Driving a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette at 65 mph and engine shut down,luckily able to coast to side of highway without an accident. I had car towed to local Chevrolet dealer-where vehicle was purchased 19 months prior) dealer stated that fuel pump inoperative and required replacement. . The two fuel pumps( regular fuel pump and siphon fuel pump) located in fuel tanks ,were replaced and all tanks and muffler were re-installed. The fuel pumps were not operating ,so the fuel tanks were removed again, and a relay was found to be defective,fingers on relay were curled up and not allowing fuel pumps to run. The cost of replacing fuel pumps was charged to me at $2700,however the cost of replacing the relay and all parts removed to replace relay, was charged to Chevrolet for a defective relay. The vehicle was picked up from dealer by me on 9/18/2014;then returned 9/19/2014 as gas vapors were detected by me inside vehicle and in my garage. Dealer currently has vehicle-9/21/2014. . . Updated 10/22/bf updated 4/7/2015.
Driving 65 mph on interstate 90 wisconsin. Car just died,could not get to restart. 1 hour on the side the road. Cars flying inches from us. Police officer finally stoped and called tow truck and stayed behind us with lights on so we wouldnt get hit. To find out this is a common problem on low milage Corvettes. Should be a recall because the chevy dealer in middelton wis didnt know what was wrong, it keeps on blowing the fuel pump fuse. They think,but not sure its the fuel pump. 2500. 00 to fix. Corvette forum states this is a common problem. This is a safety issue I woulld think.
