SINCE BUYING THIS CAR AT AUCTION. I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL COMING FROM LEFT REAR WHEELS. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR SPECIALS ANNOUNCEMENTS DEALING WITH CAR AND WAS TOLD NO. AFTER READING THE CORVETTE FORUM AND FINDING THERE WAS A REPAIR FOR THE FUEL TANK. NOW MY CAR IS OUT OF THE COVERAGE TIME FRAME AND MILEAGE HOWEVER WITH THE TANK BEING DEFECTIVE SHOULDN'T THEY AT LEAST COVER THE TANK. OR WHAT WAS THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN NHTSA AND CHEVROLET. *TR

I FILLED MY TANK TODAY WITH NO OVER FLOW OF GAS. I GOT IN MY VEHICLE AND STARTED THE CAR. I NOW HAVE A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. IT IS ALL THROUGHOUT THE CABIN AND MAKE GAS APPEARS TO BE RUNNING OUT FASTER THAN NORMAL. I PARK IN A GARAGE WHICH HAS A GAS WATER HEATER IN IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE HOUSE COULD CATCH ON FIRE IF THE LEAK GETS STRONGER. *TR

LEAKING GAS. MECHANIC SAYS GAS TANK IS LEAKING NEEDS REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR YET THERE IS NO RECALL? *TR

NOTICED GAS LEAKING ON GROUND AFTER REFUELING THE CAR....I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR MUCH AND SINCE THEN THERE IS ALWAYS A STRONG SMELL OF GAS. THE CAR NOW HAS 39850 MILES ON IT AND THE SMELL IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

WHEN I WAS FILLING UP MY CAR AT A GAS STATION I NOTICED A RATHER STRONG SMELL OF GAS. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE THAT IT WAS LEAKING FUEL. I FINISHED THE CAR TRIP AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I AM EXPERIENCING STRONG ODORS OF GASOLINE, FAINT AT FIRST, BUT NOW VERY EVIDENT AROUND THE VEHICLE AND IN THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT. I AM QUITE CONCERNED TO PLACE THE CAR IN THE GARAGE, OR EVEN DRIVE IT. CHECKING ON LINE, I FOUND A DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION, BUT NOTHING ON A RECALL. THE COMPLAINT WAS PREVALENTLY POSTED ON FORUMS WITH THE MOST COMMON SOURCE AS THE GAS TANK AND/OR CROSSOVER PIPE. DEALERS SEEM TO BE USING THE OPPORTUNITY OF FEAR OF A FIRE FOR OVERCHARGING (~$2500) FOR A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL. WOULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE WITH MY OPTIONS. *TR

FUEL LEAK. I IDENTIFIED THE LEAK SOURCE AS CRACKS IN EITHER THE FUEL TANK CROSS-OVER TUBE QUICK CONNECTOR (CONNECTOR) AND/OR THE "HOT-PLATE" WELD JOINT OF THE CONNECTOR TO THE TANK. THE ROOT CAUSES ARE ATTRIBUTED TO ERRORS IN CONNECTOR MATERIAL PROCESSING, VARIATIONS IN THE WELDING PROCESS, AND HIGH STRESSES PLACED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONNECTOR DURING VEHICLE USE. *TR

STRONG GAS FUME'S WHEN TANK IS HALF FULL. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE GAS TANK HAS A LEAK NITA'S HAS OPEN INVESTIGATION ON THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

VEHICLE CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING @ APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH. DASH INDICATOR READ "CHECK GAUGES". I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP FUSE HAD FAILED. TRIED ANOTHER FUSE, BUT IT BLEW IMMEDIATELY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WHO HAS DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS BOTH FUEL PUMPS HAVE SHORTS CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO BLOW. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT AFTER A DAY OF SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE FUEL PUMP FUSE WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE THEN STARTED ENABLING THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. CHEVROLET ZONE REP WAS CONTACTED, BUT REFUSED TO HELP. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMPS AS THE REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMPS FROM CHEVROLET HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT VEHICLE HAS ONLY 18,316 MILES. *KB

I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN TOLD BY REPRESENTATIVES OF YOUNG CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN DALLAS, TEXAS THAT I HAVE A GASOLINE FUEL LEAK AT THE CONNECTOR OF THE TWO GAS TANKS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A "LIFE-SAFETY" ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS (GM) IMMEDIATELY. I LOVE MY 2004 CORVETTE AND PLAN ON CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT DAILY UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY "FIXED" AT NO COST TO ME, OR I DIE DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT WAS AN UNSAFE CONDITION CAUSED BY GM AND NOT ADDRESSED WITHIN A TOTAL RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE ASSEMBLY. I WILL GLADLY JOIN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS UN-SAFE CONDITION CREATED BY GM.

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE I SMELLED A STRONG FUEL ODOR.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL TANK PIPE CONNECTORS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FUEL TANK CONNECTORS COULD NOT BE REPLACED; THEREFORE, THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,400 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,400. THE CHEVROLET DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: NEEDS LEFT SIDE FUEL TANK AND SENDING UNIT $3,887.50, REAR BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS $517.50, FRONT BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS $482.50, BRAKE FLUSH $165.00, INDUCTION AND INJECTOR SERVICES $350.00.

STRONG GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE AFTER FILLUP AND WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE THAT STARTED AROUND 05/15/2010. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND THAT DID NOT HELP. I HAD MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND SAID IT SEEMS TO BE A CRACKED FUEL TANK OR CROSSOVER PIPE LEAK . DRIVE-TRAIN MUST BE DROP TO VERIFY AND COST TO REPAIR UPWARDS AROUND $2K-$3K . AFTER A INTERNET SEARCH THIS IS A KNOW COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR CORVETTE. THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL! *TR

SMELL OF GAS NOTICEABLE WHEN CAR JUST SITTING IN GARAGE. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. VEHICLE BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AND FOUND TO HAVE RIGHT FUEL TANK LEAK. (OF IMPORTANCE WAS THE FACT WE HAD THE LEFT GAS TANK REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE THIS EVENT AT WHICH TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FREAK OCCURRENCE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN)

NOW GAS HAS BEEN DETECTED LEAKING FROM UNDER DRIVER SIDE SEAT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET IT IS CLEAR THIS IS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE AND OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED ONE YEAR AGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS TO HAVE THE DEALER ADDRESS THE ISSUE. MOST INFORMATION I HAVE SEEN PLACE THE REPAIR AT AROUND $2,000.00. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CORVETTE AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MANY REPORTS OF A MFG. DEFECT IN THE FUEL TANK CROSSOVER QUICK CONNECT, CAUSING A FUEL LEAK AND POTENTIAL FIRE, LOSS OF LIFE. "THE CROSSOVER QUICK CONNECT IS AN INJECTION MOLDED COMPONENT MOLDED AT VIKING PLASTICS USING A MATERIAL PROVIDED BY POLYONE CORP. DURING THE COMPOUNDING PROCESS AT POLYONE CORP.

AFTER HAVING A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM, THEY DISCOVERED IS WAS A DEFECTIVE TANK CONNECTOR (CROSSOVER PIPE) THAT CRACKS UNDER STRESS.

IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IN 2003 TO 2004, GM HAD THESE CROSSOVER PIPES CHANGED FROM A RUBBER TO A STEEL MATERIAL BECAUSE OF GAS AND HIGHWAY EMISSIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE STATEMENT TO...
