Consumer Description
2009 CORVETTE Z06, VERY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL BOTH IN CAB AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE!!! LOOKED UNDER CAR ON DRIVERS SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO SEE WET/DAMP AREAS AROUND FUEL TANK. WHAT REALLY SUCKS, IS THAT I CANT EVEN PARK IT IN MY GARAGE. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG, I'M AFRAID SOMETHING WILL CAUSE THE FUMES TO IGNITE AND PUT EVERYONE'S LIVES IN DANGER. I LOOKED ON ALLDATADIY AND FOUND A RECALL/SERVICE BULLETIN HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID BASED ON MY VIN# THAT MY CAR WAS NOT AFFECTED....WTF!!!!! HOW CAN IT NOT BE? MY CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL/SERVICE BULLETIN SAYS.
