Latest Corvette complaints
I recently refueled my 2014 Corvette and when I put the car in the garage it was leaking fuel causing a concentrated fuel vapor. I have since found that the fuel filler hose connector to the drivers tank had a crack in it. Obviously this is not a safe situation. In determining the situation I found that GM had a replacement program if this problem presents itself within 10 years or 120,000 miles. In my case it did not. Early customers that had this issue and before GM created the repair adjustment the dealers where...

charging $2000.00 with the fuel tank costs. Since then they have decided to Capitalize on this safety hazard by increasing the price of the tanks upwards of $2K and up to $6K for the replacement job. Additionally anyone else you might go to are telling customers they have to find a replacement tank because they cant. One more caveat of this situation is that many of these cars cannot be put outside until a new fuel tank is leveraged. Capitalizing on a safety issue unrcontionable. I went to GM's customer service center and they refused to help. So here I am, [[redacted]] 6 weeks into a leaking Saddle tank and the only help i'm getting is a hyped up service quote of 300% on keeping their customers safe.

The car "shutter's at slow speeds/between 4thru 6 gear.
If I fill my tank all the way, fuel leaks. It doesn't reach the ground but if you look underneath, you can see where the fuel has leaked. Also, the fumes are so bad it cannot be kept in the garage. There was a warranty program (Special Coverage Adjustment #17469) for this but there are a lot of other cars that did not display these symptoms and were not fixed while the warranty period was intact. Now the timeframe has passed (not mileage) and these parts that are known to be faulty and failing. The dealerships are...

trying to also tack on extra work/parts/costs to these repairs by telling customers to replace the fuel tank when in actuality, the problem is the fuel pump module and o-ring. Repairs have been quotes at $3500 which is ridiculous considering GM knew the parts were faulty.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that there was a strong fuel odor coming from vehicle while parked or while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a diagnostic test was performed. The technician removed the fuel tank and discovered that the hose connected to the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The dealer notified the manufacturer about the failure; however, the manufacturer stated that the warranty had expired. The contact was informed by the dealer that the repair would be an out-of-pocket expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the contact with the same information as the dealer. The failure mileage was 42,134
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while the vehicle was on a trailer dynamometer machine, a plastic piece at the bottom of the accelerator pedal fractured. The accelerator pedal slid up and became stuck in the full-throttle position and had to be manually returned to the normal position. The contact stated the engine overheated, and the stop button failed to turn off the vehicle. The ABS and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
The system that was affected was the power steering. As I was driving home doing residential speeds, I noticed a message pop up in my heads up display "Power Steering, Drive with Caution" as I selected okay, the steering wheel became very stiff. Luckily I was 5 minutes away from home and was able to drive carefully back into the garage. This is the first time I've experienced this failure. After parking the car in the garage, I turned the car off and then restarted the vehicle and the steering wheel had the same...
