Consumer Description

Gas is leaking/spraying from a defective high pressure fitting on top of left side fuel tank fuel pump. My garage was full of gas fumes and a strong odor was seeping into my home. Car had to be removed from garage for fear of explosion. This is a known and very common problem with C6 Corvette fuel pumps. GM will only fix if less than 10 years old and less than 120,000 miles. Dealer first said my car would be covered and not to worry, but after disassembling and confirming this common issue, they then tell me I'm not covered and must pay out of pocket. My car is in pieces and they are waiting for a back ordered pump. My car has 45000 miles but is more than 10 years old so I must now pay $2,700. to correct a potentially deadly and well documented fuel system defect. Why is there no recall for this extremely hazardous defect?
