Overwhelming fuel odor after shutting car off and housing it in the garage or outside. Especially noticeable in summer when ethanol is added to fuel - heavy smell of nail polish remover inside and outside the car. Fuel vapor leak from gas tank requires $2400 repair.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2017

The car smells of fuel continuously in side and out. This started happening within the last 5 weeks without cause. It seems more pronounced on the drivers wheel well. It seems that is a more pronounced problem when the tank is 1/2 full or higher. I can not park the car in the garage as it stinks up the house. I've learned from research that there is a plastic elbow connector that deteriorates over time on top of the tank, cracks and sprays fuel. If this is not a safety recall, it certainly should be.

12 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2015

A strong smell of fuel in the cockpit. While there is no visible puddle of fuel on my garage floor, the fuel odor is very strong and I am obliged to keep my garage door open or the fuel smell enters into the house. I took it to the service dept of where I purchased the vehicle (carmax) and was informed today that the leak is on the top of the left fuel tank and that to access it, it would be necessary to remove the transmission. I was also informed that since the job was a "big one" carmax would make arrangements to have my car brought to a Chevrolet dealership. I was also told that my car max service warranty might not cover the repairs done outside their shop. I am bringing this to your attention in hopes that due to the fire danger involved with leaking fuel general motors will issue a safety recall on the problem. The fuel smell is amplified when there is 3/4 of a tank or more. The fuel smell is particularly strong when the vehicle is in the garage. The fuel smell diminishes if the vehicle is parked outside in the open air.
