When C7 Stingray Corvette in the garage with the door closed, there is a strong smell of fuel coming from the vehicle, this problem started around July, 2025.... I have owed the vehicle for 3 years never a problem until now.
There is a strong gas smell when my vehicle is parked in the home garage. The smell is very strong on the rear tire area on the driver's side of the vehicle. I contacted Gunn Chevrolet and will drop the car off 8 September 2023. There are no warning lights for this issue on the vehicle. There are several bulletins on gas leaks on C7 corvettes. Here is one bulletin: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6
I HAVE A 2015 CORVETTE STINGRAY WITH 35K MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES ALREADY ONCE AT 11K MILES AND SECOND TIME AT 22K MILES WHERE THE CAR SHOULD SHUDDER WHILE CRUISING AT LOW SPEEDS. ALSO IN THE MORNING DURING A COLD START WHEN I WOULD SHIFT THE CAR FROM PARK INTO REVERSE THEN THE CAR WOULD DO A HARD SHIFT. TWICE THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND REBUILT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SINCE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. BUT MY CAR'S EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED ON 03/01/20, IN 06/01/20 THE ISSUE CAME BACK. NOW GM IS REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THE VEHICLE. WHEN REFUELING, TANK FILLER PIPE ACCEPTS FUEL ONLY VERY SLOWLY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATION PUMPS WERE TRIED, ALL KEPT CLICKING OFF EVERY 3 SECONDS (AS IF TANK WAS FULL). TANK WAS EMPTY TO TAKE IN SEVERAL MORE GALLONS OF FUEL.
WHEN REFUELING, TANK FILLER PIPE ACCEPTS FUEL ONLY VERY SLOWLY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATION PUMPS WERE TRIED, ALL KEPT CLICKING OFF EVERY 3 SECONDS (AS IF TANK WAS FULL). TANK EVENTUALLY TOOK AN ADDITIONAL 7 OR 8 GALLONS, BUT IT TOOK 8 OR 10 MINUTES TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.
A STRONG FUEL ODOR IS COMING FROM THE FUEL FILLER PIPE. THE FUEL ODOR FILLS THE GARAGE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THERE OVERNIGHT, AND COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THE AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS TRIED TO FIX IT TWICE, BUT HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME? HOW I GOT TO THE SHOULDER WAS A MIRACLE!! THEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING? THE ROAD WARRIOR CAME AND GAVE ME SOME GAS. I TOOK IT MY DEALER RIGHT AWAY. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER. AFTER A FEW DAYS I CALLED FOR AN UPDATE? THE SERVICE DEPTARTMENT TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL SENDER UNIT THAT WENT BAD. AND THAT PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER?? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT? SO I CALL GM'S CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND SPEAK TO A GLORIA. SHE INFORMS ME THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE AN ETA ON IT?? I TOLD HER I THOUGHT THAT CAR COMPANIES ARE SUPPOSE TO KEEP PARTS FOR NEW MODEL CAR FOR AT LEAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD? SHE AGREED!! IMAGINE? SO I ASK THEN WHY IS MY PART? SHE COULDN'T ANSWER? I BOUGHT MY CAR IN MARCH, 2015 AND HAVE 7180 MILES ON HER. AND IS OBVIOUSLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY! I BRING IT BACK TO MY DEALER AND TELL HIM I WANT A NEW CAR BECAUSE BY THIS TIME IT'S BEEN 30 DAYS WAITING FOR PART. I AM DRIVING WITH THE TRIP MONITOR, TO TRY GAUGE GAS USAGE?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL BUT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LOW OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,168.
AT ANY SPEED THE CAR JERKS LIKE ONE OR MORE SPARK PLUG WIRES ARE NOT FIRING(PULLED OFF) IN ALL MODES, IT IS WORSE IN (E ECONOMY MODE) PUSH THE GAS DOWN IT GETS WORSE IN ALL MODES. I REPLACED THE PLUGS AND WIRES I STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM, I WAS HOPING IT WAS A BAD PLUG OR WIRE, THAT HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I PULLED THE FUSE FOR THE EXHAUST VALVES TO KEEP THEM OPEN THEY CHECKED THEN TESTED THE CAR AND TOLD ME IT WAS FINE NO OTHER CODES WERE FOUND. I HAVE 1800 MILES ON THE CAR NOW I TRIED EVERY 93 OCTANE FUEL AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA AND OTHER AREAS, HOPING IT WAS JUST BAD FUEL THAT MANY STATIONS CAN'T HAVE BAD FUEL FOR IT TO BE FUEL RELATED. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
