The contact's daughter owned a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed on a rainy night, there was another unoccupied vehicle stopped side ways in the middle of the highway with no hazards lights activated. The contact stated that the front driver's side of the vehicle crashed into the other vehicle. The contact stated that the driver's side and passenger's side air bags failed to fully deploy as needed. The contact was occupying the rear passenger's side seat and was wearing a seat belt; however, the contact was propelled between the front driver's side and front passenger's side seats, causing the contact's left shoulder to hit the driver's side seat. The contact sustained a right shoulder dislocation, headache, neckache and soreness all over the body. The contact's daughter who was occupying the front driver's side seat hit her face against the steering wheel and sustained bruises and minor cuts on the face. The driver also sustained soreness on the shoulders, knees, feet, back, head and the face. The contact's niece who was occupying the front passenger's side seat hit her forehead against the windshield and the windshield was fractured. The contact 's niece sustained cuts on the forehead and severe neck pain that required her to be out of school for an extended period of time. The ambulance transported all passengers to the emergency room, where medical assistance was provided. The vehicle was towed and totaled. A police report was filed but the contact did not have the information available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure occurred because an object that was hanging on the driver's key holder had caused the ignition switch to turn off. No assistance was provided. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.
After an oil change at a Chevrolet dealer I drove to get gas. After refueling I got in and was preparing to drive away when I noticed the clutch pedal was on the floor and would not pop back up ready to be used. I had the car towed to the Chevrolet dealer where I learned the hydraulic clutch master cylinder had failed. I was lucky this didn’t happen while o was driving the car on the highway. I am not sure how that would have affected the drivability of the vehicle but it could have been very dangerous. I had received a letter from Chevrolet years earlier that described the problem and said if it happened within 10 years or 100,000 miles they would repair it. Mine failed after the 10 years but at only 8,500 miles. This system of not actually recalling the car for repair but instead issuing the owner a “notice”, doesn't seem fair for someone who doesn’t drive their vehicle many miles but is still costly and potentially dangerous when it occurs while the vehicle is being driven.

Purchased 3 weeks ago. Third time filling up and first time in the garage. Noticed the fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. Car only has 55k miles, this should not be an issue. Is Chevy going to fix this or am I out the 2k repair bill?
The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated there was a strong gasoline odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that gasoline was leaking from the fuel tank onto the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 55,000. VIN was not available.
The fuel tank is leaking at the pump due to defective plastic. There should be a lot of reports of this happening on this vehicle and it is more dangerous than any other defect I have ever heard of.
Have a strong odor of gasoline coming from vehicle parked in garage. Have not noticed any gasoline in the garage floor, only the strong odor.
At 85,000 miles the timing chain triggered the check engine light to come on. At 100,037 miles the engine was burning oil. Three mechanics confirmed that the engine needed to be replaced. An estimated cost of $8,000 - $12,000.
After filling up my gas tank in my 2010 Chevrolet Corvette I notice a strong gas smell that permeates through my entire garage and house. Upon investigation from an auto repair shop it has been determined I need to replace a faulty cracked fuel pump. Upon further investigation it seems there was a "Special Coverage Adjustment" from GM for this repair only for up to 120k miles. This should be a recall!!! as it is a very dangerous situation! So because I am over 120k , (just purchased from dealer) I am responsible for the 3k repair? That is 100% not acceptable. 15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks Copyright 2016 General Motors. Reference Number: N150682 Release Date: January 2017 GWM Number: 2015682
