1 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2010

Fuel tank leaks when fueling car. This seems to be a common issue with the Chevrolet Corvette in the years 2000-2004. On all public forums this defect is reported by many Corvette owners. Why isn't the epa or the NHTSA investigating all of the years instead of just the 2004 models? the recall should be expanded. What is the delay? should someone die in a fire first? or should we band together and file a class action suit against all parties, including the NHTSA.

2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2010

1. Each time the fuel tank is filled up there is a strong fuel odor smell. 2. Recently there is fuel leakage on my garage floor directly in front of the right rear tire & fuel on the side and bottom of the fuel tank. 3. Gm said car was out of warranty for this issue.

3 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2010

I have a 2002 Corvette convertible. Each time the fuel tank is filled there is a strong fuel odor smell in the passenger compartment of the car. Even with the top down the smell causes headaches and nausea! all it will require is a single spark to cause death! it is time to force a recall on all 1997 to 2004 c5 Corvettes!.

4 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/13/2009

Fuel tank leak due to a split in non metal tank.
