NHTSA Complaint #11572203 — 2011 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Same fuel smell issue as what GM kinda covered with Bulletin #[XXX] However that is a 10 year / 120,000 miles limit. I'm under the miles but over on time. Just purchased the vehicle (was told "there are no recalls" because they were allow to all it a "Special Warranty Adjustment". Of course the previous owner didn't get this addressed ... nor WOULD they if the smell started later. So ... still a fire hazard ... even the fix offered is replacing plastic parts with same plastic parts and crossing fingers. Dealers are quoting over 16 hours ALONE for a fix pushing costs to over $3000. And this can reoccur in the future when that plastic also fails. Metal fittings for fuel ... seems like a better choice costing only a few dollars more. Please do something for us chumps that bought the unfixed cars used. At least require dealer to fully inform buyers. "We didn't test for it because we would have to drop the tank with requires removal of exhaust, transmission etc" which is I'm sure more than 1/2 the labor of the fix minus parts. The easy test is fill it near full of gas, drive it, smell it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
