THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BEZELS ON MY 2016 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN, THEY SNAP IN/OUT. THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE SOMEONE STOLE MINE AND I'M SURE THEY WERE ALSO WANTING TO GET THE TAIL LIGHTS. ANYWAY, THE REAR TAIL LIGHT BEZELS ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN, THEY SNAP IN/OUT. SOMEONE CAN EASILY STEAL MY TAIL LIGHTS AFTER THE BEZELS ARE REMOVED MAKING MY CAR UNSAFE FOR TRAVEL. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY HOME UNDER A CAR PORT. THERE ARE LOTS OF ONLINE VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT TEACH ANYONE HOW TO REMOVE THESE BEZELS WITH JUST A SMALL TOOL TO GRAB ONTO THE BEZEL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR (TWO WEEKS AGO) AND THE CAR SMELLS UP THE GARAGE OF HEAVY GAS FUMES. WE TRIED REPLACING THE GAS CAP BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. SEEMS TO BE AT ITS STRONGEST AFTER GASSING UP THE CAR. GAS FUMES CAN ALSO BE SMELLED WHEN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS DOWN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED THAT MY GARAGE IS GOING TO BLOW UP SINCE THE WATER HEATER IS JUST A COUPLE OF FEET FROM THE CAR OR THAT THE CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS AND SEEMS MANY CORVETTE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. I'M FEELING SO DISCOURAGED FOR BUYING A CORVETTE, OUR DREAM CAR. IS THERE AN RECALLS FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR LEAK PATH IN LEFT HAND FUEL PUMP MODULE FLANGE. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER SMELLING GAS DURING FILL UPS, THEY SAID MY PROBLEM WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE RIGHT HAND SIDE TRANSFER MODULE WAS LEAKING NOT THE LEFT SIDE. HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS DUE TO THE RIGHT SIDE VERSUS THE LEFT SIDE WHEN THEY ARE BOTH MADE FROM THE SAME MATERIALS. CONTACTED GM AND THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THIS. THE RIGHT SIDE FUEL TAKE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS WELL THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND A SAFETY ISSUE FOR HEALTH AND PARKING NEXT TO A GAS WATER HEATER.

FUEL LEAK FROM PASSENGER SIDE TANK. IF TANKS SHOW ANYMORE THAN 1/2 FULL I GET DRIPPING OF FUEL ON THE PAVEMENT. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING.. STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS IS A SEVERE FIRE HAZARD. THE CHEVROLET DEALER EXPLAINS THAT THIS COMPLAINT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THAT HAS EXPIRED.
