Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette

Fuel smell after filling up gas tank. Apparently the gas pump on drivers side made of plastic has tendency to crack. Gm had previously paid for this repair but limited coverage to 10 yrs and/or 120 thousand miles. Bought new to me 2009 vette with 132k miles, delaer now wanting to charge $3300 for parts/labor. Cannot park in garage due to gas fumes, also dangerous to drive.

I bought this car last year on September, the car for just 3500 miles, on November that year I put my car in storage, I picked my car up this year on March. Two months ago, I realized that after fueling my car a really strong smell like gas was present, I checked underneath both I couldn't see any leakage, but I checked the driver's side gas tank and it was kind of wet, I saw traces of gas droplets. I found online that GMC posted a bulletin to get fixed this issue on lots of c6 Corvettes, I took that bulletin to the dealer and they said that the time for that bulletin expired last year on June, I explained to them that I got the car on September and also my car just had 3500 miles, but the said that if I want my car to get fixed I have to pay. I told me that it's not fair because this issue is GMC fault. This is why I'm filling this complain with you. I was able just to upload one pic but I have more, showing the gas tank wet.

After filling the gas tank there is a strong gas smell present. Once the gas level is below half tank, the odor is gone. Online research points to the crossover tube, fuel pump, evap system etc.

Fuel smell after fully filling the gas tank. Know issue under special coverage bulletin 15682 by gm.

Gas smell in and around car. Usually after filling the gas tank.

Significant gasoline fumes in garage after filling the gas tank and storing the car overnight. Gasoline smell obvious when driving with the targa top is on. Worse smell when the top is off. Fumes are mostly gone after the gas tank level drops below half.

After filling my car up with gas and parked it overnight in the garage, the next morning my entire garage smelled like gas. I didn't think anything of it but the smell was inside and outside of my car as I drove and/or parked it anywhere. I left it outside of my garage until I didnt notice the smell anymore at which point I parked it inside the garage. I noticed that the issue only starts when there is more than half a tank of gas. Once the fuel gauge drops to under half a tank, the smell goes away. I took it to two separate dealerships that did smoke tests and visual checks and they do not see any issues, even though the smell is there with more than half a tank (in both occasions the tanks were more than half and the dealer noticed the smell but did not see any issues and attributed it to my vehicle running rich, even after I told them the smell went away when the fuel gauge was under half a tank). It is apparent to me that there is an issue, a dangerous one at that since gas fumes are highly flammable and the hot exhaust pipes run in between the tanks themselves. After further research, it appears that there is a plastic piece on the top of the fuel pump that seems to be the issue and ends up having small cracks. There are multiple Corvette owners that have reported the same issue and have had to replace the part at their expense (an expensive proposition at that). Please investigate this issue as soon as you can. I am concerned there may be a major fault which will/can cause an injury due to the nature of the problem (gas fumes and hot exhaust pipes).

Strong gas smell after filling up gas tank. Can be smelled in car and overwhelms garage if tank is over half full.

My fuel gauge would not record any fuel level after filling the tank and driving for approximately one quarter of the tank of fuel. The gauge would drop to "empty". This triggered the check engine light, and an error code, resulting in not being able to pass my car inspected in az, where it is registered. I was charged $2300. 00 by the dealer to fix this problem in order to be able to use my car. This presents a problem of possibly running out of gas while in the passing lane of a highway. Fortunately this did not happen to me.
