What owners say
Fuel leaking from the gas tank along with strong odor of gas. I purchased this vehicle in feb 2010 I do see a recall for other corvettes same year, but different VIN#'s. I am concerned there are more vehicles with the same problem that the gm has not looked at . This car was made in the same plant as the others and my car has other recalls that have been taken care that were from that plant bowling green plant code 5. I am certain that those VIN #'s are not the only vehicles with this problem.
Consumer's vehicle having the same problems a mentioned in recall 97v105000 concerning sending unit. Dealership will not repair free of charge because the VIN was not included. *ak there was gas leaking from the top of the tank. There was no evidence of hose failure. *jb
The right tank fuel sending unit and gasket failed and leaked fuel which caused fuel to enter the cabin of the vehicle.
The fuel tank is leaking gasoline. Please provide additional information. Dealer is aware of the problem. Ph
