2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

The car has a strong smell of gasoline in the cabin and garage when the tank is about 1/2 full. I wonder if this is a hazard?

If I put more than 5 or 6 gallons of gas in the car there is a strong odor of gas in the car and around it. If I put the car in the garage it smells like gas through the whole house.

SO RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2008 CORVETTE C6 FROM RICK HENDRICKS CHEVROLET, AND HAVE BEEN SMELLING THE GAS SMELL SINCE I GOT IT, I CAN SMELL IT OUTSIDE THE CAR, IN THE COCKPIT ALL THE TIME IF IT'S OVER HALF A TANK, I LOOK UNDER THE CAR AND THERE'S GAS ALL UNDER IT. SEEMS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK, MY FUEL MILEAGE ISN'T THAT GREAT BECAUSE OF IT. SMELL IS CONSTANT, UNTIL IT'S BELOW HALF A TANK.

MY CAR HAD A HEAVY GAS SMELL. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANICS AT BRIGGS FIRESTONE IN OROVILLE,CA AND AFTER THEY DIAGNOSIS THEY INFORMED ME ABOUT A SPECIAL COVERAGE NOTIFICATION FROM CHEVROLET #15682-03 ( PRIMARY TANK FLANGE FUEL AND VAPOR LEAK). I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2018, BUT WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL ISSUED. I'VE CALLED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD I'D HEAR FROM A SUPERVISOR AT 2PM ON MONDAY 4/12/2021. I JUST CALLED AGAIN, AND AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT A MGR WOULD CALL ME BACK TOMORROW. I'VE WAITED 50 YRS TO BUY MY DREAM CAR, AND BEING A VIET NAM VET, I'M DEFINITELY TIRED OF GETTING THE RUN AROUND. IF A GAS TANK LEAK IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD , WHAT IS? BRIGGS PHONE # IS 530-533-9372 IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO THEM.

AFTER FILLING MY C6 CORVETTE AND DRIVING IT, I'M SMELLING FUEL ONCE I PARK THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY I CAN STILL SMELL IT.

HAVE FUEL LEAKING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE TANK, NOT ALWAYS JUST WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK. WHEN I WALK INTO THE GARAGE THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AND WHEN I TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE CAR THERE IS A STAIN UNDER THE LEFT SIDE FUEL TANK. I LIFTED THE BACK END OFF THE CAR ON JACK STANDS AND I COULD SEE DROPS OF FUEL COMING FROM THE COVER. WHEN I TOOK THE COVER OFF FOR A CLOSER LOOK THE COVER WAS SOAKED IN GASOLINE. IVE HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW YEARS NOW BUT I DONT DRIVE IT MUCH.I BELIEVE IT WAS LIKE THIS WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER AS WELL.

FILLED GAS TANK,EXTREME SMELL OF GAS LINGERING WHEN PARKED .I HEARD ON THE FORUM THAT THIS IS PROBABLY A LEAKING GAS TANK AND VERY DANGEROUS

THERE IS A GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE AND CAN BE SMELLED FROM INSIDE THE CABIN AS WELL. THE CAR CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY FUELED, THERE'S AN EXTREMELY STRONG GAS SMELL AND FUEL LEAKS UNDER THE LEFT FUEL TANK. THIS HAPPENS UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL IS BELOW HALF TANK.

PURCHASED MY 2008 CORVETTE NEW AND AFTER 50K MILES THE THE CAB FILLED WITH RAW GAS FUMES, THE DRIVERS SIDE FUEL TANK LEAK FROM THE TOP. THE TANK AND PUMP WERE REPLACED. 8,000 MILE LATER THE SENDING UNITS WENT OUT. TANKS WERE DROPPED AND SENDING UNITS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. LESS THAN 30,000 MILES LATER SAME TANK LEAK. NOW GM DOESN'T HAVE REPLACEMENT TANKS AND THE MANUFACTURE IS SAYING MAYBE IN 4 MONTHS. MY VET HAS ALREADY BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 3 MONTHS. RIDICULOUS! MANUFACTURE DEFECT FOR SURE ON A ITEM THAR SHOULD LAST FOREVER. VERY DANGEROUS.
