2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

I PURCHASED 2011 C6 CORVETTE. I HAD THE CORVETTE REPAIR BECAUSE I VERY BAD GAS SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.. SO I TAKE IT TO CORVETTE MECHANIC. IT COST ME 4K TO FIX.. OUCH ..I BEEN LOOKING FOR RECALL ON THIS YEAR AND FOUND NOTHING.. I FOUND ON 06 CORVETTE. BUT THE SAMETHING IS HAPPEN ON THE 2011 C6 .. WHY? I CAN'T PLACE THE VETTE IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE THE SMELL WAS TOO BAD..

GEAR SHIFTER FAILED. STUCK IN DRIVE...HAD TO SHUT CAR OFF TO STOP MOTION AND AVOID COLLISION. OTHER REPORTS INDICATE NUMEROUS SIMILAR FAILURES ON LOW MILEAGE CORVETTES.

DEAR SIR OR MADAM, I PURCHASED A USED 2011 CORVETTE A YEAR AGO. THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL WELL WHEN THE TANK IS NEAR FULL. THIS HAS OCCURRED FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT AND CONTINUES TODAY. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. I BECAME AWARE OF RECALL FOR CRACKING OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH PRODUCES A GASOLINE VAPOR LEAK.. THE RECALL IS FROM JULY 2016, REF# N150682, GWM# 2015682. I FOUND THE RECALL INFORMATION ON A CORVETTE FORUM. THE LETTER SAYS THE RECALL IS GOOD FOR 10 YEARS FROM THE IN-SERVICE DATE WITH UNLIMITED MILEAGE. SO IT SHOULD STILL BE AVAILABLE FOR MY 2011 VEHICLE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL SHOWING ON THE GM SYSTEM FOR MY CAR. THE DEALER IS MARCHANT CHEVROLET, 5700 SAVANNAH HIGHWAY, RAVENEL SC 29470, 843-564-1394. CAN YOU HELP ME GET THE DEALER TO RECOGNIZE THE RECALL? THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR APPLIED RIGHT FRONT BRAKE ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE, CAUSING A SEVERE SWERVE INTO SHOULDER OF ROAD. THERE IS A KNOWN ACTIVE HANDLING FAULT ON THESE CARS. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR TWICE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 3200 MILES ON IT. THERE IS A SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING LIGHT ON THE DASH NOW. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED INDEPENDENTLY, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JEFF WYLER DIXIE CHEVROLET (5340 DIXIE HWY, LOUISVILLE, KY 40216) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A MISFIRE CYLINDER NUMBER 6 AND FRACTURED VALVE SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE COVER TO GO OVER THE SPRING WAS BURNT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE GASKET UNDERNEATH THE MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN ONCE AGAIN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THIS TIME WITH A MANIFOLD, THE COIL SPARK CORD AND MISFIRE CYLINDER 5 AND 6 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 37,015.

CAR HAS A VERY STRONG FUEL ODOR WHEN FILLING TANK OVER HALF FULL. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES GO TO EMPTY PROMPTING A " SERVICE FUEL SYSTEM" MESSAGE ON DISPLAY SCREEN FOR 30-40 SECONDS, THEN GOES BACK TO PREVIOUS LEVEL READING. I'VE OWNED CAR FOR 4 YEARS, I REMEMBER GETTING A G.M. RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT, BUT I CAN'T FIND IT NOW.

I OWN A 2011 CORVETTE C6 AND IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, I GET A STRONG SMELL OF GAS THAT IS CONSTANT. I HAVE READ THREADS ON THE CORVETTE FORMS AND FOUND THIS IS A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP AND IT LEAKS OUT AND COLLECTS INTO THE PAN THAT SUPPORTS THE GAS TANK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN START A FIRE ALONG WITH FUMES IN THE GARAGE AND SOMETIME GAS WATER HEATERS ARE LOCATED IN THE GARAGE. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A RECALL.

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE THERE ARE STRONG GAS FUMES IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING ME TO VENT THE CAR INTERIORS BY LOWERING THE WINDOWS AND APPLY THE A/C FANS ON HIGH........ ALSO THE CAR HORNS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT REASON WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND ALSO AFFECTED THE ALARM SYSTEM

SMELL OF GAS. MAINLY FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL. MOST NOTICEABLE WHILE PARK BUT NOTICEABLE WHILE DRIVING AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING OVER 30 MPH THE CAR WILL BRAKE AND THE DIGITAL INFORMATION CENTER WILL SHOW "ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" AND VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE AND IS A SAFETY RISK
