The car has a strong gas smell that has a know problem that happens when tank is over half full. Gm issued a special coverage adjustment 15682 primary tank module flange fuel and vapor leak in July 2016. But many of us as second owners did not receive the letter to take car back while still under warranty, the car has smell is so strong cannot park the car in garage and can smell when it outside. I would believe there could be a risk of fire if car was in a small enclosed space and a source of ignition was present. This should have been a full recall based on a gas vapor leak not just a service adjustment. I have tried to work with gm on this but they claim its to late even though they issued a 3rd revision of the adjustment in July 2017. To me for a known fuel vapor leak problem there should be no expiration like a recall.

Just noticed the smell of gasoline after fill up in my garage. Checked the Corvette fourm and this is a known issue in this vehicle and gm has been fixing the issue if the car is under 10 years old as a warranty sadly my car is now over 10 years old and only has 75,000 miles on it. I really think this should be a recall issue. I did schedule a service check to test the system and was quoted 900. 00 to do a smoke test on the fuel system. It looks like gm has changed the plastic part that is cracking with a better plastic several time. I'm really worried about the car burning my home down and I'm keeping the fuel at half a tank.

I bought a 2004 Corvette used with 67k miles on it. The dealership had only filled the tank to less than half full. ,after my first fill up gas poured out from underneath, behind drivers side tire. I paid $ 16,500 for the car , so I took it back to dealer and they said they would repair. After about 10 days I went to dealer and noticed the car had not even moved. He said they did not know how to fix it and they had another dealership in another state that they would need to take it to. I left with the car unrepaired. Is there anything I can do ? I believe it is a recall on the crossover tube and the recall has expired. Close to a $1500 to $1800 repair.

My Corvette emits a very strong fuel smell both while driving and while stationary. It is most noticeable when the car is parked in the garage and shortly after driving. The issue is ongoing and occurs most frequently when the tanks are full or near full. The fumes are so strong in my garage that I get light headed and nauseous. I took the car to a dealer mechanic to have it looked at. Issue was identified as a leak in the left fuel tank. From the invoice I received "found fuel leak at left tank. Remove drive line and remove left tank. Found fuel module leaking. Replace module and tank hoses with drive line removed. Remove right tank and replace sending unit and all plastic hoses. Also necessary to replace left tank harness due to fuel contamination. " this repair cost $3,300. The dealership would not discount any money off of the repair even though they acknowledged that the car was not driveable in its current state and would be a safety issue to operate or store. The mechanic told me that he sees many 2007 Corvettes in for this same issue. This is not an isolated case. I have seen many complaints logged about this issue. It seems like a recall needs to be done to solve this.

2009 Corvette z06, very strong odor of fuel both in cab and outside of vehicle!!! looked under car on drivers side and was able to see wet/damp areas around fuel tank. What really sucks, is that I cant even park it in my garage. The fumes are so strong, I'm afraid something will cause the fumes to ignite and put everyone's lives in danger. I looked on alldatadiy and found a recall/service bulletin however, when I called the dealership, they said based on my VIN# that my car was not affected. . . . Wtf!!!!! how can it not be? my car is doing exactly what the recall/service bulletin says.
