE HANDLING SYSTEM ' WARNING IS ON WHICH CAN BE IMITATED FROM THE EBCM.

2009 CORVETTE Z06, VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL BOTH IN CAB AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE!!! LOOKED UNDER CAR ON DRIVERS SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO SEE WET/DAMP AREAS AROUND FUEL TANK. WHAT REALLY SUCKS, IS THAT I CANT EVEN PARK IT IN MY GARAGE. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG, I'M AFRAID SOMETHING WILL CAUSE THE FUMES TO IGNITE AND PUT EVERYONE'S LIVES IN DANGER. I LOOKED ON ALLDATADIY AND FOUND A RECALL/SERVICE BULLETIN HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID BASED ON MY VIN# THAT MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED....WTF!!!!! HOW CAN IT NOT BE? MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL/SERVICE BULLETIN SAYS.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS ABOVE 1/2 IS SMELL LIKE FUEL IN MY GARAGE THERE A RECALL I HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE WRITER CALL GMC AND TOLD HIM THAT THEY ONLY COVER 30 %,IT WAS DO AT THE END OF THE YEAR OR 120,000MIL I DON'T HAVE NONE OF THOSE IT BELOW MIL AND TIME

VALVE GUIDES WORN - ALL- OUT OF SPECIFICATION AT 30K MILES, HEADS REMOVED AND VALVE GUIDES AND EXHAUST VALVES REPLACED.

THERE IS A STRONG GAS ODOR COMING FROM THE FUEL FILLER TUBE (DRIVER'S SIDE) AREA AND AN EVEN STRONGER SMELL ON THE INSIDE OF THE COCKPIT. BUT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS ON THE DRIVER WAY (INCLINED) OR GARAGE FLOOR. AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE WET AREAS UNDER THE TANKS OR TANK SHIELDS. GAS ODOR IS RELATED TO GM BULLETIN #15682 DATED JULY 2016.

CAR WILL NOT START WITH TRANSMISSION IN PARK. BATTERY IS NEW AND FULLY CHARGED. PREVIOUS TO THIS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE FAILED SUDDENLY LEAVING ME STUCK IN PARK.

THERE IS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS IN THE WHOLE COCKPIT AFTER FILLING UP. I DON'T OVER FILL THE CAR AND I TRY NOT TO GET ANY DROPS SPEWING WHEN FILLING UP. THE SMELL IS STRONGER ON THE REAR SIDE OF DRIVER. I CAN SMELL GAS IN MY GARAGE WHEN I PARK IT IN.

GASOLINE SMELL REALLY BAD IN CAB. NO EVIDENCE OF FUEL LEAK ON GARAGE FLOOR. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM TOP OF TANK, MAYBE.. GARAGE FILLS WITH THESE GASOLINE FUMES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE DAMAGE THIS COULD CAUSE. SEEMS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH 2008-2009 YEAR MODELS. WAITING YOUR REPLY..

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY LATE AT NIGHT, AFTER DRIVING FOR 25 MINUTES, AND THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY GOT DARK. I THOUGHT THAT A FREEWAY MARKER LIGHT HAD GONE OUT, BUT AFTER LOOKING IN FRONT OF ME, I REALIZED I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO A GAS STATION AND CHECKED ALL MY OTHER LIGHTS, AND MY PARKING LIGHTS WERE WORKING, MY FOG LIGHTS WERE WORKING, MY HIGH BEAMS WERE WORKING, AND MY TAIL LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING. MY HEADLIGHTS, OR LOW BEAMS, WERE THE ONLY THING THAT WENT OUT. I HAD TO DRIVE AN HOUR AND A HALF TO REACH MY DESTINATION WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON, WHICH PROBABLY PISSED OFF A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN I REACH MY DESTINATION, I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES FOR THE LOW BEAMS IN THE FUSE BOX, AND THEY WERE ALL GOOD. I PULLED THE RELAY FUSE OUT AND THEN PUT IT BACK, AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE STILL NOT WORKING. THE NEXT MORNING, I CHECKED THE LIGHTS AGAIN AND TRIED ALL POSITIONS OF THE SWITCH ON MY STEERING COLUMN, AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED. ONCE I STARTED DRIVING THE CAR THE HEADLIGHTS QUIT WORKING AGAIN. AGAIN, ALL OTHER LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING INCLUDING MY TAIL LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, AND HIGH BEAMS. LATER IN THE EVENING THE NEXT DAY, THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON WHEN THE COLUMN SWITCH WAS IN THE AUTO POSITION, AND THEY STAYED ON DURING A 20-MINUTE DRIVE DOWN THE FREEWAY. THEY NOW SEEM TO BE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS AS I'M NOT GETTING ANY ERROR CODES AND MY COMPUTER IS NOT REPORTING ANY FAULTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MOST OF MY TIME IS SPENT DRIVING. I HAVE CHECKED THE FORUMS ONLINE FOR PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SITUATION AS MINE, AND THEY ALL REPORTED THAT THE ACTUAL WIRING INTO THE FUSE BOX IS FAULTY. THERE IS NO REPORT OF THIS FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF MY CAR, AND I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS. IT'S VERY SCARY TO GET STUCK OUT IN THE DARK ON A HIGHWAY THAT IS NOT LIT AND NOT HAVE ANY HEADLIGHTS.
