2009 Chevrolet Corvette

Special Coverage Adjustment 15682 Primary Tank Module Flange Fuel and Vapor Leaks The above Special Coverage Adjustment was issued by General Motors regarding fuel leakage problem in certain Corvette and Cadillac vehicles. General Motors established a date certain for the vapor and/or fuel leakage involving a failing plastic located on the left side top of the fuel cell. Unfortunately, the condition of the platic part failing is not predicable and might not be detected within the date range GM set. My 2009 Corvette is now experiencing the issue--vapor detection which means there is a small but maybe unnoticed amount of fuel actually leaking at the top of the fuel cell. Fuel leaking in area immediately above the exhaust might well result in a fire while being driven and garaged. GM should have made repairs regardless of the Company date range. GM should make repairs regardless of when the vehicle might demonstrate a hazard situation do to a part failure.

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?

A strong fuel odor persists around the driver's side fuel tank/fuel filler neck. This odor is stronger when the tank exceeds 5/8ths full. A Special Coverage Adjustment was issued by Chevrolet, ref #N150682, GWM #2015682 in January 2017 which extended the factory warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles. I purchased this vehicle in July 2020 which exceeds that extended warranty. The fuel odor is a major problem as the vehicle is parked inside a closed garage and the vapors are strong enough to enter the house. Also the fuel odor is present inside the cabin as the vehicle is being driven. Chevrolet has not issued a recall on the dangerous problem and is unwilling to work with me on what will end up being an extremely expensive repair. Their best estimate is that the plastic OEM fitting on the downstream side of the fuel pump has a minor fracture causing fuel to spew out on top of the fuel tank where it eventually evaporates, leaving no evidence of fuel leaks under the car. This problem has been acknowledged by GM as the factory warranty was extended to cover repairs of a known factory issue causing the fuel leaks.
