90 degree elbow on top of fuel hat on drivers side fuel tank cracked and had a bad fuel leak causing an immediate fire hazard in my garage with how combustible fuel is. There were no warning signs just walked into my garage one morning with a very strong smell of gasoline. The issue was dealt with by myself I didn't have to take it to a mechanic to repair

Fuel leak(s) involving filler neck, fuel pump, fuel tank or associated parts in the fuel delivery system at rear of car. Gasoline smells is very strong, when the tank is filled (not overfilling the tank) gasoline puddles under the rear near the driver's side rear tire. The fumes are so bad that the car cannot be stored in the garage (which is attached to my home). Smell is pervasive even sitting outside.

I purchased a 2012 Corvette from Coast Chevrolet on 1-24-26. This car was supposed to have been inspected for safety issues prior to being listed for sale. Being that this is a reputable General Motors dealership I assumed all safety issues and recalls would have been up to date. I drove the car home about 90 miles and immediately put it in my garage. After about 30 minutes of it being in there I noticed an overwhelming smell of gasoline. I began looking around the car both in the engine bay, underneath etc. I...

Recently purchase used car. Very strong a gas smell/fumes in garage whenever fuel is pumped more than 1/2 tank. Concerned over fire or explosion hazard.

Smelling gas fumes when parked. There were no other indicators of an issue. I took car to dealership, turns out there is a flaw with the fuel system, causing a leak at the top of the tank. Fuel was leaking through a valve and into the inside of the car frame. This issue should be a recall. The dealer would not let me leave with the vehicle due to the severity of the leak/fumes and fear of combustion! This was addressed as TSB Special Coverage Adjustment 15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor...

Fuel smell coming from gas cap area replaced the gas cap twice. Continue to have strong fuel smells in garage where car is kept. Started about one month ago.

Strong gas smell after filling gas tank. This is a known issue on these cars and although it can develop at any time they only warranty the problem for 10 years. This creates a fire hazard. The attached service bulletin was just released by GM today: Special Coverage Adjustment 15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks Reference Number: N150682 Release Date: July 2016 Condition Some 2007 to 2009 model year Cadillac XLR and 2007 to 2013 model year Chevrolet Corvette vehicles may have a condition...

Purchased my 2012 Corvette Grand Sport used on 06/08/2023 and the first night parked in my garage noticed a seriously strong fuel smell. Have run down to half tank and parked it again and still have the strong smell. Dropped off at my local Chevrolet dealer for inspection. Research shows this is a common issue with this model year. Chevrolet has issued service bulletin15682 for this apparent issue. Mileage is only 66k but the bulletin has a year cap of 10 years from in service date. I am searching for information as to if this has been revised and if my vehicle is still covered.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked inside the garage there was an abnormally strong gasoline odor coming from the vehicle. Upon inspection, there was no fuel leak visible inside the garage. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed of a Manufacturer's Service Campaign that addressed the failed primary fuel tank flange leak, but the Extended Warranty coverage had expired. The failure mileage was 36,000.

We smelled gasoline from time to time since June of 2022 & could not see any leaks. Approximately October 22 2022 we contacted Premier Chevy Buick GMC in Beatrice Nebraska because the smell was really bad. After they inspected our car they said it had a defective fuel pump that had cracked & it was a known common problem with the Corvettes. They advised that General Motors would repair them at no cost because of a 10 year extended coverage. They then called us the next day to tell us that it would not be covered...

The car has a strong smell of gas inside the garage and in the compartment of the vehicle after driving

Airbag light intermittently comes on and goes off whilst driving. Per GM, they will not say whether the airbag will or will NOT deploy while the light is on. There is a TSB for the issue, but it only last 10 years past the in-service date. When safety is affected, there should be no limit on time to have remedied.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette.

The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 15,800.

Get a intermittent red air bag light on the dash when driving. Not sure if air bag system is working properly. Would affect safety if the air bag malfunctions. Not inspected by anyone, car is for sale.

Failure of Active Handling System with onboard computer message to have the system serviced. Other drivers (owner forums) have reported significant safety hazards related to this system failure. Reported issues include system-driven steering and braking actions that lead to mishandling of the car that could put the driver, passengers, other drivers, and property at risk.

Low beam headlights stop working while driving.

The air bag warning light comes on and off at various times. Sometimes it stays on and other times it goes out after a while. If i shut the car off and wait a few then when restarted it goes out Sometimes it stays off other times it comes back on. This appears to be a common problem on this generation Corvette from what I have been reading

I have a very strong gasoline smell coming from, inside and out side my car when it is stationionary. It seems to be worst, when I have more than a half tank of gas. The smell of gas is in my garage and inside my home when parked inside my garage. I made an appointment with the fremont chevrolet dealer and dropped off my car two weeks ago at the dealer. My service adviser edger sat in my car and said to me he noticed a strong gasoline smell in side my car. Edger told me they would have to do a test to make sure...

I have begun to smell fuel coming from the drivers side wheel well. It has filled the garage while parked and I can smell it coming into the car's interior while driving. I only have 24,000 miles on the car.

Service active handling system on display. While driving the day before, the car made a very quick motion to the left while driving at 65mph. Investigation found the steering wheel sensor pushed out of it's housing and dangling on the steering column shaft under the dash. The powered telescoping steering wheel pushed the assembly out of place causing the fault. I disconnected the steering wheel sensor to prevent any further activation of the active handling.

The airbag warning light on the dash comes on for the driver side for no reason while driving the car. My understanding is that when the light is on, the air bag is non-functional. Sometimes, if I adjust the seat forward, backward, up, and down, the light will go off, but no always. I've had the car into the dealer for repair. The repair cost $120 and the problem is not resolved.

Sever gas smell occurs sporadically. When this happens, I can't drive with the top up or place vehicle in my garage. It went to chevy the first occurrence and they did not inspect, but did say there was no problem. It has since had another 4 occurrences of gas smell. It is not overflow because the tak was less than 1/2 full 3 of 4 times this happened.

After filling the gas tank there is a noticeable smell of gas that's exists. When garage kept the smell fills the entire garage with a gas smell. The gas cap is fully secured and there are no noticeable leaks or puddles on the ground.

I was in my garage, I opened the driver door sat down and secured the seat belt. I attempted to start the car by stepping on the brake pedal and pressing the start button but the engine did not turn over. I made a second and third attempt to start the engine to no avail. Then, I attempted to exit the car but the door would not open. Having not opened the windows, I was lost as how to get out of my car. I made one more attempt to start the engine but could not. In fact my instruments were dead. As I was...
