Corvette has had a problem with fuel smell coming from the car after you fill the tank.this issue is very serious. Fuel leaks out the top of the tanks, and will then drip down the back side onto the hot exhaust. If ignored this could result in a fire and possible death. If parked overnight in a garage, the vapor will fill the garage and could easily be triggered into an explosion and fire from a gas water heater or other ignition source. I can't park my C6 in my garage without it filling the entire garage with fumes so strong that I can't even keep my dogs in there. The vapors then seep into the house. The car is unsafe to drive, and unsafe to leave parked.

Began to notice a strong odor of fuel emitting from the garage. This would occur every time I filled up my vehicle and parked in the garage. Since my water heater is located in the garage and for the safety of my family, vehicle was moved outdoors. Received notice from GM that they were aware of issue and that repairs would be covered. Drove vehicle to local dealership, where I was told that the notice had expired. Wound up paying $2600 in repair cost.

Strong gas odor coming from rear drivers side near gas tank but no leaks anywhere to be found under the car. Fumes up the entire garage and in parts of the house. Seems very hazardous if ever there was a spark of some kind ever occurred! I really only notice this occurance when parked and slightly when driving with windows up.

My Corvette emits a very strong fuel smell both while driving and while stationary. It is most noticeable when the car is parked in the garage and shortly after driving. The issue is ongoing and occurs most frequently when the tanks are full or near full. The fumes are so strong in my garage that I get light headed and nauseous. I took the car to a dealer mechanic to have it looked at. Issue was identified as a leak in the left fuel tank. From the invoice I received "found fuel leak at left tank. Remove drive line and remove left tank. Found fuel module leaking. Replace module and tank hoses with drive line removed. Remove right tank and replace sending unit and all plastic hoses. Also necessary to replace left tank harness due to fuel contamination." This repair cost $3,300. The dealership would not discount any money off of the repair even though they acknowledged that the car was not driveable in its current state and would be a safety issue to operate or store. The mechanic told me that he sees many 2007 Corvettes in for this same issue. This is not an isolated case. I have seen many complaints logged about this issue. It seems like a recall needs to be done to solve this.

My fuel gauge does not work and hasn't for quite some time. I purchased the car brand new. It is several years old now, but it only has 10,000 miles. This problem presented much sooner than this mileage. I am told it is the re-sending units in the gas tanks. Ironic part and frustrating point is that I had another Corvette, the model before this one -C5. It had the same exact problem! I'm positive that other owners are affected. I cannot get the warranty to cover the repair as it expired due to the age of the vehicle. I'm worried about these defective sensors causing a fuel fire or other serious problems. Regardless, the sensors are a defective design.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette. While driving various speeds, a strong odor of fuel was detected inside the vehicle and the check engine indicator illuminated. Even when there was fuel in the vehicle, the fuel gauge indicator showed that the vehicle was empty. In addition, the fuel indicator was illuminated. The contact stated that the failures occurred periodically. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 126,000.

I'm smelling fuel whenever I fill my vehicle. I never over fill it. When the pump stops I stop and don't try to force more gas in it. When parked over night my entire garage smells like fuel. So to keep from having a disaster I park my vehicle outside in the driveway.

  • 93,000 miles
Filled my car with fuel and parked in my garage and about an hour later I went back out to my garage and the whole garage smelled like fuel. I was afraid the garage would catch fire as my water heater is in there so I pulled my car out and searched for a leak. I could not find one and the next day I took the car to my dealer. They found leaks in both tanks and I spent $2000 repairing the car. I was told they knew about the problem but that my extended warranty coverage they put on this issue expired just weeks prior. I was never informed of this problem as I am the second owner. This should never have been a special extended warranty due to the hazardous nature of this system. This should have been fixed at no expense to me. Wanted to tell you that this happened on 12-24-17 but your form will not allow me to put in that date.
