Consumer Description

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND WHEN GETTING BACK INTO THE CAR I NOTICED A STRONG GAS ODOR, SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN IN THE RAIN. THE SMELL WAS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN I CAME TO A STOP. I JUST LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE C6 CORVETTE. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING, CONSIDERING MANY OF US PARK OUR CARS IN GARAGES WITH PILOT LIGHTS AND OTHER SOURCES OF SPARK/FLAME. I'LL BE CONTACTING GM.
