My Corvette c6 model has had a longterm issue with the left fuel pump, which I was not made aware of by the local dealership servicing my vehicle or the manufacturer, General Motors. I recently discovered the fuel pump issue, which results in a significant fuel leak thru the bottom left side of the vehicle. GM and the dealership failed to notify me of this issue even though they issued a Special Bulletin that addresses the fuel pump issue and which advises dealerships to repair the vehicle at no cost to the owner - me. I have complained to General Motors and I'm currently awaiting their response to my complaint and request for assistance with the repairs. As of 9:00 am Pacific Time, December 9, 2024, I've received no response from GM. My concern and reason for this report is GM's failure and the dealership's failure to notify me, and failure to issue a recall for this significant and dangerous problem with my vehicle.

The Primary tank module flange fuel and vapor leak. Yes, it's available for inspection upon request. It's sitting at Auto Nation Chevrolet 3215 South Auto Way Gilbert since November 28, 2022. They said they're waiting for the cross over fuel line part # 10337583. Fuel leaks where the fuel pump goes into the left gas tank and can cause an explosion.

When I phone GM they tell me my case has been transferred to another department. The latest is James at 1 866 790 5600 ext 591-0336.
My car with only 17,000 is generating a very strong gas smell, which completely fills my garage. I've read old notices that preferred to this problem and saw there was many reports in the past from your organization about this problem, that now have all been pulled. As any Corvette forms on line reflects, as it is a continuous problem. I now am keeping mine outside, because of the strong odor. There isn't a gas leak per a Chevrolet dealer and I can't afford the $1,000 in additional labor, their estimate to attempt to figure out. Please assist us (the thousands of other owners effecting 2007 -in 2013).

I have just recently purchased this 2013 Corvette grand sport. I'm come out into my garage this morning March 12th 2022 and there is a trail of fuel leaking from the rear driver's side of the car. Doing a quick online search I have found that this is a common problem on these cars . There is there is a plastic fitting on top of the fuel pump or the fuel tank itself is commonly known to develop a crack. This is an exceptionally dangerous situation as the fuel tank is very close to the hot exhaust when driving. Please advise as to any recourse I may have with GM or any Chevrolet dealership . This is a 2013 corvette with only 46000 miles.
car only has 31,000 miles on it and it's leaking gas from the top of the gas tank. will need fuel pump replaced. not a safe thing to have cheap parks, spilling gas over the exhaust pipes. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ME! anti lock brake system is also giving issues for a couple years now, noted by previous owner. This car only has 31,000 miles!
Car smells like there is a gas leak. Car parked in garage. Dealer states no recalls!
Gas leaking from left side of car
Strong gas smell when vehicle is parked after returning from driving. Seems to be coming from the gas tank area. No evidence of any gas leaking, just a strong smell. Can't park the corvette in the garage for fear the gas fumes may ignite. Have an appointment with the dealer set for 7/9/18.
Strong fuel smell coming from left side of car. Fuel leaks from fitting at top of fuel pump assembly in left side tank. Many of us corvette forum owners have had this happen. There's even a you-tube video showing where the "crack" occurs. Not acceptable to have to repair this after only 3 years of ownership.
