Consumer Description
THIS CAR HAS 23,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IT HAS DEVELOPED SOME SORT OF FUEL LEAK ONE OF THE TWO FUEL TANKS OR THE CONNECTING TUBE WHILE SITTING PARKED THE GARAGE. GM HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. THEY DID NOT WARN OWNERS OF THESE CARS OF THIS PROBLEM. NOW THAT I HAVE THIS ISSUE I HAVE DISCOVERED THE GM WOULD FIX THIS IF YOU DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM IN TEN YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, THE CAR COULD EXPLODE IF A PERSON WALKS BY IT IN A PARKING LOT, IN AN ACCIDENT OR PARKED IN A PARKING STRUCTURE. THIS CAR IS NOW A TICKING BOMB DUE TO THE FAILURE OF GM TO NOTIFY OWNERS OR THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM. ALL CORVETTES ARE NOT DAILY DRIVERS THAT IS WHY THE MILEAGE IS LOW. THERE ARE MANY CARS OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT GM SHOULD HAVE TO NOTIFY ALL OWNERS OF THIS VINTAGE OF CAR OF THIS ISSUE AND FIX THEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED. NOT ONLY THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE AT RISK, SO IS THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
