Known Fuel Tank crack GM Memo "Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange", whose previous warranty extension has expired and shouldn't be! GM assumes no responsibility for notifying vehicle owners who purchased used vehicles from non-dealers, which is what I did. I never received any notices about this leak from them since 2018, when I bought the vehicle used from a non-GM dealer. I just recently discovered the leak and had it repaired for $ 5,300.00. I had been driving a vehicle that could have exploded for over 7 years and did not know it. There must be others who are still driving these without knowing. Below is my request to GM to reconsider their 'not covered' response to my email. I suggest that a known Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange of the gas tank is a life-threatening issue and should never expire! Especially, since many of us bought these vehicles used, 2018 in my case, and have NEVER received any notifications from dealers or GM about this issue. How many others are still outstanding and could blow someone up? The pictures below were taken at my Watson Chevrolet dealer in Tucson, AZ this month, which shows that the crack is exactly what was outlined in your publication 17469, that I never received. Total bill was $5,330.89 (copy attached). I am asking GM to reimburse me for this horrible adventure, not to mention the danger that I've been in for these many years. While I should have detected this issue sooner, how was I to know? I finally gave a friend a ride who said she smelled a really bad gas odor, which led me to the dealer! Now, GM says "you're too late" for us to cover our known defect? Again, this is a life-threatening issue, and your warranty should never expire!

09/30/2024 The smell is gasoline is emanating from the driver side after I put gas at a local gas station. A short while after I arrived home, the smell of gasoline was still strong. I observed a puddle of gas by the driver side door underneath the gas filler. I have not attempted to start the car until I know it is safe to move to a local dealership or mechanic. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed yesterday when entering my pole barn, a strong fuel odor..upon extensive smelling, I located a fuel leak when I had the car on my lift, the fuel tank on the drivers side has gasoline running down the plastic tank. I have modine heaters in this bldg, so I lowered the car and pushed it outside with help. I bought the car pre owned from berstrom chevy in oshkosh, and they never gave me some letter that I learned was sent to all owners about this problem, just short of a recall. Gm extended the warranty to 6 years for this problem if you get it.. I want to know what is the cause of this, because if they just replace the needed parts, how do I know this will not re occur.. I read many c7 vetts from 2014 - 2017 have this problem. What should I do?

Extremely strong fuel odors that fill my garage and seep into my house. Im standing in the kitchen now next to the garage and can barely finish typing this before having to move to the living room I have taken the vehice to the chevy service department numerous times and they say they can't smell or find anything, so its obvious the problem is intermittent.
