2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

CAR BEGAN GUSHING FUEL OUT OF TOP OF TANK ONCE FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURIZED. HIRED ROLLBACK TO TAKE TO MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THAT CROSSOVER LINE WAS BAD. MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I AM SECOND OWNER OF CAR, WHICH ONLY HAS 2150 MILES ON IT, SO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS EXPENSE!

STRONG SMELL OF GAS WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE,ALWAYS USED CARPORT UNTIL NOW SO I NEVER NOTICED. BUT NOW HAVE A GARAGE, BUT I AM AFRAID OF STRONG FUEL SMELL MAY BE DANGEROUS. HAS NEW GAS CAP AND NO GAS LEAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WARNING CHIME FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT, SERPENTINE BELT AND TENSIONER BELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I HAD A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN MY GARAGE AND A SMALL PUDDLE OF FUEL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. I HAD GOTTEN A RECALL NOTICE FROM GM SOME TIME AGO, TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AT THE TIME AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNLESS THERE WAS A LEAK. NOW, I HAVE THE LEAK, BUT GM REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE SOME TIME PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. THIS LEAK HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY ANOTHER SHOP, BUT I AM OUT OVER $2,000 FOR A PROBLEM GM KNEW COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO BURN UP. I SEEK FOR GM TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS REPAIR OF A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE.

LEAVING SERVICE STATION AFTER FILLING CAR WITH FUEL GAS FUMES WERE FILLING THE CAR. PARKED IT IN GARAGE AND NEXT MORNING GARAGE STUNK OF GAS FUMES. BACKED CAR OUT OF GARAGE AND SAW NO FUEL LEAKING BUT FUMES STILL VERY BAD IN CAR. CALLED LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS. HUSBAND TOOK CAR TO AUTO SHOP AND PUT ON HOIST, WHERE A WET SPOT WAS FOUND. MECHANIC SAID THE CONNECTOR TUBE BETWEEN THE TWO GAS TANKS WAS WET FROM THE GASOLINE. NO WAY TO TAKE A PHOTO BECAUSE THE AREA TO LOOK UP AND SEE THE CONNECTOR IS SO SMALL.

FUEL TANK LEAK AFTER FILLING TANK. SENDS CEL CODE FOR EVAP SYSTEM. FUEL LEAKS FROM TANK ONTO EXHAUST PIPE. DEALER WILL NOT FIX. I NEVER RECEIVED A "RECALL" NOTICE OR BULLETIN.

FUEL LEAK FROM FUEL LINES OR FUEL TANK. DEALER CHEVROLET WON'T COVER THE CHARGES,THAT IT EXPIRED IN 2014. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LAST JULY.PREVIOUS PAST AWAY AND DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

LARGE FUEL LEAK COMING FROM DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE AREA. LEAK SEEMS TO COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL CELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND A "SERVICE STEERING COLUMN" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE CONTACT ALSO OBSERVED A SECOND MESSAGE THAT READ "TAKE THE KEY OUT FOR 10 SECOND AND REINSERT". AFTER FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V06000 (STEERING), ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,100.

FUEL LEAK FROM PASSENGER SIDE TANK. IF TANKS SHOW ANYMORE THAN 1/2 FULL I GET DRIPPING OF FUEL ON THE PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING.. STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS IS A SEVERE FIRE HAZARD. THE CHEVROLET DEALER EXPLAINS THAT THIS COMPLAINT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THAT HAS EXPIRED. GM SHOULD HAVE A SOCIAL OBLIGATION TO FIX A FAULTY DESIGN THAT IS CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD LIKE THIS. *TR
