MY CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS WHEN ITS ABOVE A HALF TANK. ONCE IT GOES BELOW A HALF TANK THE SMELL IS NOT AS STRONG. I TOOK IT TO LAKESIDE CHEVROLET IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT APPEARS THAT SEAL ON THE FUEL PUMP WAS BROKEN CAUSING GAS TO ESCAPE. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THAT CHEV WOULD FIX IT AT NO COST TO ME THEN THEY CALLED ME 3 DAYS LATER AND TOLD ME WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE MY CARS AGE. WENDELL, IN THE SERVICE DEPT SAID THAT CHEV HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES WHICHEVER CAME 1ST BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES THEY WERE HAVING WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. MY CAR HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. I FELT THEY SHOULD FIX IT BUT THEY WONT UNLESS I PAY THE $2500 OR SO.

THE CAR HAS A STRONG GAS SMELL THAT HAS A KNOW PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS WHEN TANK IS OVER HALF FULL. GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 15682 PRIMARY TANK MODULE FLANGE FUEL AND VAPOR LEAK IN JULY 2016. BUT MANY OF US AS SECOND OWNERS DID NOT RECEIVE THE LETTER TO TAKE CAR BACK WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE CAR HAS SMELL IS SO STRONG CANNOT PARK THE CAR IN GARAGE AND CAN SMELL WHEN IT OUTSIDE. I WOULD BELIEVE THERE COULD BE A RISK OF FIRE IF CAR WAS IN A SMALL ENCLOSED SPACE AND A SOURCE OF IGNITION WAS PRESENT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FULL RECALL BASED ON A GAS VAPOR LEAK NOT JUST A SERVICE ADJUSTMENT. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH GM ON THIS BUT THEY CLAIM ITS TO LATE EVEN THOUGH THEY ISSUED A 3RD REVISION OF THE ADJUSTMENT IN JULY 2017. TO ME FOR A KNOWN FUEL VAPOR LEAK PROBLEM THERE SHOULD BE NO EXPIRATION LIKE A RECALL

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THERE IS A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN THE CAR. I FIRST STARTED NOTICING THIS MID-YEAR THIS YEAR (2019). AFTER SEVERAL DAYS, THE ODOR IS LESS. IF THE CAR SITS FOR A TIME WITH MORE THAN 3/4 FULL TANK, THE ODOR IS QUITE NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU GET IN THE CAR.
