Fuel pump failure by model year
What owners say
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
Fuel vapors coming from the fuel tank ;possible crack in fuel pump spraying fuel everywhere;I can close my garage door because I can't breathe because of the gas odor.it's worse when I put ten gallons or more
Gas smell after fill up of tank appears to be the high pressure line from the top of the fuel pump
Fuel pumps on left and right side . Cracks in fuel I lines and pumps not working. Replaced both fuel pumps because of gas leakage and gas smell in garage.plus pumps would not equalize fuel so it would't start. Cost $c2666.54 to fix!!
There was/is a strong fuel smell emitting from the rear left side of the car. It is very noticeable when the car is running and then parked in an enclosed area or if standing near it especially on that side. After some light inspection it seems the fuel pump high pressure line is leaking at the pump exit fitting/junction to the high pressure fuel line. This has only recently come to my attention. I assured I had the fuel cap secured and the tank is only half fuel. I can only conclude this is a faulty design or materials and is a severe safety hazard. The fuel tank or fuel system has not been worked on and shows no sign of damage. The car has just over 85,500 miles and is stored in a closed and secure private garage. Gm has no recall but has updated parts and will gladly sell them to you and have their dealer repair the defective design at the owners full expense. They accept no direct responsibility for this problem and resulting repair costs yet they saw to it to update the replacement parts.
I have a very strong fuel smell coming from the drivers side near the rear wheel. I believe the problem to be a leak from the top of the fuel pump module, maybe it's cracked and spraying fuel on top of my tank. I am afraid the fuel will run down onto the exhaust pipe and catch fire.
I have a 2010 chevy corvette base model with a gas leak it was parked in my garage for a two weeks . I went and put gas and noticed a strong smell of gas. I drove the car for a while and put it back in the garage the gas smell got worse I took it to the shop they said that the fuel pump is leaking wanting to charge me 2000 to fix it.
Strong fuel smell coming from fuel cap area, caused by small fuel pump leak. Fumes could cause a fire.
I have a 2010 corvette grand sport with 46000 miles that has strong gas fumes coming from the drivers side by the gas tank while parked in the garage. Even after sitting for 2 days the gas smell didn't go away. I took the car into chevrolet and they replaced the gas tank and the fuel pump on the drivers side because it was leaking. The repair cost 2900.00. I asked the service rep at chevrolet if the new gas tank design flaw had been fixed and he replied that he didn't know. I also had a 2006 corvette with the same problem so I have to assume it hasn't been fixed. Chevrolet hasn't fixed the problem and I'm afraid it will keep happening and my house or car will catch fire and someone may get hurt. There needs to be a recall and we should get reimbursed.
