Consumer Description

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR (TWO WEEKS AGO) AND THE CAR SMELLS UP THE GARAGE OF HEAVY GAS FUMES. WE TRIED REPLACING THE GAS CAP BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. SEEMS TO BE AT ITS STRONGEST AFTER GASSING UP THE CAR. GAS FUMES CAN ALSO BE SMELLED WHEN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS DOWN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT MY GARAGE IS GOING TO BLOW UP SINCE THE WATER HEATER IS JUST A COUPLE OF FEET FROM THE CAR OR THAT THE CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS AND SEEMS MANY CORVETTE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I'M FEELING SO DISCOURAGED FOR BUYING A CORVETTE, OUR DREAM CAR. IS THERE AN RECALLS FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM?
