Carrier/rack problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette

After filling up my car with fuel, I parked it in the garage when I got home. The next day, my wife woke me up and told me that the garage was full of fuel vapors. Suspecting that it was coming from the Corvette, I looked around the vehicle but did not see any gas liquid on the garage floor. However because the smell was so strong, I took the car out of the garage and parked it in the driveway. The next day I checked and there was still strong gas smell around the vehicle. At that point I decided to take the car to the Chevrolet dealership to have them evaluate the problem. After leaving the car with them, they contacted me the next day and told me that the smell of gas was coming from a crack in the fuel tank. They also told me that the car was not safe to drive because the fuel tank is located in the rear of the vehicle above the exhaust pipes. I told the dealership to replace the fuel tank and any other item in the rear of the vehicle that needed repair. The fuel tank was replace at a cost of $3056. 97. I also had them to replace the fuel pump since they had the tank removed and had access to the fuel pump. Fortunately I was able to use my 10% military discount or the cost would have been higher. After the car was repaired, I researched this issue on the internet and saw where other 2008 Corvette owners had this very same problem with their car. It is evident that there is a defect in these fuel tanks and Chevrolet should officially do a recall on the 2008 Corvettes and any other year model that has the potential to develop cracks in the fuel tanks. If there is no recall, someone could seriously be injured by the fuel tank problem. I hope by documenting this problem it will bring some type of positive resolution from Chevrolet/gm.
